You know sometimes in this game,
being a Latino coming up in this industry,
it's like a fight with your
back up against the wall,
you know what I'm saying?
You gotta give it your all,
keep on riding to the motherfucking end,
coming up from the barrio,
this is why I stay on the streets,
I've been patiently waiting to
that could strengthen the heart,
the underdog of the stretch
and quick to bite when you bark,
fight when you talk like clock,
Almost died in bursts and then I bit,
stay connected while I'm breaking,
stacking sins like 50 calliers after we back
it's like a motherfucking track
Three stripes, police slice,
late nights with street fights
Motherfuckers be over there by
before they reach and get right
Falling a victim to the system,
always going in them circles
In the studio writing verses
while I'm choking on purple
good cars with quick cash
You could always tell who's winning the war,
Ball heads in blue brass,
brown skin covered with tacks
I'm from the side where the gang bangs
Day to day, it's the same thing
I was raised to pull out pistols,
keep runnin', duckin' officials
Put it in work until they come and get you, homie,
I'm the side where the gang bangs
I was raised to do the same thing
Straight livin' the life of danger,
I come from a broken home,
was introduced to the street
My only friend was my cronch
fools that's just like me
That grew up rough like me
That just don't give a fuck like me
Quit the throbs and ableist
And quit the bust like me
All on the waistline is where
Cortez in bed, David Spice shirts
And Dickey jackets, 25s, not 380s
Even them automatics through I .A
and my peers were educated
Share the tip for those who didn't
most wanted and most hated
Different spots getting rated
All my homies affiliated,
This is how I live, there's a check
Me and my homies kick the dust
till there's no dirt on the ground
that I'm still here doin'
Some of the homies servin' time
I'm from the side where the gang bangs
Day to day, this the same thing
I was raised to pull out pistols,
keep runnin', duckin' officials
Put it in work until they come
and get you, homie, cause I'm a rider
I'm the side where the gang bangs
I was raised to do the same thing
Straight livin' the life of danger,
Cause homie, I'm a rioter
I was raised as a latino,
Look that different cause
Never gave a shit a minority
Live with a criminal cause I broke the laws
They said in my community,
Browns killing browns on the daily
In a world so cruel and shady
and they keep feeding us drugs
All throughout the neighborhoods,
that methamphetamine burn
It's all so up to no good
Homie, space of the life sit tin'
Skin stuck with no choice
When you can't shake the voice
Body bags and white chalk,
In the crooked -ass cops,
Enforcing these gang injustices
like a city full of crooked shit
and I hear that saying a lot
they fall a victim to this wicked -ass lot
I'm from the side where they gang bang
Day to day, it's the same thing
I was raised to pull out pistols,
keep running, ducking officials
Put it in work until they come and get you, homie,
I'm from the side where they gang bang
I was raised to do the same thing
Straight livin' the life of danger,
My anger always keep a one in
I stay on the streets, homie
The streets embrace a motherfucker,
you know what I'm sayin'?
This shit don't stop, homie
