[Hook]
Like Amado, I’ma be a model
And even if I didn't know you bro we moved to follow your blueprint
Lighting up the movement, This a revolution
Like Amado
Kaya mo, That’s what my mama told
Hope my Kasama’s know
Ain’t no stopping, no option
Until the opps gone fold
Adopted flow, I chop the soul, This optimal
[Verse 1]
Picking up the pieces where my pops start
Lil Chicco dreams of dancing like a pop star
I love my mama but I hope she breaks the curse
In my Lola eyes I see she’s been through worse
Birthed of a generation stressed to save it
It’s back to basics, you would think, but sometimes
I don’t know - is it my place? Is it my right? Is it MySpace to talk?
Is it my shoes to walk?
Raised on the gospels and hymns, I’ve bottled up sin
But honestly, plainly what does this all mean?
I feel white-washed from my skin and tongue
I’ve slipped and fall
While some Twitter thumbs, I ain’t finished, bruh
Like Amado, love is what we guided by
Marching chant the lullaby
With my allies all the time
Picking up the pieces where my mom start
Center City ablaze, that’s a cop car
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I need my kin to speak up
The same when us who’s beat up
The same when it’s bout Jesus
And now they playing preacher
And we still prone to fevers
Rotten ass system, we put our left fists up
AOM til the day go dim
Til our skin sees blisters
Healed wounds form armor for resilience
But don’t romanticize that for your publication ok?
Yes
We been through storms, but need resources today
Relief instated okay? Okay.
Fierce like Luna, Andres-type aura
I feel like Gregorio, the way we build pillars
For the future of youth
For the future of workers alike, and that’s on truth
Like Amado, we going full throttle
Your presence here brother, imperialism we’ll topple
