El Camino

Lyrics

[Hook] I believed in you That time you looked me in the eyes and lied to me and told me our dreams would come true I was a fool [Verse 1] All I ever wanted was a Chevy El Camino I became an alcoholic, unemployed, it crushed my ego Had a good job, but they sent it overseas, so To make ends meet I did a lot of things, some illegal Rolling in a Regal Really it's a Honda, man I'm riding out to Chino Gotta get my cousin something That he thinks he need, so He can pay his mama's mortgage And feed all his people Fuck the world Deep in her kegels I got a friend that had PTSD in the seventh grade He said he got molested when he went to CYA By eleventh grade He was catching every fade The cops broke his collar bone, rib cage, pepper sprayed him I never said that he was right I never said that we was wrong I always laughed when Rodney King said "Can't we all get along?" I don't want to kick it I don't want to protest and picket I've seen more change when the city in flames 'Ya dig it? Black Lives Matter's just a popular phrase All Lives Matter's what I'm not gon' say Blue Lives Matter's if a cop was a race But no lives matter, shoot a cop in the face A nigga and a cracker And a 'spic and a kike And a chink and a faggot And a tranny and a dyke Because people are people We ain't shit and created equal I never got my mother fucking Chevy El Camino [Hook] I believed in you That time you looked me in the eyes and lied to me and told me our dreams would come true I was a fool [Verse 2] I'm from the City of the Angels I wrestled with my demons I make deals with devils I traded in my hopes, my dreams My feathers, my halo For a piece of precious metal So don't ask me if I'm damned All I ever wanted was a Chevy El Camino But I bought a white Bronco Because OJ was my hero I wanted Dream Team like Johnnie Cochrane and Rob Shapiro 'Cuz in this world people judge you before they meet you It's the twenty-tens mayne And this is my opinion I state it like a fact, as if there's a difference Macklemore made a long-ass song about White Privilege, oh I get it White Privilege is when people listen to your opinions for, like, nine minutes I'm from the side of the city with most of the crime in it They built concrete boxes hours out and we'll do time in it In due time, or not You'll never know where you'll be, bro I know I never got my fuckin' Chevy El Camino [Hook] I believed in you That time you looked me in the eyes and told me our dreams would come true I was a fool I believed in you That time you looked me in the eyes and told me my dreams would come true
