Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah We'd like to welcome y'all; Rebel Diaz! All Power to the People! [Pre-Hook: Rebel Diaz] As long as you playin' for the other team The hood ain't living the American Dream Yo, I ain't never scared So we get prepared 'Cause if not, we get stuck in this nightmare [Verse 1: Rodstarz] Ayo, these rappers made it rain So my flight's delayed So I look for sunny days Creating my own lanes See, Life takes a toll So I live the freeway You playing for the wrong team You should just request a trade What if King James was like Muhammad Ali? Okay, What if Jay-Z talked about getting free? Instead of more beef, we need more green So we plant more trees on these concrete streets Please don't leave when you get that degree Fat cats get the cheese, so we ain't making no grease See, I stay on the block like return deliveries And I don't want your company if it includes misery My gender ain't secret, it's not a mystery I'm ahead of my time, so the press is missing me I bet the story would be different in the history pages If 2Pac would've never set foot in Vegas [Pre-Hook: Rebel Diaz, G1] As long as you playing for the other team The hood ain't living the American Dream Yo, I ain't never scared (Never scared) So we get prepared (Get prepared) 'Cause if not, we get stuck in this nightmare [Hook: Rebel Diaz, G1] Ayo, News lie to ya Schools don't school ya Cops want to shoot ya But whatchu gonna do about it? Rich get richer Poor get thinner, (How comfortable yo pillow?) So whatchu gonna do about it? [Verse 2: G1] I got a fresh pairs of Nikes, (uh-huh) Make feel nice (yeah) Like I'm worth more according to what I buy Ay mamá, no estabas equivocada The system, te amara; Sell out or get bought up (yeah) Drawn by the dollars Not God or Allah Except when they invoke to gain more power (more power) A la moda, follow the code 'cause if not you left out alone in the cold, bruh See, it's a price on peace, hot price to get a piece Small slice of that pie make you beast Crowds in the bucket, it's a must to get above it If you ain't sharing abundance, then you ain't about nothing Buggin' if you think we could be one of them 'Bout making more ends than just playing pretend And when you hit that concrete ceiling Even after making millions You gon' see my vision [Pre-Hook: Rebel Diaz, G1] As long as you playing for the other team The hood ain't living the American Dream Yo, I ain't never scared (Never scared) So we get prepared (Get prepared) 'Cause if not, we get stuck in this nightmare [Hook: Rebel Diaz, G1] Ayo, News lie to ya Schools don't school ya Cops want to shoot ya But whatchu gonna do about it? Rich get richer Poor get thinner, (How comfortable yo pillow?) So whatchu gonna do about it? [Outro] The American way of life is simply not sustainable, because It doesn't acknowledge that there is a world beyond America I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican I don't even consider myself an American
