I'm just a gangsta with a crease in my jeans
Locs and a bandana that I got from a G
I keep it thuggin' and rugged 'cause that's how everyone loves it
I keep it hood in my music and I ain't talkin' bout gunnin'
Now you think I'm all strapped 'cause the way that I'm walkin'
Like I'm a killer and my town is the nineteen eighty-eight Compton
Cops harassing me, tryna O'Shea Jackson me
Having visions in my dreams of strangers coming at me blasting me
Why, why you gotta look back at me twice
Your descriptions of me are all lies
Why you looking down on my life
It ain't right
You hide when you see me ride
And every time I'm by your side
Take a look into my eyes
I'm just another Mexican dirty as a lesbian
I represent for Mexico let it go I was heaven sent
Labeled as a weapon, I'm a rebel 'cause my skin
Nobody gives me a chance I'm as innocent as the government
Corrupted, I'm a symbol of violence and drugs
Put a bounty on my head I got the mind of a thug
They wanna capture me using classic strategies
I'm laughing at you mad at me tryna cause me tragedies bad
Man it's so sad to see that's how you really think of me
When you look at my face 'cause I'm tatted with a goatee
The image of an OG, someone you don't wanna see
In your neighborhood knowing that you don't even know me, damn
Why, why you gotta look back at me twice
Your descriptions of me are all lies
Why you looking down on my life
It ain't right
You hide when you see me ride
And every time I'm by your side
Take a look into my eyes
I'm just a young man with a plan and a dream
I'm an artist and I write bout what I see in the streets
I keep it gutter that's my style but do you know what it means
I come from the bottom like six feet deep
You gotta be on my block like 2Pac, a homie told me
We got OG's we call 'em vets they did so much to earn respect
Now I gotta hold the block down to prove that I'm legit
There's been one goal to reach and it's something I gotta get
In a perfect life will come a miserable life
In a miserable life will come a perfect life
I wake up early morning ask why then I thank God
Another day gone but another day that we survived
Why, why you gotta look back at me twice
Your descriptions of me are all lies
Why you looking down on my life
It ain't right
You hide when you see me ride
And every time I'm by your side
Take a look into my eyes
