Sup ese
What`s up ese... what you know me man?
Si mon I`m your best homey and you don`t even know me
This vato came up and said hey what`s up holmes
I said you know me? he said si mon I`m your best homie
You were born in September of 1975
You`re already 20 I`m the reason why you`re still alive
I watch everything you do I`ve seen everything you`ve done
I kept you out of jail because i told you when to run
You packed a gun at the age of 13
This vato knows everything about me but this guy I`ve never seen
So I said what you mean? and he said follow me
I`m going crazy that`s exactly what it`s gotta be
He said let`s fly so we took to the sky
He said stop, look and listen pay attention
Now if you have a question then ask
Oh by the way where you takin me?
He said stop, look and listen and you will see
(Chorus)
Listen hear what I`m saying
Listen hear what I`m saying
Listen hear what I`m saying
Listen....(la la la la listen to me)
Do you remember this night?
Oh yeah homie quite clear 2-27-94 was the year
Gunshots is all I hear as we hit up the place
We gave those vatos a taste
Show `em not to fuck around but i got shot in the face
And it was like damn what am i supposed to do
Now i can`t die cause that means they got the best of me fool
He said now anyone else would`ve shook
Come with me let`s take a closer look
He took me down to the carucha i was ridin` in
Who would`ve thought that a bullet I`d be biting here
You shoulda heard all the shit that i was sayin`
I wasn`t playin` as we were spraying I wanted to see some levas laying
Dead in streets of my barrio
They wanted to take my life and that ain`t right
So we had a gunfight
Huero and Dreamer backing me up
And we had the 12-Gauge Mausberg shells stacking them up
And it was like crazy
Shoulda been a western flick
You`ve got two kinds of vatos who don`t give a shit
They came to my neighborhood and got what they got
In other words I`m not the only one who got shot leva (fuckin leva)
(Chorus)
I can`t believe that this is happening to me
God do you want my life well then take me
But if not i need some oxygen
They threw me on a fuckin bed and now I`m off again
In the life flight helicopter soaring through the sky
Knowing I could die but still I won`t cry
Cause it`s like why shed a tear man
When everyday I`m wishing that I wasn`t here man you catch my drift
All you vatos need to take note
I got a bullet in my throat and I`m trying not to choke
Cause if I do I just might go into a panic
And then it just might be the end
Not for this Hispanic
Fuck no I can`t let `em get the best of me
Cause if I die there ain`t no way I`m gonna rest in peace
Knowin` that those vatos are standin tall
Laughin as a Lil` Rob having to take a little fall
But i ain`t one to go out like a bitch
And i ain`t that little vato that vato to go snitch
It`s the barrio`s on when I won`t break
So stop look and listen and you`ll find that ain`t no thing
(Chorus)
{Oldie}
I am saying the truth (the truth)
I am saying the truth (I said it true man)
I am saying the truth (la verdad)
I am saying the truth (si mon)
Ahhhhhhh
