Some Dayz
Some dayz when I wake up
I think this is all for what
Shut up and shut out
Of the rest of the world
Tired of trying to make a difference
I ask if it all make sense
But that’s the devil perusing me
Enticing me with material dreams
Dammit some dayz I just wanna get paid
Annoyed cuz it’s been so long
Since I’ve been meaningfully employed
But what can I expect out of a system
Where rejection has no correction
So I continue writing rhymes
Not cuz I believe in getting signed
Cuz my mind can’t be confined
I gotta create or I’ll die
Then I’m reminded of the struggle
And that all of us need to be free
My brothaz say don’t forget that you got me
Those dayz when you wake up to your clock
And you feel like pickin up a glock
Cuz you think your done
Remember you still got some
Sanity left in you
We’re gonna make it through
This oppressive occupation
Don’t give in to your frustration
Cuz we need to be healthy
To confront the system
working out everyday
going to play soccer on Saturdayz
reading about Latin American History
so our minds aren’t clouded in mystery
when it comes to knowing where we from
cuz being latino ain’t just about salsa and drinking rum
Allende said, "La Historia es nuestra y la hacen los pueblos"
I say, "victory is ours as long as we grow"
Never letting the enemy control our mind
No hay pero ciego then those that want to be blind
I have a compañera that holds me down
She make me feel like I be wearin a crown
Not cuz I’m machista but she’s my queen
I have a son who’s the cutest you’ve ever seen
I’d give my life for both them
Cuz they both gems
I always include them in my prayers before I say Amen
Family is the reason we struggle
And we think twice before getting caught up in the hustle
But every month the bills need to be juggled
And that’s why I get tired
Thinking every year that things will change
But it don’t it really is strange
Things get harder and harder
And that’s when I think about givin my life like a matyr
But I ain’t going out like that cuz I’m smarter
Cuz I’m going to fight for my loved ones everyday
Cuz the love they give me I could never betray
So I’m calling all you people that feel the same
If we organize we can destroy the capitalist game
Make people realize the truth and put them to shame
And then our children’s children will tell the story
of how their ancestors overcame
a system that wasn’t really democratic
controlled by fanatics of an antiquated ideology
that had us all believing in their fallacies
dehumanized livin on our knees
consumed by their disease
so I ask you people are you ready to make history
