I just wanted to make one for all the jente out there in the struggle.
You know sometimes this life can get you down.
But when that happens don't put on a frown.

Just listen to that vato 40'z. The one with a smile on his face.
Yeah, that clown..."


(Ese 40'z Verse One)
Don't let no one get you down
slogan of the barrio

bumpin oldies loud turn em up on the radio
awake late at night many times I've been thinkin
about my crazy life and the reasons why I'm drinking

lost homies, lost time, lost in the whirlwind
and money is the only thing that seems to make the world spin
keep pushing through as I roll with all the punches

go with the flow crack a brew and let the blunt twist
I guess that's just how I'm livin it these days
but it don't get me down tattoos yellin out my face

that I'm from the barrio but that's only a piece
just a page of a story that continues in the streets
(Ese 40'z Verse Two)

Songs of the calles, songs of the streets
songs that I drop to these firme oldie beats
a dedication to all my homies and my family

relating through the truth as a way of understanding me
don't let em get you down just look to this clown
and listen the hook and beat with the sound

of these words that I speak and I'm trying to tell ya
that we fighting through the struggles cuz we ain't no failures
I seen death all around me and the world is evil

meth pipes, crack addict,s black tar in needles
but I keep pressing on although at times I'm kinda drunk
another day, another week, another time, another month


(Ese 40'z Verse Three)
A big shoutout to my homies on a serrio note

don't let nobody get you down or ever dead your hope
they can't kill what's inside of our barrio souls
we got the will and strength to ride like the barrio knows

so just listen to this song and try to do things right
and let the hataz see the wrong when they catching the light
and for the homies in the struggle trying to make ends meet

I know the world is full of trouble living life in the street
I've been poor dirt broke no water and lights
up in the dark blunt smoke trying to conquer the night

but we survive like no other every city and town
to all my jente from the gutter don't let nobody get you down
