Tired of hiding without control
Lights flashing, its border patrol
People dashing, all of this for a better home

Talkin' bout' reforms but nothing shown
I'm bout to graduate as well
Is this the American Dream, or a nightmare in hell

Or an American Scheme, that those Republicans tell
Make it seem like everything is just well
Its like everyday, you hope your luck won't fail

Hopin you don't get stuck in jail
But it happens, you were walking to work
Under the table of course, barely got food, and when a cop arrests you it just makes it all worse

I just wonder if this life is a curse
Obamas helping but he aint making it work
All my people being taken away, Well taking them hurts

Imagine losing your mom and dad
It sucks to know that where your from is bad
So you want a better future, so you don't relive their past

So if you want to help, please do this all fast
Because if our futures a race, then my people are last
Lets cut to the chase, we just want a good life, with a couple good laughs


School, thats what we all pass
But their's things we can't afford, so then fall back

No snapback no concords, but we aint worried bout that

Hook:


And we pray at night
just to hope we can stay alright

We won't go down , not without a fight
When it was dark I saw some light
So we pray all night

I wake up, hope my moms alright
We won't go down , not without a fight
We're there now because we're all in sight

So we pray all night
Just to hope we can stay alright
So we pray at night


I hope god listens to my prayers
It seems like he did, another layer to my story

Another hater to my glory
Like Kobe , being a laker till he's forty
And truth is, I have hope

Hear this, Im to dope
Study my lyrics , read and learn it
We want it all we ain't staying with permits

We want to be staying up high, but all i hear is politics
like they playing with lives
Life ain't no game, so why they telling us lies

Is you telling the truth , nah nah nope
We know you want that vote
But you ain't getting it , nah nah nope

Imma live long, why, i have hope
You're wrong and you know, so just give us a chance
Truth is , we're just fans

Of this great country, we call home
