Revelations Lyrics

When I was growing up

I made a vow to be different

See I was part of a system

I've seen homies buried in dirt or end up prison

Like many I was raised by a single mother

I was infatuated by the money and respect

And flags of a color

When I ended up in the hospital

With death over watching me I knew I had a purpose

I had a story to tell

A story to give

So the truth came to surface

I serve my time for this country

Like I served time for the streets

I put my time in this music

For years I've been painting this masterpiece

It's far from being done

Everyday I pray to god that my strokes on this canvas never change

I made a vow to be different

And I pray that doesn't change

I came into this shit trying to make a change

If you ain't got the follows you ain't getting plays

Everybody talk everybody say

He's really from the hood so tell me what he bang

He's rocking up the Nikes and he got the chain

Without you realizing that it took the pain

Started from the bottom I was in the rain

Hitting different artist so they heard my tape

Nobody wants to fuck with you until the buzz

Everybody watch but never shows the love

And the industry is grimy if you know what's up

People going to do you dirty just to get a dub

I see the music videos and it's all the same

Money, woman, respect cause it shows the fame

Why would I, try to fake something that I ain't

That ain't me I'm just looking for the better days

If you took a listen you would hear the truth

I'm Chicano, I know I got a lot to prove

See my people in a bucket trying to make a move

But my people are the reason that we never move

You can hate me for the truth, but I know it hurts

You can hate me for the facts that were on my verse

It don't really make a difference im a man of word

You reveal the truth when you're from the dirt

Im praying I don't fall, begging this to you

Keep me in my path please I'm begging you

I know you got a plan but I'm asking you

Don't ever let me change because you know the truth

Im praying I don't fall, begging this to you

Keep me in my path please I'm begging you

I know you got a plan but I'm asking you

Don't ever let me change because you know the truth

Was asking for the help no one gave it out

I started up a label and I coughed it out

I'm the type of motherfucker just to help them out

I remember starting up and everybody doubts

If you ever did me dirty man I wish you well

Hope your life is full of blessings and it's full of health

See this life will come around and put us in a shelf

And when karma is at your door you did it to yourself

Hope I never get derailed from what I believe

The more money that you get is not enough to feed

The hunger deep inside when you feel the greed

I just want to set my family for what they need

I'm praying I don't fall begging this to you

Keep me in my path please I'm begging you

I know you got a plan but I'm asking you

Don't ever let me change cause you know the truth

I'm praying I don't fall begging this to you

Keep me in my path please I'm begging you

I know you got a plan but I'm asking you

Don't ever let me change because you know the truth

I'm praying I don't fall begging this to you

Keep me in my path please I'm begging you

I know you got a plan but I'm asking you

Don't ever let me change because you know the truth
