I'm a nigga and I can't go outside I'm a Chicano and I can't go outside We looking bad on the news black on black homicide I need them dollars, got these problems with this llama on my mind They make it harder by the day, gotta keep this hope alive

Yeah, we all fall down The higher we fly the harder it feels when we hit the ground What makes a man work until it's kids too old to kiss and hug He won't climb another imaginary mountain when he is in love enough What makes a man build a kingdom all

It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings Pull harder Flush gasping white reddening You smile and destroy it it's time that we end this

I know you don't even love the same, do you, do you? The way you move it's like you could use a vacation Drinking Hen' and the harder you dance I swear right now it look like you on a vacation Gotta get away, make it happen Whatever happened just had to

A man I'll never be You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you see If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see If I said what's on my mind You'd turn

Yeah, we all fall down The higher we fly the harder it feels when we hit the ground What makes a man work until it's kids too old to kiss and hug He won't climb another imaginary mountain when he is in love enough What makes a man build a kingdom all

And you know it, know it, know it It gets harder for me Every time you walk in the room You got all eyes on you Don't stop doin' what you're doin' Every time you move to the beat And don't stop 'cause you know that I like it Oh oh oh oh But I'm gonna
