Intro:

yea

This ones for all my family everyone back home

All my people

All my lost brothers and sisters

I promise I’m coming bak

To Resurrect my roots

And Put on for my city

The place where I was born

Lima Peru

....Listen!

V.1:
I do this for my people, and Lost Souls that never made it/
From Peru to Sacramento, just check how far Ima take it/
All around the world, cuz see I'm bound for greatness/
Truly Proud of where I'm from, so listen to me celebrate it/
Born in the city of kings, where only the strong survive/
Should died, but thank God my Dad and Mom arrived/
To save me and my twin brother, the odds defied/
Now we tryna make the most, It's must b Gods design/
I know he has a greater plan for me/
2 give back to my people and stand up for my family/
So trust that's what Ima do, swear I'll never let ya down/
A young Latino spittin true, comin' str8 outta the underground/
And best believe fam, when I shine u shine/
Swear u the reason why I even put my life on the line/
The inspiration behind the rhymes, it's all u/
All my people in the struggle, all of Lima, Peru/

HOOK:
This is everything I live for, everything I am/
Everything that's in my heart, I just hope u understand/
For my people, this dedicated to y'all/
Sincerely for my people, I promise I give my all/
Yea) This is everything I live for, everything I am/
Everything that's in my soul, I just hope u understand/
For my people, this dedicated to y'all/
Sincerely for my people, I promise to stand strong/

V.2:
I can feel it in my soul, this is bigger than me/
This music right here, will Make the whole city believe/
That dreams are for real, so what u driven to be?/
Just know Minds the limit, so live ambitiously!/
Cuz man ain't nothin stronger than ya will, can't u see I'm livin proof/
Where I'm from I swear most the kids ain't even got a roof/
No electricity, clean water or food/
Poverty stricken so damn what's a mother to do/
No options except to put her only sons up for adoption/
Had a daughter, my lil sister, I miss ya, ya not forgotten/
Remember last time I was with u? I think about it often/
Prayin u still alive, instead of restin in a coffin/
And every time, I think about it i cry/
Knowing that we had to leave u both behind/
& tho my bro and I survived, I can't help but wonder why/
Then I hear my ancestors, ignitin the fire inside/

HOOK:@49
(Yea) This is everything I live for, everything I am/
Everything that's in my heart, I just hope u understand/
For my people, this dedicated to y'all/
Sincerely for my people, I promise I give my all/
Yea) This is everything I live for, everything I am/
Everything that's in my soul, I just hope u understand/
For my people, this dedicated to y'all/
Sincerely for my people, I promise to stand strong/

V.3:
See Y'all everything I live for, everything I love/
Everything I represent, all my outlaws and thugs/
Thats la familia, and there ain't nothin above/
I make music for the hopeless so they never give up/
And trust I never give up, long as I'm still breathing/
Forever fightin with my voice till we all eatin/
Showing the strength of my generation for generations/
Out Trailblazin', so witness history in the makin!/
And yo when it's all said and done, Ima b one with my people/
Ima Return back home, and throw a free show for my people/
Reachin out to my community, just spreadin the love back/
So they know it's on Fasho, whenever I come back/
It's good from the barrio to the hood/
This for all those who kept tryin, but in the end they never could/
All my lost brothers and sisters I'm here to Let u know/
I got u in my heart and I'll never let u go/

HOOK:
(Yea) This is everything I live for, everything I am/
Everything that's in my heart, I just hope u understand/
For my people, this dedicated to y'all/
Sincerely for my people, I promise I give my all/
Yea) This is everything I live for, everything I am/
Everything that's in my soul, I just hope u understand/
For my people, this dedicated to y'all/
Sincerely for my people, I promise to stand strong/
