[Music]

Do you remember when we were all alone? Back when

we were just kids from the hood, but now

we're living fine. Remember when we used to smoke weed

with the neighbor? What is destiny if nothing

is already decided? If not, go ask the

government. When I saw myself, I didn't see a

sailor's little outfit; damn right, I'm made of

gold

Latino, not a nobody. Red eyes, if I'm

the one, I'm the

you already know I've been crazy since we were kids

[Music]

we're coming

from the airport, heading straight for the series. We

aren't just "lit" anymore, we're high, we're just

feeling the vibe at the table

They ask me why I am

the way I am, why they cry and never get enough. Let me

the president of... see? The world is mine, just like

an Apache. No, no, go ask the

government. When I saw myself, I didn't see a

sailor's little outfit; damn right, I'm

made of gold

and never get enough. Let me sleep, red

like...
