Latino Pt. 2 - Joell Ortiz, !llmind, Chris Rivers

Cry first and laugh last

Television was on, we never had dads

And the city was flooded with mad crack

Cause they experiment on minorities like we lab rats

Priorities, it’s fuck authority

A man that can stand on his own and show maturity

I ain’t ever ask for a loan, I’ve been supportin' me

Takin' cash from hoes like a sorority

Oh yeah they comin' for your life

Con Ed, I’m comin' for your light

It’s bonded, I’m livin' out of spite

You ain’t bleed then it wasn’t worth the fight

I’m givin' y’all bread and water, ah bread and water all they get

And it ain’t shakin' no hands, so fuck your politics

This isn’t makin' a band, I burn a lot of bridges down

Then I played in the ash like fuck a following

All we ever wanted was good pussy and credit scores

Their own cars is better than all our rentals are

I’m sick of y’all, dudes switchin' and gettin' hot

Like Bruce Jenner and menopause

Ain’t never told us detox the senators

I say they sent us to detox the criminals

So the minute that we pop his genitals

Emilio ain’t gon' ever fall, I told y’all

Everybody pressin' charges, they ain’t change where I’m from

It’s no game, even Ndamukong Suh

Connect try to keep me out the loop

It’s canine proof, all my birds in the coop

Niggas wanna see me in the cage (but why?)

My lawyer gets surprised with the money I save (ching ching!)

I’m low like Fetty Wap’s left eye

I coulda sworn I saw Left Eye in Best Buy

Nike slippers, read the paper on the milk crates

Sippin' Arizona, I got stripes like a Zebra Cake

Believe me, fast money like a relay

Shopped in SoHo when Prince Street had replays

>D-day?clashing mandible???<

Put you in the earth, what it’s worth you can act natural

The pragmatical mathematical rappin' cannibal

Who ramp with animals, Bronx nigga that has an attitude

You see my avenue is compatible with a battle room

I never sold crack, just wrote dope lines to hand to you

Package that, I got the Cadillac of flows

Cataracs these hoes cause I’m soundin' like platinum gold

You never see a ghost, that’s what me and my dad was told

So now I’m pickin' up the torch while these labels haggle my soul

Y’all can suck the undercuts of my nuts while I take a shit

Only spend nights, I don’t gotta know what patience is

All you niggas bitches, to exist you gotta take my rent

Blow your fuckin' head off clean bro, save the witness

Latino, I’m that and I’m proud

If you don’t know us, let me tell you about

Niggas that slam their dominoes loud, let you see copy

cheek choffy

Cherry coco, peña drip 'til your teeth sloppy

Hustlers become connects when they need papis

Nissan, Honda, Chevy on the back block

Runnin' routes with the bow bow in the stash box

When I speak it’s chop yaow, I’m a New Yorican

Calderon on the phone, I’m in Loiza creepin'

Y’all hangin' on resorts to just chill

I’m in the 'caserios' take a walk down the hill

One way in, one way out, where y’all all could get killed

Leave them niggas alone, that’s how the officers feel

Nigga, my people, beach, 98 gettin' our tan on

Slippers walkin' on Orchard, hittin' the sand strong

But plan wrong, it will transform

Wet you then find a Jet Blue out to San Juan

We don’t look for parties, the party’s wherever we go

Turn the corner section to the 4th of Julio

Too much to fit in one 16

So let me cook like the festival on 1/16

Mean, my career’s been like one sick dream

A nightmare, scary how I does this thing

You ain’t elite, I’m made of deep

God thought he was stuntin' when he created me

Rap’s Bobby Fischer, nigga please take a seat

I made you in three moves: ink, paper, beat

Y’all keep playin', nigga, we play for keeps

Stop claimin' to be what my eyes don’t see though

Every verse I spit, you get an 'ay dios mio'

This time with my amigos, Latinos
