Young Zapata II: DREAMer
I been bound here all my life
Eyes blinded by white lies
My life a pair of lies
Oh yes, now life
Life is a pair o' dice
How you interpret that line
Depends on what side you reside on
Oh yes, now I
Served time since 1999
They told me not to cross the line
But that line never crossed my mind
Oh no, their line crossed mine
Your cross is not divine
Now they say get in line
Each breath I take, commit a crime
But now I’m in the know
Like metronome
The time it ticks
I never knew before
Why they send the poor to war
Even back when we had Mr. Forty-Four
Same shit, new face
No more horror lords
Master my fate
A holy grail war
I know that deep down
We all despise war
But this is the means for peace to restore
Now, I gotta go get it
Take everything that I am owed
I been at it, committed
But I been at it on my own
I can never forget it, man
Everything that I was told
That’d I never be shit
Never have a home here
Whoa, now let’s hold up
No, they don’t want no smoke
When I blow up
Know I’m pro-pain though
Ain’t no snow doves
Gotta go out and get a piece of the pie
Ain’t no peace ’til I die
*Michelle Obama and Melania Trump speech*

Living life on the low
Getting old
I don’t got no more time to hide
Time to show
Everything I kept inside
All the woe
Now I’m breaking out of this cage made of gold
And Lady Liberty called me a DREAMer
Maybe at one point I did believe her
I am not a STEM overachiever
DREAMers tend to sleep, OD on ether
I don’t a reason to be alive
No need of a license to feel the drive
I peeped all the lies since my real eyes
Saw all of the evil in legal eyes
Oh my, gotta keep an eye
On all of my lines, for my life
But I’m outta mind
Every line I write, got a side
You can only get
In the state of mind, set of eyes
I’ma die upright
Than live on my knees, with no life
