Sombrero Shadows

Late nights, lowrider rollin' slow

Mama said, "mijo, choose your road"

I keep my circle small,

keep my chin up

Bills on the table,

I won't give in,

nah From the block to the booth,

I learned to breathe Turn pain into gold,

let the whole world see I don't talk tough,

I talk truth in time One step at a time,

still I shine

Hands on the wheel,

eyes on the signs If I fall,

I'll get up, I'll be fine

No more games with the dark in my mind I draw a

line, I draw a line

I was raised with the grit and the grace Brown skin,

hard days, still I hold my place I don't live for the

hate, I live for my name On my own two feet,

I won't be tamed

Ride slow, head high,

let the speakers play Every scar on my heart made a stronger

day

From the dust to the lights,

I'm here to say I'ma make my way,

I'ma make my way

Old friends wanna test me,

I stay calm I got dreams in my pocket like a lucky

charm I send love to my city when I'm far away Same

streets, new me, different day I ain't perfect,

but I'm learnin' to mend Keep my word,

that's the way that I stand

If you know that struggle,

you understand We don't fold,

we don't fold I seen the mirror crack,

I picked the pieces up Prayed for a second chance,

kept my feet in mud If I ever go down,

I go down with love With love,

with love

I was raised with the grit and the grace Brown skin,

hard days, still I hold my place I don't live for the

hate, I live for my name On my own two feet,

I won't be tamed Ride slow,

head high, let the speakers play Every scar on my heart made

a stronger day From the dust to the lights,

I'm here to say I'ma make my way,

I'ma make my way (ohh) (yeah) (ahh)
