Lyrics
You know how things go nowadays
And what they saying then, uh
They tell me they don't mean what they sayin'
Convinced that it's my fault, like I don't understand
Pretend that they ain't talkin' to me, look away
Shut your mouth, step aside, know your place, while they run it
They tell us they don't mean what they sayin'
They tell us we at fault, that we can't comprehend
Pretend that they they ain't talkin' bout me, fuck that
Take a stand, set it off, blow the speakers, turn it up uh
Excuse me while I step in for a minute
There's a space up in the podium for all of my friends
Your reluctance to give it up, its showing all your weakness
Every day of the week, the weekday to the weekend
We prove it to you, yeah we prove it to all of y'all
The bottom to top, yeah while trying not to fall
Overcompensating every day and every night
It's an uphill battle in my mind and in my sight uh
I'm insecure yeah but can you blame me?
Singled out, called out all of my life
For the things we can't change, for the fact that I belong here
Pushing me aside wishing I just disappear while
They tell me they don't mean what they sayin'
Convinced that it's my fault, like I don't understand
Pretend that they ain't talkin' to me, look away
Shut your mouth, step aside, know your place, while they run it
They tell us they don't mean what they sayin'
They tell us we at fault, that we can't comprehend
Pretend that they they ain't talkin' bout me, fuck that
Take a stand, set it off, blow the speakers, turn it up uh
America land of the free home of the brave yet
Scared to walk the streets while my family catching grief
Insecure, wasn't sure, was my life to be shamed?
Hold up wait a minute gotta recognize the difference yeah
Between my life and others I gotta make sure my brothers understand
Push forward, be proud, be loud yeah actions speaker louder than words
Live by the sword, die by the sword
They try to break your mind before you see the light
Time to break the wall before it sees sight
Arriba animo let's do this one more time
Yeah you know what? Viva Mexico
They tell me they don't mean what they sayin'
Convinced that it's my fault, like I don't understand
Pretend that they ain't talkin' to me, look away
Shut your mouth, step aside, know your place, while they run it
They tell us they don't mean what they sayin'
They tell us we at fault, that we can't comprehend
Pretend that they they ain't talkin' bout me, fuck that
Take a stand, set it off, blow the speakers, turn it up uh
Shit, I ain't going nowhere
My place is right here though
Yo i_n_c, haha turn it up though
Fuck that, set it off
Blow the speakers uh, yeah
Ya tu sabes, homie
Stand, stand
Shut your mouth, step aside, know your place, while they run it
They sayin'
Stand, stand
They run it
Take a stand, set it off, blow the speakers, turn it up uh
