Jaded Jag - Live Oak Lyrics

Marcho valientemente siempre al frente de su gente
Sobre el pecho reluciente su Guanín

I was born next to a condor nest
In the Andean Mountains where Atahualpa rests
From the moment we breathe
There's zero tolerance for boys that look like me
The shade of my skin is criminalized
Time to preserve the indigenous phenotype
Fell in love with a Native shorty
She look like my ancestors homie
Ha I said it no liberal political correctness in my message
Native 'til the death my people come first
Being an emcee is a title that's earned
So write your own lyrics if not you're finished
The pressures on
Present to dismantle the oppression dawg
Show the youth how gifted they are
We might lose a battle but we'll win the war
There's zero stagnation in the universe
Either you die or you grow
So I hit them pull-ups bro
Lava rocks tied to my feet these knuckles are bloody
Push-ups on the concrete huaraches are muddy
I'm running full throttle towards my goals
Never shackled to a bottle my sobriety is code
Kindergarten Jaguar with the Jansport
Maria walked her seed home from Live Oak

I'm never faded fam my radiance will last
So I channel energy into a jaded mask
Never faded I'm available for combat
Drummin' for justice no substance can hold me back
No substance can hold me captive
They can't capture a savage
I'm Maria's seed here to tell you what's happenin'
I'm never faded fam my radiance will last
So I channel energy into a jaded mask
Never faded I'm available for combat
Drummin' for justice no substance can hold me back
No substance can hold me captive
They can't capture a savage
I'm Maria's seed here to tell you what the math is

Settin' up the soccer cones at Live Oak
My father is the realest grinded non-stop
The illest soccer coach and a factory job
Made sure we always had a meal
Its certain gear he wouldn't let me wear
Afraid I'll get killed in these California fields its real
They aim at your ball cap
Instead of a tall can I buy my son a toy homeboy
Avoid the poison
Never understood how someone could prefer
The alcohol bottle over being a father
So I'm never fictional I'm Místico in a Battle Royal
Loyal to this Turtle Island soil
You're more Aristotle I'm more Nezahualcoyotl
I'm from the Four Corners where the condor soars
I'm Andean born this story will be told
No intro this the Jaguar lord

I'm never faded fam my radiance will last
So I channel energy into a jaded mask
Never faded I'm available for combat
Drummin' for justice no substance can hold me back
No substance can hold me captive
They can't capture a savage
I'm Maria's seed here to tell you what's happenin

Everyday I wake and go get plata
If you're in my way ima ankle pick you
Hit you with the Gogoplata
I have the anger and the hunger some of yall don't
Some don't stand for nothing anymore
Pre-school to fifth grade I went to Live Oak
Seems like I'm on my own when its time to battle
All I need is my shadow
I'm a Sapa Inca not a Pharaoh

Marcho valientemente siempre al frente de su gente
Sobre el pecho reluciente su Guanín
