Impala 86

Thoughts come rushing to my mind
How to make some cash? How to be tougher?
Living my life always my way
A bunch of homies keeping an eye out

Impala 86 cruising by
Shiny rims, rolling through San Pancho
A piece under the seats
I'm feeling good, I ain't scared anymore

I've had my share of close calls
But God didn't let me fall down
If life smiles at me today
It's 'cause I've always taken the hits

He strolls through Spain, they see him in Europe
Going a hundred eighty on the speedometer
Tattoos all over, I went through rough times
Hit rock bottom, but now I'm living happy
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

My mother's prayers and a rosary
Keep watching over me wherever I go
Life hit me hard, but it changed me
I always dreamed it, now I see it achieved

I've had my share of close calls
But God didn't let me fall down
If life smiles at me today
It's 'cause I've always taken the hits

He strolls through L.A., they see him in San Diego
In Tijuana, he has close friends
The desert saw him grow, he's loyal to the tribe
The old folks taught him well
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
They taught him well.
