Lamento
Cyril Kamer
Lament
There's a lot waiting for me to mess up
They're following me like a hawk
I've solved all my problems
And God loves me because I come out clean
The streets gave me my cunning
I'm rolling with the crew like Bryant Myers
Don’t show off that you have cash
My homies are making moves
We’re ramming the car inside
On the AP-7 we’re hitting 200
I’ll get rich or die trying
Life can change in an instant
And many times I barely share it
My heart's filled with lament
But I made a vow to myself
I’ll die with the ones with 500s
Here, if you're not quick, you fly
Praying for my mom and my grandma
I’ll never forget the ones who helped me
If you're my brother, we share everything
The streets left me scarred
You see me smiling even if it hurts
Cyril’s hungry but never asks
Hanging out the window like Spider-Man
Sometimes I wonder what fate has in store
I try to stay on my path
Born a warrior like the Palestinians
Life spins like a casino
We’re tossing the shells into the tide
So ballistics won't catch them
At war like Pablo Escobar and the DEA
I’m tough, but life’s ugly
We’re ramming the car inside
On the AP-7 we’re hitting 200
I’ll get rich or die trying
Life can change in an instant
And many times I barely share it
My heart's filled with lament
But I made a vow to myself
I’ll die with the ones with 500s
I’m blind, mute, and deaf
Point-forty caliber
With the fat crew, kids on the go
They gamble their lives aboard
And they'll take you out if you’re a nuisance
I watch out for those who hug me
Because love’s wickedness wears a disguise
I've seen the fiancée of a prisoner take his place
And how they kill for a house
They’re looking for mine
I do this so I can leave something for my kids
Even my uncle's in the business
Wow, my life’s a mess, yeah
Gotta hustle every Monday
I see the light at the end of that tunnel
I don’t care if the papers catch me
Yeah, rich through autotune
And we ram the car inside
On the AP-7 we’re hitting 200
I’ll get rich or die trying
Life can change in an instant
And many times I barely share it
My heart's filled with lament
But I made a vow to myself
I’ll die with the ones with 500s
