[Intro: Emilio Rojas]
2
Sometimes you gotta let people know where you been
3
So they can appreciate where you at
4
[Verse 1: Emilio Rojas]
5
Growing up, I seen a lot of things go crazy though
6
Product of the 80's though, mama played Madonna
7
While my father played Willie Colon
8
When I was seven, he left us, that's when he fled our home
9
Ain't give my mama nothing, not a cent to help her feed or clothe
10
And we were cold as hell, everybody broke as well
11
The market saturated, couldn't give away a soul for sale
12
Your choice was go to jail or go to school and go in debt
13
Or work a nine to five and live the rest of your life with no respect
14
Some of us done went to early graves or early funerals
15
Sad it happened but it's sadder that it ain't unusual
16
Selling drugs or using "˜em, my cousin was abusing "˜em
17
He tryna rehabilitate, he saw what they was doing to him
18
I got a girl I'm living with because I love her
19
But her family hate my ass, her mama tryna break us up
20
And her father got the monster, no one even knows what stage it's in
21
But if you poor and a minority, you can't get AIDS and live
22
And she just take it in, carrying the weight of it
23
And she don't shed a tear, I never seen such an amazing chick
24
I wanna give the world to her but can't because the space I'm in
25
Somewhere in between unknown and blowing out the frame of this
26
Showing y'all the way it is, showing y'all the way we live
27
Showing y'all the truth behind the bullshit they place us in
28
And I was lost but now I finally found my way again
29
I'm ready for the fight of my life, it's time to weigh me in
30
[Hook: Gene Noble & Emilio Rojas]
31
So much more than just what meets the eye
32
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty)
33
We're on our way somewhere up in the sky
34
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty)
35
And it's so big that even when we die
36
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty)
37
We're gonna be a dynasty, we gotta be a dyntasy
38
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty)
39
[Verse 2: Emilio Rojas]
40
And this for all my people tryna eat
41
I done grown so much, I'm everything that I was tryna be
42
Used to think they cats was out to get me
43
I was blind to see that people wasn't using me
44
They really just relied on me
45
When homie first reached out to me, I thought I hit the lottery
46
I'm standing in them BET Awards like they gon' ride for me
47
Yeah, I was finally part of a team, in the city that never sleeps
48
Now I find it's harder to dream, ain't no rest
49
Up with anxiety all inside of me, sirens passing me by
50
In the city where all the violence be (brrrrrraaatttt)
51
Ain't no economy here "˜cause there's only poverty
52
Section 8 apartments but we dressing in the finer things
53
She got her mother's figure, never knew her father figure
54
Now she strip for figures, her father could be the guy that tip her
55
They on the block again, putting kids through college
56
And drug money turning "˜em toxic instead of scholarships
57
But I don't play the politics, I don't think I'm even voting
58
Obama probably in pocket with all them CEOs
59
And y'all could live for the moment, I'm living for the future
60
I got some sins to atone "˜cause I put some women through hurt
61
And what's a king if the throne has been sitting in manure?
62
And what is living if you just living for getting through it?
63
It's gon' be different for any kid that I bring into it
64
I don't see the sky as the limit to it "˜cause I'mma build a dynasty
65
[Hook: Gene Noble & Emilio Rojas]
66
So much more than just what meets the eye
67
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty)
68
We're on our way somewhere up in the sky
69
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty)
70
And it's so big that even when we die
71
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty)
72
We're gonna be a dynasty, we gotta be a dyntasy
73
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty)
74
So much more than just what meets the eye
75
We're on our way somewhere up in the sky
76
And it's so big that even when we die
77
We're gonna be a dynasty, we gotta be a dyntasy
