[Hook]
I believed in you
That time you looked me in the eyes and told me my dreams would come true
I was a fool
[Verse 1]
All I ever wanted was a Chevy El Camino
I became an alcoholic, unemployed, it crushed my ego
Had a good job, but the sent it overseas, so
To make ends meet I did a lot of things, some illegal
Rolling in a [?]
Really it's a Honda, man
I'm riding out to Chino
Gotta get my cousin something
Anything he needs, so
He can pay his mama's mortgage
And feed all his people
f** the world
[?]
I got a friend that had PTSD in the seventh grade
He said he got molested when he went to CYA
By eleventh grade
He was catching every [?]
The cops broke his collar bone, rib cage, pepper sprayed him
I never said that he was right
I never said that we was wrong
I always laughed when Rodney King said
"Can't we all get along?"
I don't want to kick it
I don't want to protest and picket
I've seen more change when the city in flames
'Ya dig it?
Black Lives Matter's just a popular phrase
All Lives Matter's what I'm not gon' say
Blue Lives Matter's if a cop was a race
But no lives matter, shoot a cop in the face
A n***a and a cracker
And a 'spic and a kike
And a chink and a f*ggot
And a tranny and a dyke
Because people are people
We ain't sh** and created equal
I never got my mother f**ing Chevy El Camino
[Hook]
I believed in you
That time you looked me in the eyes and told me my dreams would come true
I was a fool
[Verse 2]
I'm from the City of the Angels
I wrestled with my demons
I make deals with devils
I traded in my hopes, my dreams
My feathers, my halo
For a piece of precious metal
So don't ask me if I'm [?]
All I ever wanted was a Chevy El Camino
But I bought a white Bronco
Because OJ was my hero
I wanted Dream Team like Johnnie Cochrane and Rob Shapiro
'Cuz in this world people judge you before they meet you
It's the twenty-teens mate
And this is my opinion
I state it like a fact, as if there's a difference
Macklemore made a long-a** song about White Priviledge, oh I get it
White Priviledge is when people listen to your opinions for, like, nine minutes
I'm from the side of the city where most of the crime in it
They built concrete boxes
[?] to do time in it
In due time, or not
You'll never know where you'll be, bro
I know I never got my Chevy El Camino
[Hook]
I believed in you
That time you looked me in the eyes and told me my dreams would come true
I was a fool
I believed in you
That time you looked me in the eyes and told me my dreams would come true
