Bonafide

Where did we ever go wrong?
 Leaving our houses bombed
 Lleeing destruction, some of our closests gone
 Little baby crying in his dead mother's arms
 And they just keep dropping them bombs
 Knowing no mercy, war to please the bloodthirsty
 War to feed the money-hungry
 What was in it for us? Poverty, tears, insanity
 Split families, some of us losing their whole families
 Cold isn't it? Sometimes when I think about it
 the whole world's unsafe, can't nobody doubt it
 Hurricanes, floods and earthquakes
 Poor people escaping, facing tragic fates
 Starvation in many nations, sad faces
 So many children left out with no basis
 Forsaken selling crack, surviving the streets
 Everyday on a mission to get something to eat
 Real shunos don't die (death before dishonor)
 Real shunos don't die (warriors 'til the end)
 Real shunos don't die (up-and-coming at all times)
 No holds barred in life, shuno we're bonafide
 Real shunos don't die (no fear, stay bold)
 Real shunos don't die (clear minds, clear goals)
 Real shunos don't die (up-and-coming at all times)
 No holds barred in life, shuno we're bonafide
 The world's crazy, tragedy upon tragedy
 Little kids raped and given HIV
 Elderly robbed even beaten to the ground
 The streets ain't safe, watch your back when you come around
 Some shunos have no feelings, they carry guns
 Dealing with drugs, running the streets, killing for fun
 But of course, that boy never had any parents
 12 years old on his own, shooting is his talent
 Racism won't stop, still they're going strong
 Gang wars, deep hate involved
 Honor killing is wrong, recognize a woman's worth
 Only a woman can bring a man to his birth
 Terrorism and genocides, innocent lives
 I swear somebody's getting richer soon as we die
 They know how to build weapons for trade
 But never find the right cure for AIDS (it's a shame yo)
 Real shunos don't die (death before dishonor)
 Real shunos don't die (warriors 'til the end)
 Real shunos don't die (up-and-coming at all times)
 No holds barred in life, shuno we're bonafide
 Real shunos don't die (no fear, stay bold)
 Real shunos don't die (clear minds, clear goals)
 Real shunos don't die (up-and-coming at all times)
 No holds barred in life, shuno we're bonafide
 All the years that i tried all the tears that i cried The pain i bore inside now it.s time for me to rise
 Coming to another land and you're trying to make it
 Fresh off the boat, no money no family
 You're thinking: I'm a man, I'ma do what i can in this land
 Ibeen through worse, living to stand, i'm laying plans
 Mama raised no fool
 Even though she had no money to put me in school
 She did her best to get me through
 I'm forever thankful, how you never withdrew
 Times were killing you, but you stayed strong, we grew
 Alone now, i must find me a way to adapt
 Find me job, make a living, send my family Some cash back home
 Cause i'm my family's last hope
 And i'm here to break the cycle of times of being broke
 So i'm trying, never loosing my focus
 Even if it means i have to mop and clean them toilets
 Times will change and things gon. get easier
 It's all about having faith dawg, i'm telling ya
 Real shunos don't die (death before dishonor)
 Real shunos don't die (warriors 'til the end)
 Real shunos don't die (up-and-coming at all times)
 No holds barred in life, shuno we're bonafide
 Real shunos don't die (no fear, stay bold)
 Real shunos don't die (clear minds, clear goals)
 Real shunos don't die (up-and-coming at all times)
 No holds barred in life, shuno we're bonafide
