[Verse 1 LFRESH The LION] Theres a fire in my chest, man Im feeling it Its alive and it drives me to excel at this So I rise up but when I finally get a bit Im reminded that Im still a second class citizen They tell me to go home but I come from here I can see it their eyes, they dont want me here They tell me to play hard but the game aint fair Given a level playing field Id make it rain out here If we were running a race and you gave me a handicap But turned around and had one of my legs detached Then say you set it up for me the best you could That aint justice when I know Im just as good [PreChorus LFRESH The LION] Weve been waiting but man its a long line And when we ask its always the wrong time They say, this is yours but whats yours is mine But yo, I gotta get mine [Chorus Parvyn] Khali hathi ethe aaiye With empty hands we came here Assan sadhiyan oochiyan Our expectations and dreams were high Dhin raat ik karke keeti assi kamayee Day and night became one as we worked tirelessly Sada Haq koi maar ni sakhda Noone can take away our rights and success [Verse 2 LFRESH The LION] We done come from slums and villages Where when people disappear there aint no witnesses We came up from the dust to manifest riches here So excuse my smile when they try tell me what struggle is Coz we done seen it all when we came here Worked two jobs to feed my seeds and make a name here Never been a slave to the game But to change it you need links to break the chains here I ride overdrive to make a lane here But Im thankful my own kidsll be raised here Theyll build a dynasty with what I made here But till then Ima be stuck with the same deal [Bridge Parvyn] Working all day and night Never giving up the fight You see me fall Back up till I get mine [Chorus Parvyn] [Verse 3 LFRESH The LION] So I tell it how it is, its a pain to be in it Tryna stay sane playing the game that they give us They might ask what we want but they never really listen We will never feel change til we change the system And I tried to be part of it but lost my heart in it Tried to get by without being targeted When we make our own and work our backs off theres no vaseline when the man wants more thats raw I rise in the game with a flame thats raw My backs too strong for the cane thats raw Why do I gotta explain? all we want is a chance to be treated the same thats raw My people never beg on their knees thats raw We will never die for the cheese thats raw We would rather break the trap, Ill never fake the rap till the day that Im gone [PreChorus LFRESH The LION] [Chorus Parvyn] [Bridge Parvyn]
