Para la familia Figueroa
Don't touch my hair
Don't challenge my pride
Don't try and guess where my daddy from
Where he came
We ain't the same
Don't try and pronounce my first or last name
You can't handle the syntax,
Accent or general swagger
The third the most vital
This is my revival
This beyond survival, isn't it?
I hear her still reminding me this about lineage
This is about coming home
So much more easy at a younger age
It was safe,
But I feel it being pulled from under my fingertips.
Dad, i'm holding on
Tell Abuela, i'm coming home
And tell her i'm scared to ask for her recipes
I don't want them different from how i'm remembering
I'll always miss you
I still wish you was right here
I always wanted the whole fam more near
I don't want to wait
For another winter
To come again
To come again
I don't want to wait
For another winter
To come again
To come again
Y todos estan bien. Con dios y todo
Ever since abuela passin, the family unraveling
We lost the glue
What's suppose hold us together?
She held us together
Ya'll don't get it
It's beyond possession
I'm only stressing cause i'm losing a home
I danced in the living room
I prayed in the kitchen
I loved in that household,
Even when I fought with the people in it,
So why the fuck you selling it?
I'm all here for change
But what's happening unsettling
I don't want to lose somewhere to go
A place to stay
People pass on, but family maintains
Just when we needed each other the most
We went our separate ways
Why ya'll fighting like there ain't time to fix this?
Ya'll grown, then act grown
The families at risk
Forgive. Forgive. Forgive. Forgive
For our sake
The future is bleak
This is something that my generation needs
Forgive. Forgive. Forgive. Forgive . Forgive
For our sake
The future is bleak
This is something that our generation needs
This is something that we need
I don't want to wait
For another winter
To come again
To come again
I don't want to wait
For another winter
To come again
To come again
And i don't want to
For another winter
To come again
To come again
I don't want to wait
I don't want to wait no more
I don't want to wait
I don't want to wait no more
See, i don't want to
