808 kick

Yeah...
Look.
They hear the sirens, they think we scared.
They see the colors, they just see chaos.
They don't see the structure.
They don't see the rock.
They don't see me.
Mike.

The blue and red lights paint the avenue, a familiar scene
They think this is a problem, I think this is a machine
Well-oiled, the pressure makes the diamonds, you just see the gleam
Mike Bairon's the name, this is my bloodstream
They kick down doors, they think they found a crack
But every single soldier knows there's no turning back
We stand like bricks in the wall, they can't knock down
You send your whole damn force through, we hold our ground
This ain't just a gang, nah, this is a foundation
Built on loyalty and brutal dedication
They want a war? They got one, a new creation
This ain't a breakdown, man, this is my motivation.

Pressure?
You think I don't know pressure?
It's the air I breathe, it's the only lesson I let myself treasure.
They wanna see me fold, huh? Wanna see the fracture?
But all they did was show me my own stature.

'Cause we are the rocks in the river, the unbreakable stones!
When the current of the LSPD hits, we just hold our bones!
From the Ghetto's heart, where the loyalty's shown!

Families bleedin' green on the same concrete town.
Their petty squabbles? Just noise, a distracting sound.
While the real enemy's right there, makin' another round.
So I built a bridge, not of wood, but of pure force of will.
Told 'em, "Look at the badge, that's the only one to kill."
Our aim is the same, our trigger fingers itch the same way.
The Ghetto is united, and it's here to stay.
They thought they were breakin' us apart, playin' us like pieces
They didn't see they were forgin' an alliance that increases
Now when their cruisers roll in, it's not one color they meet
It's a wall of us, standin' firm on our own street.

Pressure?
You created this pressure!
Forged in your raids, it's the only lesson you let me treasure!
You wanted to see us fold, huh? Wanted the fracture!
But all you did was show us our collective stature!

'Cause we are the rocks in the river, the unbreakable stones!
When the current of the LSPD hits, we just hold our bones!
From the Ghetto's heart, where the loyalty's shown!
You can't wash us away, you're fighting the tide alone!
(Marabunta! Ghetto!)
For every hit we take, we just s
