Lil Sham - Heritage Lyrics
Official




My heritage, deep in my veins
Blood of a king, lot different than most
I come from from a long line of hustlers
We dig from the dirt, no need to boast
My heritage taught me to fight, they moving up ranks while they busting their back
My heritage made me a wolf
I'm ready for battle as I lead my pack
My grandpas both came from the rough, nothing was given you had to be tough
Just deal with your cards, man no need to bluff
Two shots to the dome, oh you think you're tuff now?
Cops running in and they taking kids now
Life of an immigrant isn't a breeze
That's why they struggle so we get degrees
Ask God to forgive me while I'm on my knees
I'm feeling guilty, I just want answers
Tell me why fathers are locked up in cages
Kept from their kids and treated like criminals
Came to this country for better wages
This is injustice and that is subliminal
Sad to see people are lackadaisical
Kids losing fathers in front of our faces
It's time for a change, I'll suit up my laces
Might run for senator if I'm feeling crazy
Or start my own label just like I'm Jay Z
This is our moment no time to get lazy
Many are sleeping it's time to give props
Appreciate the people who pick up our crops
They work through pandemics and don't get a break
Can't get a day off with so much at stake
Talking bout pressure, but what's a mistake
Do all you can and then leave it to fate
They beating the heart of a whole other state
Yet still are belittled and treated with hate
We still got time, it's never too late
Campesino mentality, we gotta be great
My heritage, deep in my veins
Blood of a king, lot different than most
I come from from a long line of hustlers
We dig from the dirt, no need to boast
My heritage taught me to fight, they moving up ranks while they busting their back
My heritage made me a wolf
I'm ready for battle as I lead my pack
My head held high because I'm proud of my roots
My heritage, it gave a boost
Gave me a boost to the top
Unfair that we running from cops
Now this is America, no sounds of surprise
They go on the news and spread it with lies
Truth is that evil is in different forms
The rich can get richer, bro it's the norm
History repeats itself, that's how it goes
Trump signing bills, now call it Jim Crows
When stuff hits the fan, we still got each other
I trust my neighbor, just like my brother
Our heritage taught us the power of unity
We always on top, as we got community
And I take that over money any day
We stick together, our problems gonna fade away
My heritage taught me that when there's a will there's away
We need to find that way
My heritage, my heritage, my heritage
It taught me to hustle
My heritage, my heritage, my heritage
It taught me to fight
My heritage, my heritage, my heritage
It taught me to live
