Chorus: He had it hard coming up on the streets Lost and alone with no father to teach Looking for love from a family he didn’t have He thought he found what he need from the g’s || It was the day when his whole life changed Now he repped the hood with the neighborhood gang Bald head, white tee, and his cackys creased Around his neck he let the blue rag speak
He was a good boy growing up rough In a neighborhood full of drugs A youngster without no father figure Just little kids with loaded triggers His side of the track full of crack And the blue bandanna was the rag Sureno tryina make a living Where some haters took a shot at these children Leaving a school friend just to die Not from a gang but they’re just walking by Crowded junior high days in pain From an A student skipping out to eighth grade Lost and confused because his friend wore blue So he realized he had to roll with the crew Getting jumped in just changed his path Walking with a blue bandana and some creased up pants
Chorus:
Ditching high school chill in the park Smoking on a flajo looking hard Victim of the ghetto but the kids got anger Blue rag around his neck a young gangbanger Laughing at the naughticles as they pass by Committed the hood full of pride And a blue pano is what he carries daily Never leaves home without it like his 380 Maybe on his way but he’s out late Hanging with the homies everyday Getting paid off cluckers and highs With the blue Nikes doing a slash Sitting at the corner representing to the fullest Blue bandana off his shoulder as he cleans his bullets Off to the next victim on the streets Wear the wrong colors he’s gonna creep
It was to wrong but to him he was living right (living right) In his heart blue rag became his life
1st part of Chorus:
His baby turns five as he’s looking for a job Trying all kinds of work whatever the cost Under the table whatever takes to feed his kids Baby mama’s tweaking and it’s making him sick So he gets his pass to make his new vida Trying to do right because the baby needs him Trying to give him a childhood he never had Changing his ways but never the blue rag Off to his job one early morning Meeting up with the workers while he’s yawning Eating some breakfast with his compas and partners When a call rolls up with five vatos Yelling out to this other kid across the block Talking shit because the kid had a blue top His heart dropped as he dropped his food Pulled out his cuete and started loading for the blue
Chorus:
That’s how it goes down, now the homies doing 25 to life. Know what they say you are what you do, and once you’re in it you’re in it for life. This goes out to all the lil youngsters out there, don’t bite what you can’t chew…and that’s true. Because there aint that many lucky people like me to tell you their stories ese. There’s no turning back
