- but white america is just a window surrounded with barbed wire
- Glorification of a lifestyle you're not able to obtain.
- blatant erasure from the less worthy environment you're in.
- Qualifications on a checklist that you struggle to fill in.
- Always intend to go the mile but you're tired of running
- to and from you crack a smile for the sake of your kids
- but the smile cracks because you know that they're too young to
- comprehend
- why it's in their best interest to go to a school so far away
- to obtain educational opportunities that just weren't put in their way
- want to take up soccer; what's a net worth to their game?
- constantly prioritizing keeps making it hard to refrain
- from more enticing ways that promise to maybe lessen their pain
- lessons are stained with realizations the end goal's so far away
- someone tell them leave the bleachers, mom and dad their only leaders
- please tell them that you believe in their abilities as winners
- teacher, cheater, pumpkin eater
- preacher, speaker, teaser, you're not free of culpability either
- working 5 to 9, working overtime.
- Only time you see your kids is when you're telling them goodnight.
- so hard to be calm when exposure to the pain cuts like a knife

- save them from the catastrophic.
- Severed relationships several conversations
- where the center of attention is severity of debt we're in
- treat life as cards we're dealt with a mentality of deal with it
- it's not as hard if we believe that we can interfere within
- And they ask why we're angry.
- And they ask why we can't make it.
- but when you look at where we started
- then it's obvious that we've made it.
- we've made it controversial, we've made it universal
- sensation to all of you

- evading the deportations
- live with discrimination
- and poverty within our nation
- resignation clashes with a strong will to survive
- family relations will of course cause our strength to revive
- we're prepared to ride; we've crashed every time we tried to drive
- but hold on to your seat belts kids, restored hope has just arrived

- i'm unstoppable
