167 - Emilio Rojas

167th, 167th, 167th, 167th, uptown, uptown

167th, 167th, 167th, 167th, uptown, uptown

Now we got Spanish women, we, we got anything you need

We got Spanish women, we, we got anything you need

And I live on the block where all the haze is, ah, okay, okay

Everybody out there tryna make it, ah, okay, okay

We don’t wanna live paycheck to paycheck, ah, okay, okay

Everybody struggling to pay rent, ah, okay, okay

Abuela heard them sirens on the block again

Went from watching her novelas to just watching them

Uptown where them coppers always stop and frisk

They don’t need no probable cause and still, they lock the kid

Now they get paid by the bodega, them coppers always raiding

They lock my homie up for a fucking blunt and some papers

They put him in the cell where they took his belt and his laces

He juggling them cases, the judge is a fucking racist

Them prisons is just some businesses, they about making profit

We been living in the system so long, we victims of the process

In the middle of the strip where them pitchers is on the corner watching

For any suspicious vehicle that be driving on…

Abuela heard them sirens on the block again

Went from watching her novelas to just watching them

Uptown where them coppers always stop and frisk

They don’t need no probable cause and still, they lock the kid

Nah, we be where the fiends is, down the street from the precinct

And I never get on my knees shit, I stand when I talk to Jesus

Bitches be looking good, if you smoke ‘em up, you can beat it

Feeding the fucking block, when they cooking, everybody eating

Uh, when they get a little money, they send it back to the island

Laundering it with Laundromats that they bought just to wash it

But a barbershop that got no barber inside it, we living to the limit

And we love it, we passing by on…
