Emilio Rojas - Give the World To You lyrics

rate me

Know there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

Like the air that I breathe you’re all that I need

Yeah my mother was right

My father a ...

My grandparents on my mama side

Both of them is racist as shit

And my father fathered homey

On the day that we met

It was 18, ten years

Since my father had dipped

I ask him how he didn’t send

My mama cash to help out

When I was telling all my neighbors

I’m the man of the house

And I was running round the hood

And handling ass whippings out

Cause I was young

I had to handle myself

I used to stand by myself all alone

In the city where so many grew up at

But not a lot of people are grown

If they ain’t beliving that home

And I’d be leaving my home

And I raped the game like

I don’t know the meaning of no

I remember when my teachers

Were treating me like a pile of shit

Said I won’t amount to shit

Then I got a scholarship

They ran their mouths

And said I got the shit cause I’m spic

I thank God that I gotten out of it

Know there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

Like the air that I breathe you’re all that I need

Know there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

I’d take my own life to give the world to you

Now I ain’t wanna go to school

I applied when the application was due

I went a few semesters

And decided I was through

I moved out of my city

To a room without a view

It didn’t even have a window in it

For looking through right

Illegal tenants in that one bedroom

We couldn’t even fit a bed in

The floor was where we slept in

Two was in the living room

And two was in the bedroom

But I ain’t ask for help

I had to prove my independence

My sister stealing food for me then

I was getting desperate

She call and checking up

And acting like it’s just a check-in

But how the hell the devil

Seem to know the way to heaven?

They just give me ultimatums

Homey no one make suggestions

Ain’t no answer to my prayers

I ain’t praying with a question

Critics went from praising me

To hating what I’m penning

I ain’t changing my direction

They’re just changing their perception

Cause everybody saying Imma get it

Know there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

Like the air that I breathe you’re all that I need

Know there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

I’d take my own life to give the world to you

In my city in the summer

There’s a murder a day

That’s why I tell my mother

Imma move her away

Shit I got enough cash

She call the movers today

We put her up inside a beautiful place

I want my sisters around

Want my people and my nieces around

So I can live the high life

And keep my feet on the ground

My memories are made

By what I’m dreaming about

Because I’m so close to reaching it now

Know there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

Like the air that I breathe you’re all that I need

Know there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

I’d take my own life to give the world to you
