Tribe Lyrics by TMI

2019

Despite the hate
Despite deception
They break us down
They keep on chasing, but we don't run
We still show love, we still show trust
They keep on chasing, but we don't run

Don’t shoot we don’t die
Everything we do is for the tribe
Trials tribulations they done tried
We don’t just survive, we don’t just survive
We thrive, we thrive
Don’t shoot we don’t die
Everything we do is for the tribe
Trials tribulations they done tried
We don’t just survive, we don’t just survive
We thrive, we thrive yeah

Mi tribu ride or die, on my six, on the dot
A lot a eses on my seis is here to shoot a cop
I swear to God the familia go through a lot
A life is on the line with every line I coup d'etat
Fuck the law, down in Culiacan every narco venerated
It’s where the perished live more comfortable than the mason
It’s where the Chapo reached heights higher than the nation
And gave tunnel vision to a whole generation
Farther south ain’t no option, but to opt in as a hostage
Or run some, ransom is death no matter what the cost is
Cross terrains to reach a nation under God that profits
Of us, type of shit that make me lose my faith in crosses
Alters alter mindset
Sunrise follows sunset
They’ve been hostile, they’ve been angry with my people’s upset
They gon’ continue see us thriving
We Mexica, we be Mayans
They can’t kill us till they Emmett Till us, huh
Imposed religion, tried to call us sinners, huh
Trapped our soul, tried to Bryson Till us, huh
No amount of I.C.E. can completely chill us
We sell dope like it’s candy
Sell pan dulce like it’s dope
Everything we do is for the family
We might sell our soul, pero nunca el corazón

Despite the hate, we still show love
Despite deception, we still show trust
They break us down, we reconstruct
They keep on chasing, but we don't run
Despite the hate, we still show love
Despite deception, we still show trust
They break us down, we reconstruct
They keep on chasing, but we don't run

Don’t shoot we don’t die
Everything we do is for the tribe
Trials tribulations they done tried
We don’t just survive, we don’t just survive
We thrive, we thrive
Don’t shoot we don’t die
Everything we do is for the tribe
Trials tribulations they done tried
We don’t just survive, we don’t just survive
We thrive, we thrive yeah

Selling dough, selling dope, circumstance dependent
Upscale, do-re-mi-fa-soul descendant
Of indigenous tribes, working three nine to five’s
We sell coca, mota, fruta, paletas and pan
I owe everything I got to the ones before me
From pen to penitentiary
Don’t push me to the limit that could change the whole story
That could change the whole story yeah
