[Chorus – ] La familia... ride for mine, I slide for mine, no lie (no lie) Cross that line, get baptized in fire, no cry (no cry) All my dawgs gon' eat when I grind, that’s time (that's time) I done bled for the code, put my life on the line. Say my name with respect, I’m a king from the gutter (from the gutter) Heart cold but I love deep, bleed for my brothers (for my brothers) If I starve, then we starve — we don't change under pressure La familia forever — we ain't foldin’ for nothin’ [Verse 1 – Rapping, Double-Time Kevin Gates Cadence]: Really came up from the basement, dirty clothes, dirty cases Had to pray in my closet with roaches, I ain’t never hate it They ain’t never relate it, pain turned me creative I was sleepin’ on floors, now I’m eatin’ with Haitian Got a cross on my neck, and a Glock in the dresser I forgave all my opps, but I still apply pressure I got brothers in the feds, that won’t get no letters But they name on my heart, we still thuggin’ together Used to hustle for crumbs, now we buyin’ the building How you talk about love, but you move like a villain? I was raised by them wolves, had to learn how to feel Got some wounds that ain’t heal, I just mask it with steel. [Chorus – Stronger Vocals, Harmony Layered]: La familia... ride for mine, I slide for mine, no lie (no lie) Cross that line, get baptized in fire, no cry (no cry) All my dawgs gon' eat when I grind, that’s time (that’s time) I done bled for the code, put my life on the line. Say my name with respect, I’m a king from the gutter (from the gutter) Heart cold but I love deep, bleed for my brothers (for my brothers) If I starve, then we starve — we don't change under pressure La familia forever — we ain't foldin’ for nothin’ [Verse 2 – , Melodic-Then-Rap Flip]: Taught my shorty how to move with a mask and a motive Told my daughter that I’m different, got a past, but I’m chosen I got pain in my chest, but I laugh, I’m focused Lost some friends to the grave, some to court who folded But I still stand ten toes, never ran from no man I’m the one who took chances, made plays with no plan Put my life in them verses, every scar got a purpose La familia my heart, they can’t copy or purchase I got blood on my soul, but I walk with the light Ain’t no fear in my spirit, I talk to God every night If I go today, let ‘em know I died fightin’ For my people, for my name, for my circle, no hidin’. [Chorus – Final with Emotion]: La familia... ride for mine, I slide for mine, no lie (no lie) Cross that line, get baptized in fire, no cry (no cry) All my dawgs gon' eat when I grind, that’s time (that’s time) I done bled for the code, put my life on the line. Say my name with respect, I’m a king from the gutter (from the gutter) Heart cold but I love deep, bleed for my brothers (for my brothers) If I starve, then we starve — we don't change under pressure La familia forever — we ain't foldin’ for nothin’ [Outro – Spoken]: You know what it is. This more than street... it's soul. Loyalty, faith, sacrifice... That’s La Familia.
