Alex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta get to the top
Gotta watch out for the drop
Living life just a lil' bit reckless
But I ain't trynna get arrested
I don't need therapy cause I already analyze all my lessons
You could laugh all you want
Therapeutic with a flow
Aye
This shit make me go
California born, South Bay raised me, influence from the Sco
Roots coming straight from Mexico
'Case you didn't know
Still trynna be as rich as Amado Carrillo ho
25 Billy
People think I'm silly
Stacking up, trynna own my city
So you know I'm busy
Gettin my first milly
Eating real good, but I'll prolly stay skinny
I'm determined to go
It's my time to blow
Push away all the people who believed in saying no to me
You'll never see
The things I see
Until I show
You all my dreams
Prolly late by then, shit
Siempre ando al cien bitch
Never worried about beezy
I make shit look easy
Cause I go and get it
Get it
Este vato's here to stay
Write and sing everyday
I'm more mysterious than Rey
Doing everything my way
Got the heat from the streets
Always find a way to eat
I don't cheat
Show how I'll defeat
Everyone by playing a fair game
And then repeat
I'm the one and only king
Not looking for a queen
I'm happy this way
Catch me in a plane
While I muthafuckin' sing
No engagement ring
Sacrifice myself
Before giving up my dreams
Than let someone else kill my self esteem
Always on beat
Corazon like steel, I was built like a death machine
Eating nopales in this jale
So you know I'm the one and only bean
Mexican with the flow
It's my time go
Make way for this wey
From the bay
I'll continue to strive
Child of the light
Coastin' while I'm ridin'
This wave

Ive seen alot of synth wave movies with songs, but this one works so well.
Constantine isnt just your basic monster hunting film, it's a full depth into the Religions dark sides and bringing out some deeper sides of things, and this beat just adds more depth to each scene passing
Genesis Fox
God this track and edit. Fucking spectacular. I can't describe the satisfaction I get from seeing John travel into hell while the song begins to climax. UNF.
