We grew up together well, my primo got thrown in jail
He’ll be in for a long long time, don’t you lose your mind,
mijo don’t you lose your mind, don’t you lose your mind
We were walkin down a haunted street, and santo said to me
I’m proud of who I am, at least I’m no part of the system
But you’re always part of the system, and now he’s locked down by the system
This ain’t no time for you to fall to pieces, x2
A peewee in search of bread shot Sammy in his head
And now his wife is left at home to cry
Don’t you lose your mind, Mija don’t you lose your mind
Don’t you lose your mind
Instrumental
We all want to be free, it’s the way it ought to be
If we could read between the lines, and don’t you lose your mind
Mijo don’t you lose your mind no, don’t you lose your mind
They came searchin for a better life
Working hard just to survive, until some punk came and threw it away
She regrets the day that she relied on the system
And now she depends on the system.
This aint no time for you to fall to pieces
This aint no time for you to fall to pieces
This aint no time for you to fall to pieces (x4)
No matter how hard it gets you gotta keep going strong (background)
