[Verse 2: Ruby Ibarra]
So what's a freestyle to me? I been doing this as six years old
Thinkin’ on my own two feet, survival pick and go
Pick a role, you can be the swimmer or a sunken✦ soul
I was a six year old without a father✦ figure✦ role
No silver✦ spoons or dinner✦ rolls, so will you fold or will you go?
Pretend to sing like Figaro,✦ my people still invisible
When you the spittin’✦ image✦ of a person✦ that you hate
Makes✦ sense, I'm spittin'✦ images✦ of dawn that never✦ breaks
Nirvana never✦ waits, I was a pawn of bitter✦ fate
That spawned from inner✦ hate, I never✦ wanted✦ to be great
I study✦ my mother,✦ wonder✦ how she holds this family✦
That minimum✦ salary,✦ stretched as much as it can be
She stressed but keeps that shit from me, I’m just tryna✦ fit in, see
I crave for that acceptance✦ like it validates my sanity✦
I wrestle with affirmations, settle for masking faces✦
After✦ all, the stolen✦ lands are always✦ greener places✦
[Chorus: Ruby Ibarra and Ann One]
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it there someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it there someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it there someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it there someday"✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it here someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it here someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it here someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it here someday"✦
[Verse 3: Ruby Ibarra]
At school, reduced lunches while my mama✦ skip her lunchtime
Nine to five minimum✦ wage, she at the bus line
Here I am, fillin'✦ a page, waitin'✦ to bust rhymes✦
‘Til I’m nearin'✦ the day I’m getting cosigned
Snare rolls and punchlines,✦ to payrolls and punch time
We take shows like crunch time, we braved✦ those like front lines✦
My life on these lines✦ ‘cause we never✦ had lifelines✦
And these days I’m scared✦ of what might go through my mind
I flow like Rizal and I’m writing like Hagedorn
Mixed✦ with Gabriela Silang, now watch as the page mourns
Say my name, it tastes✦ foreign,✦ type to make your face form in ways you never✦ made
Born from another place, thorns couldn’t break away✦
Or am I just a breakaway?✦
From being center✦ stage from off the page, or will I fade away?✦
I never✦ been the type to say I’m scared✦ of what I have to face
Cause all I ever✦ knew is being me, so all I ever✦ need to say is
[Chorus: Ruby Ibarra and Ann One]
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it there someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it there someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it there someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it there someday"✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it here someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it here someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it here someday"✦ (Someday)✦
I said, "Mama,✦ we gon’ make it here someday"✦
