lyrics

Every single breath that I've taken has created me.
Endless thank yous to the women who raised me.
Try to keep my head cool though life keeps burning me.
Sorry that i never learned how to respect authority, forgive me.
Mother I swear that I'm a grown man.
You taught me how to walk holding my pinky in your hand.
30 years later,
bearded,
ready for whatever.
They can hold me down for now but this won't last forever.
Promise I'll be back and better.
Fallen 40 stories only bled.
Been trampled down and beaten, left for dead.
Gambled and i lost.
Gambled and i won.
Don't think that i would ever take those bets back, none.
From the bottom of my heart I believe in what we're doing
and don't care if it's unattainable I'll still pursue it.
Oh my god I'm sorry for the sins that I was born with,
but a life without a single sin is simply boring.
Forgive me.

Any minute now all could be gone
but i know together we're strong.
Any minute now all could be gone.
Stay strong.
Stay strong.

Adolescent rage still swimming through my veins.
Knew this world was unfair at an early age.
Mother, I know they never paid you a proper wage
so thank you doubly for every sacrifice you made.

If we reach the end of days or i ever lose my way,
i'll follow crumbs back to you and will never stray.

Loved ones found.
Loved ones lost.
Just know that I will never forget any of them, none.

They can lock me up for now but the seeds were still sown,
and when i make it out I know that they'll be fully grown.

Never gave a shit about a boss or president.
If we want some real change we need to make it with our friends.

Back when I was 10, sang "fuck the police".
20 years later - know exactly what that means.

They made it a sin to believe in equality.
Called it criminal to fight in solidarity.
To stop me they're gonna have to bury me.

Any minute now all could be gone,
but i know together we're strong.
Any minute now all could be gone,
but together we'll still be strong


Barely fucking breathing - I'ma keep fists swinging.
Thank you Mother for teaching us to embrace our differences.
Taught me to believe that everyone is worth the same.
"They'll never take us out!"
i'll scream it till I hit the grave.
I could give a fuck about another ephemeral trend.
I'll never waste a single word trying to please them.
One minute we're here,
next minute we're dead.
It's all about how we will be remembered in the end.
The end.


Any minute now all could be gone,
but I know together we're strong.
Any minute now all could be gone,
but together we'll still be strong.

Ceschi New Haven, Connecticut

Ceschi (pronounced chess-key) Ramos makes his own version of progressive hip hop spliced with elements of folk & indie rock. Although he has almost "mathy" technical rap abilities he's first and foremost a singer-songwriter at heart. Although one Ceschi song may consist of punk influenced machine gun fast raps, the next may be a quiet folk ballad played on acoustic guitar. ... more
