Bambu - Check In lyrics

Alright folks let's try to
Get this meeting started, on time for
Once we gotta lot of stuff
To cover on the agenda, so let's
Start off with check in as usual
And I'm gonna start with the
Brotha' to the left of me
'cause, unlike most of y'all
He's an actual worker and he's
Gotta get to work

Peace
My name is Bambu de Pistola taga Los Angeles
Nice to see a few new
Faces welcome to our place it's our space
We welcome you all with not a drop of hate
But, you will share the same respect or
I am down to catch your case
Since we been last together I've
Been on my same
Went back and reread some books I
Already read with an older frame
But honest, I been rappin', doin' shows
And buildin' songs
And carryin' on and bein' broke
As all of y'all
And all of y'all been holdin' it
Down livin' day to day
On a barely livable wage I just wanna
Acknowledge y'all before I move on (Bam)
Anyways, my son about to be in first grade
And I'm adjustin' to the role to
Balance home and bein' away
And bein' a straight up militant
-"Fuck that pig say?"
But bein' the same out in the street
And inside the home must change
So I've been good just bein' a
Dad who rap on the weekend
Happy to be here with all of my comrades

They call me Bambu de
Pistola outta killa' California
And the Philippines is where my fam from
And I ain't come to bother nobody
Or fuck up somebody's party
But don't test me the scrap is in my blood
I said they call me Bambu
De Pistola outta killa' California
The Philippines is where my fam from
And I ain't come to bother nobody
But fuck the Tea Party
For the people -that is running in my blood

Tahimik ako lang ang puedeng mag ingay
Teka sa gitna na nang
Procession inside the ride
Palestine on my mind egypt still on my mind
Religion keep us in line
Credit keep us confined
It's the blind leadin' the blind
While I'm focused on the crimes
Committed by capitalist pigs who don't fly
Try, do little math work
And hands build business
Without a workin' hand no money's collected
So common sense say you should make
Sure all your workers doin' right
Livin' a healthy life so
Production values high
But Detroit don't see it
The south side of Chicago don't see it
Oakland, California don't see it
Pittsburgh, Philly, CincinnatI don't see it
Atlanta don't see it kalihI don't see it
All across the city of Los Angeles
We need it yo, I hang with brothers from the
Other side of where you feel
Safe And the sisters that we came
With carry seven inch blades
We are sharp, we are focused
We are all pro people
We are not looking for handouts
We are not illegal we are not illegal

Alright, great check in
Wanna congratulate everybody for gettin'
Through that check in under two hours, uh
To the newcomers I promise we'll try
To do better but nevertheless I
Would like to extend to you all
A warm and militant welcome
