[Intro]
Yeah
Miguel Peralta
Say the name right
Run it back
[Verse 1]
I was scribblin' on the desk in the back row
Now my name on they lips when the bag grow
Peralta on the tag, that's a barcode
Scan it, all authentic, never half-soul
Mom said, "Mijo, keep your circle tight"
Cousins in the kitchen talkin' wrongs and rights
I was tryna turn the hunger into stage lights
Turn the pressure into diamonds on a late night
[Chorus]
Miguel Peralta, say my name like a mantra (Peralta)
Came from the side where they dodge every camera
Now we in the front, every door, I'ma crash that
Peralta, Peralta, they chant that, they chant that
Miguel Peralta, put respect on the handle (on the handle)
Turned every L to a flame from a candle
Now we too lit, can't cancel the plan
Peralta, Peralta, they know who I am
[Verse 2]
I remember hand-me-downs, not designer tags
Now it's tailored on the torso, still remember rags
Same block, different route, I was runnin' laps
While they ran from sirens, I was runnin' from the trap
I don't flex for a timeline
I invest in my lifeline
Put my family on the prime time
Turn a dark past to a bright sign
[low vocal register] "Peralta"
That's the name that my abuelo gave
I carry every syllable like a sacred weight
Put my pain in the pen, now I pave the way
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Say "Mi-guel"
Crowd split, both sides yell
Say "Pe-ral-ta"
From the front row back to the stairwell
Hands up, hands up, feel that
Heart beat drum when the bass slap
Name on the wall where the greats at
Peralta, Peralta, let it stay that
[Chorus]
