La música alternativa es uno de los estilos musicales más populares a nivel internacional. El rock alternativo fue producido como una alternativa a la música a finales de los 80 y principio de los 90. Siendo en esta última década donde alcanza gran aceptación por parte de los amantes de la música, y esto se debió en gran medida a la colaboración de bandas punk de los años 70 y 80. La baja en popularidad del rock alternativo fue debido a la sobresaturación del mercado causado por los ejecutivos de compañías disqueras quienes solo pensaban en ganar plata.

I been drinkin' and smokin' too much, that shit damages
Gimme a lot, I can do it myself, I can manage it
Two xans, I gotta leave, and you know how it is
You and me, we can take on the world, we can be savages
I call my dealer, said: Share the white with all of us (light)
I told him: We've been so nice, don't turn on us (don't turn on us)
Is it funny how the times flies by (flies by) so fast?
If we do all of these lines, we go up
(Oh) and if I look into your eyes, I can realize (oh)
I can realize, oh (I can realize)
Fuck, I meant to just, rap to this (rap to this)
(Ayy) ayy, go hard as shit man
It's definitely goin' down (down)
Find a paigon on the strip, spin him 'round (spin him 'round)
Big man talkin' shit 'til we pin him down (pin him down)
Big man talkin' shit 'til we lick him down (until I lick him down)
Far enough, I'ma spin it 'round
Put the big - in your belly then spin it 'round (spin it 'round)
You ask kembo if I been about
Free him out (free him out), I don't need to get the pictures out
I call my dealer, said: Share the white with all of us
I told him: We've been so nice, don't turn on us (don't turn on us)
Is it funny how the times flies by (flies by) so fast?
If we do all of these lines (these lines), we go up
(Oh) and if I look into your eyes, I can realize (oh)
You know that we can be immortal, immortal
Are you loyal? Yeah (oh, immortal)
I'm just prayin' that she loyal, is she loyal? Yeah
We coil, yeah (is she loyal?)
I don't talk too much, man
Have they got mine?
Cryin' out finally, and a little mercy (oh)
I don't talk too much, man
Came out silent
Came out silent
Came out silent
Came out silent
Oh, it's a beautiful day (is she loyal?)
Oh, it's a beautiful day (is she loyal? Is she loyal?)
Oh, it's a beautiful day (immortal, immortal)
(Oh, it's a beautiful day) I don't talk too much, man
Have they got mine?
Cryin' out finally, and a little mercy
I don't talk too much, man
Came out silent (immortal)
