Let me tell you about my story
How I came from dirt to glory
How I went against the odds
when the world is weighing on me
When all I had was me
didn't know what I would be
I'm Okinawa's finest with a
Dollar and a dream
Dollar and a dream
Dollar and a dream
I'm Okinawa's finest with a...

I had a dollar and a dream
Only 19 landed in America
All I heard was Ching Ching
Ran through the mud I
Had to learn to love the hard way
Me and the God on highway
We swerving making Stops at
Big Wheeze's trailer
Shit smells like cat piss and
9 lives' worth of tales
Fresh paint on my nails
He made me
Count his dirty dollars for the re-ups
Then go to galleria
We blowing all the shit up
First we were cool
You took me to school
Then the love grew
Then I was your earth
You planted your seed
A flower would bloom
Peace earth you smiled and you
Passed me your Blicky
I rode solo to county and clinics
I see you at the visits
Baby bump on the plexiglass
MoneyGram to the commissary
Lonely nights get kind of scary
And I told that PO that
baby needs their daddy back
“He will change for the better”
knowing that's a lie, I will testify

I've been putting on for mine
Every step I take
Been through many highs and lows
But I will never break
Heart of a lion
This love won't fade away
Keep on chasing brighter days
Don't know what's ahead of me
But staying 10 toes down
Ready for the rain
Heart of a lion
This love won't fade away
Keep on chasing brighter days

I put my family over dollar
Traded the benz for the toyota
Shit got too hot
We had to pack and move out of Georgia
W.I.C. for my daughter
Time's getting hard
And I caught your ass cheating
Got me fighting in the yard
I be the crazy asian bitch in the fam
Your mama knows
Cuzn had to full nelson me
Put me back inside the door
I cried and cried
But I still forgave you after all
You the only one I loved through it all
And I hated that the world
Was always trying to put you down
Shooting at us like
paw paw paw paw paw paw paw paw paw
Bullets through the fucking window
Promise not to leave me a young widow
Even through all these bullshits
You always was my hero
You can't leave us
When you know we need your fire
You said you love me to death
Then you gotta live, you liar
Toyomi asked me when her
Daddy coming back
And I gotta tell her the truth
Cause you always told me that

I've been putting on for mine
Every step I take
Been through many high and low
But I never break
Heart of a lion
This love won't fade away
Keep on chasing brighter...

Remember？
All the letters you wrote me
You told me
To keep writing I gotta tell the
Whole world my story
You always was my biggest fan
I dedicate my pen
And I promised my daughter
I'll be the biggest in Japan

I've been putting on for mine
Every step I take
Been through many high and low
But I never break
Heart of a lion
This love won't fade away
Keep on chasing brighter days
Don't know what's ahead of me
But staying 10 toes down
Ready for the rain
Heart of a lion
This love won't fade away
Keep on chasing brighter days

I'm Okinawa's finest with a
Dollar and a dream
Dollar and a dream
Dollar and a dream
I'm Okinawa's finest with a...
