The Mexican Breathes

Aztec in arts

Spanish in conquest

The Mexican breathes

And lives

Taking control

Controlling the taken,

Our blood hot

Like the chile we eat

Don't expect any less

Outside we are strong

Desert cacti

Sharp unforgiving and rough

On the outside

But the inside

Water flows

The love flows

For la raza

Death envies our vidas

So rich and full

Fearless

And feared

Tattoos cover our skin

Like they did

Our ancestors

Soon we will rise

Soon we will unite
