I am Mexican: Brown and forgotten inbetween, Brown like the dirt poor I am. Iv'e been in hard labor: I do what "they" don't want to anymore, I am the backbone of the working class. Iv'e been poor: I see no handouts under the pyramid scheme, I am the Latin prince of the ghetto. Iv'e been a hustler: Every penny earned off my back Makes dollars for "their" pockets. Iv'e been here: I am no ******* I am the American dream, Still I must show identification. I am Mexican: Brown and four generations deep American, I am still The immigrant face.

Mexican Me
I am Mexican: Brown and forgotten inbetween, Brown like the dirt poor I am. Iv'e been in hard labor: I do what "they" don't want to anymore, I am the backbone of the working class. Iv'e been poor: I see no handouts under the pyramid scheme, I am the Latin prince of the ghetto. Iv'e been a hustler: Every penny earned off my back Makes dollars for "their" pockets. Iv'e been here: I am no ******* I am the American dream, Still I must show identification. I am Mexican: Brown and four generations deep American, I am still The immigrant face.
