| But you ain’t nothin' but a Spic, you ain’t nothin' but a Spic
|
| You ain’t nothin' but a Spic, but you ain’t nothin' but a Spic
|
| There’s ten of us in that crib, we used to live with my mom and Tia Yolanda
|
| Abuela and Tio Jose, oldest sister and father, even my two cousins
|
| We made a lot out of nada, one family a bedroom in that two bedroom apartment
|
| And you can say that we was strugglin' there but we ain’t ever take no
|
| government checks
|
| They worked a few jobs, now I ain’t judgin', just sayin' stop the assumptions
|
| Our mother would never ever accept the help of another
|
| We crammin' in the back of that Nissan like a clown car
|
| Drummin' on the steering wheel like the Fania All Stars
|
| My mama skippin' meals to feed us, she gettin' flaca
|
| And every Sunday morning, we cleanin' and bumpin' salsa
|
| My people party till ocho en la mañana, a drink and two steps of Corona
|
| And la bachata and still they lookin' at us like we nada
|
| They don’t want us as neighbors, they’d rather us clean they casa
|
| Every mornin' in class, the pledge of allegiance
|
| And teachers treat Latinos like all of us is illegals
|
| My pops a cliché cause he left my mama with three kids
|
| His next wife with two, dipped and ain’t been seen since
|
| Abuelo called from Caracas where he was drunk
|
| He cryin' and say he miss us but he ain’t met with us once
|
| Why they look at our women like unintelligent sluts?
|
| They raise, they cater to us, show affection and love
|
| Proud of my sister, there’s not a lot that can fuck with her
|
| A Venezuelan girl with a scholarship to Columbia
|
| Jealous hoes said it’s to bring minority numbers up
|
| Even though she ten times smarter than all them other smuts
|
| Yeah, I’m loving Latinas, I swear those Summer nuts
|
| They fall in love with you fast after you touch ‘em once
|
| ‘Cause we a culture full of passion, yeah
|
| But still they lookin' at us like we savage
|
| Yeah, in the Heights, they recruitin' for the Marines
|
| We ain’t good enough for papers but we good enough to bleed
|
| Make us turn on each other and some will join the police
|
| But the hustlers do more for my street, they keep the peace, right?
|
| El Malecon for the chicharron, a patacon
|
| Maybe the mangu in the morning, they smashin' platano
|
| We wifin' beautiful women, never the pajarros
|
| Older heads sit on the ave, slammin' the dominoes
|
| El sabado, the baddest chicks all out, they lookin' thick
|
| They got they asses and they tits all out
|
| And then that racist motherfucker screamin' Spic all loud
|
| He be the one that’s in the club, dancing to Pitbull now
|
| That’s why I get all proud when they be reachin'
|
| If you wanna call me a Spic, then I’mma be it
|
| Venezuelano, Dominicano and Puerto Rican
|
| I’m proud of my people, I love y’all my Latinos
|
| But you ain’t nothin' but a Spic |
