| I wonder where my place is
|
| But I won’t choose a side
|
| So tell me where do I stand
|
| They said that we got tainted but fuck you
|
| That’s why I’m the way that I am
|
| I wonder where my place is
|
| But I won’t choose a side
|
| So tell me where do I stand
|
| They said that we got tainted but fuck you
|
| That’s why I’m the way that I am
|
| I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I am
|
| I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I
|
| I’m the way that I, I’m the way that I am
|
| I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I am
|
| I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I…
|
| They told my mom to fuck her own kind
|
| Go and find somebody white
|
| A white man that’ll love and treat you right
|
| A white man that ain’t gonna need a wife
|
| Just to make sure his paperwork right
|
| They said my father was a fuckin' spic
|
| And the thought of it disgusted them
|
| Like how the hell’d you fall in love with him?
|
| God forbid y’all gon' have a couple kids
|
| Better hope that god forgive what you done to them
|
| They like, «Emilio, where you gonna fit?»
|
| High school lunch room, where you gonna sit now?
|
| They told my mama if he gonna speak Spanish
|
| Better keep his dirty ass up in the crib, right
|
| That’s just how it is, right?
|
| In a small city full of small minds
|
| Growin' up in an American apartheid
|
| And then my mama used to tell me it’ll be alright
|
| And then I hear her cryin' all night like damn
|
| I wonder where my place is
|
| But I won’t choose a side
|
| So tell me where do I stand
|
| They said that we got tainted but fuck you
|
| That’s why I’m the way that I am
|
| I wonder where my place is
|
| But I won’t choose a side
|
| So tell me where do I stand
|
| They said that we got tainted but fuck you
|
| That’s why I’m the way that I am
|
| I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I am
|
| I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I
|
| I’m the way that I, I’m the way that I am…
|
| What’s the expectation for Hispanic males?
|
| They say we gettin' women pregnant or stayin' in jail
|
| They told us we supposed to be the plug
|
| We supposed to be the kingpin on boats that’s filled with drugs
|
| We supposed to be the ones that sellin' cocaine or sellin' crack
|
| Who got our daughters at the border with orders
|
| We been to hell to back
|
| Out chasin' ass, not takin' care of our fam
|
| With aliens up in the crib like it’s American Dad
|
| Wanna hoard us up till the border’s shut
|
| And exploit our women, use our daughters for they lust
|
| And they caught them immigrants, don’t see no laws as just
|
| But they wanna pimp us just to save a couple bucks
|
| And they keep us workin' class, less than a minimum wage servancin'
|
| Our women visitin' surgeons to get the perfect ass
|
| They got ‘em thinkin' that bein' vixens' the only path
|
| To get somebody to love ‘em or get that Birkin bag
|
| I got a letter from a girl who about to graduate
|
| She got straight A’s and told me she can’t get financial aid
|
| ‘Cause both her parents is illegal
|
| They brought her when she was two
|
| And she still ain’t got our freedoms
|
| But she can join the army and enlist in it
|
| So basically she can die for this country but she can’t live in it
|
| While we globalizin' the third world and we cripple it
|
| We runnin' round like we the victims, the shit is sickenin' |
