Lyrics

[Chorus] Mexicans, won't you hit the- Mexicans, won't you hit the- Mexicans, won't you hit the- Ye-Ye-Yeah! [Verse 1: M.C. Pep] A lot of people try to put us down Just because our skin colours brown But fuck that We don't play that game We just Loc up and start taking heads That's what you see, when our [?] They try to treat us, like were some kinda toys And it's about time that this gets known As we start to speak up on the microphone So I hit the [?], que pasa Society, always , fuckin' with La Raza They say we're only good enough to work in the fields But fuck that ese, let's get real They label us, as a minority group And keeping us there, is what they wanna do But society, needs to open their eyes There's no surprise, that we're on the rise We're brown to the heart and we'll fight 'til we die It's not 'cause we want to, it's just a matter of, pride! [Chorus] Mexicans, won't you hit the- Mexicans, won't you hit the- Mexicans, won't you hit the- Ye-Ye-Yeah! [Verse 2: M.C. Tone] It's a matter of pride To my gente, can you comprehend? To be held back in life, by the colour of skin About the lack of education in the Varrio schools About the gang affiliation, about he thinks he's cool That's not right, it's time for our people to unite And stand strong, and never lose sight See I'm only kickin' facts about the ways, 'til we end Let's put the guns away, stop talkin', and begin To embed ourselves To how we were in the history books We're not slaves to no on, so take a closer look So I have no respect, for the red, white and blue To bow down to a flag when I know it's not true But that's the state of mind which we live This Vato just found out I got a lot to give, to my gente Saying what do you know? I know the brown race, is controlling the show And as I sing these lyrics, putting the others aside You have to understand, it's just a matter of pride [Chorus] Mexicans, won't you hit the- Mexicans, won't you hit the- Mexicans, won't you hit the- Ye-Ye-Yeah! [Verse 3: M.C. Pep] Back again, [?] 'Cause the pride is what just makes us Stay together, and be strong To earn the respect that is yet to come [?] So they start to realise we're not fuckin' joke We're hard and real, and hear to stay Taking out any puto who gets in our way It's a matter of pride, what I'm about It's a matter of pride, what I speak out We have to get our people off the street 'Cause all this bull shit makes no sense to me United! 'Cause I will fight back Backing down for no one, and that's a fact 'Cause for my colour brown, I'm down to die It's not 'cause I want to, it's just a matter of pride [Chorus] Mexicans, won't you hit the- Mexicans, won't you hit the- Mexicans, won't you hit the- Ye-Ye-Yeah! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
