Mexican Power

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Frank V.] Mexican Power! That's the name of this cut, man You got somethin' with that? Hit the stop; eject button Cause I ain't shutting up for no one, not a single soul Remember me, the loco cholo going solo Well I'm back with a new rap, they showed us and thought that All we can do is dance around a motherfucking hat But you are dead wrong, those days are long gone 'Cause my people are coming up and we're coming up strong And if you don't believe me fool, well that's on you But don't come crying saying I didn't warn you Cause it's dead on your face, the power of my race Expressed through the microphone as Ernie G drops bass Critics in the place might disgrace and say my song is rough But I say we've been kept down long enough So if I seem bitter, consider the situation son Maybe the blind could visualize where I'm coming from Cause I'm not getting dumb or getting educated lessons Of the underrated (power!) that my people are possessing And plus Chicanos stood proud since Ave. street Although it wasn't brought up in your class of history So listen to me cause now it's my hour And the lesson I'm kicking is called Mexican Power [Hook: Frank V.] And I'm very proud of that Mexican Power! And I'm very proud of that [Verse 2: Frank V.] So due to your blue eyed teacher, I got to tell you And shed some light on my race where he failed to So I'm gonna kick it to you and you must learn But it's a Mexican thing and it's Frank V.'s turn To pick up the mic and try to unite my people Hermanos y Hermanas damn straight we're equal What, you don't think so, well think what you want to think But sleep with your eyes open, watch your back, and don't blink Cause I'll sneak attack you and jack you Everything you said about us, I'm saying back to you And more of it when the push comes to shoving Wouldn't be a pretty sight... But I'm not starting a fight, you know I'd rather unite With the ones around us who respect the brown Well fuck all the other motherfuckers who try to down us Or who think they can clown us But I'll just frown and instead I won't cry singing Tears of a Clown Cause I ain't staying down for another day Cause me and my people ain't going out that way I'm gonna stand up tall and proud and never coward But I'm not superman, it's called Mexican Power [Hook: Frank V.] And I'm very proud of that It's called Mexican Power And I'm very proud of that Mexican Power watching the facility Yeah Mexican Power watching the facility Yeah [Verse 3: Frank V.] So if you're a crumb bum or a rich man Beware of the power and don't you ever try to raise a hand Or a fist to diss this Hispanic Cuz just like a bandit, I'll leave you empty handed And all you get return for that antic Is proof that Mexican Power is la gang So here is this hispanic, fear the brown planet And if you can't stand it Don't ever take my rhyme for granted Cause I'll reprogram it and go spanish The rest of the public, they won't understand this Then they'll try to blame this single So I just stick to bilingual cause I am the bilingual That's doing this to mi carnalas and carnales Watching my back is DJ Ernie Gonzalez So if you want to be on this, I'll say ponle Que Viva la Raza, I'll shake your hand and say oralé Cause if you're down for your race, then your down with me And that right there holmes is how it should be I know it could be better but it could be worse Pride is the first step, first things first Cause once we possess our calles on where we stand We'll talk about unity among other Mexicans But that's down the line, I know it's gonna take time And if it ain't now, well next rythme And there'll be another rhyme with no doubt Cause I'm here to uplift, not to show out or go out But blow out the brains of the lames and check the minds Of those insinuating being brown is a crime And if that's true, I guess I'm a criminal Cause I'm brown to the maximum, never the minimal So remember whenever I pick up a pen Don't underestimate the power of a Mexican Mexican Power! [Ending Hook: Frank V.] And I'm very proud of that Mexican Power And I'm very proud of that That's right, Mexican Power And I'm very proud of that It's called Mexican Power I'm very proud of that And I'm very proud of that Mexican Power I'm very proud of that Mexican Power I'm very proud of that It's called Mexican Power I'm very proud of that Mexican Power And I'm very proud of that Very proud of that It's called Mexican power And I'm very proud of that Mexican Power And I'm very proud of that Mexican Power And I'm very proud of that Mexican Power And I'm very proud of that
