Dreams of An Unwanted Foreigner
People say we are no good
We have dreams of being criminals,
Getting pregnant at fifthteen,
Selling and doing drugs,
Being gang bangers,
Rapists,
Stealing jobs,
Dropouts,
Low education,
And being poor
But are they right?
Everywhere we go , all we hear is a lie
Is everything in our heads?
Is it all a dream?
We just wish it was, but it's not
They called us a wetback
No, wait that's not all
Hey, you walking thing, is what we hear
You don't belong here!
You don't have dreams!
We have dreams!
Dreams to become someone
Someone better than what our parents have done for us
We'll prove you wrong
We'll run and follow our dreams
You don't know who we are!
Just wait and see
