im Latino proud


I was born

Into this race

I'm Latino Proud

And it shows on my face

When it comes to family

We defend our own kind

Something in others

You'll never find

Sometimes we are bad

And get sent to jail

It's all so sad

When we can't make bail

It's guys like that

Who give our race a bad name

I'm still Latino Proud

And I say it with no shame

We work out in the hot sun

To earn our daily bread

We walk with our heads up

Each and every mile

I'm Latino Proud
