Givin' it up to my Chicano Nation
Raise it high and proud
Fly our flag within the Latin Kingdom
Comin off listenin' to Mexican Radio

Grabbed a ride to the Americano
Mountainous and vast
The land of the free
Far from the days of slaughter and slavery

We lost our home to our fathers
Guess you can say we were born from violence
Across the puddle they jumped
To send us over the river

To breed a nation named Chicano since-
A minority within our own Kingdom
Ignored and neglected
Our Tribal Brothers shown the love of missed rights

Its our turn to catch the wrongs
Travel in packs to protect ourselves
Seen as wolves on the prowl
Cause us gangstas for pride in ourselves

A young nation filled with hate and jealousy
We have beautiful daughters and strong sons
Mislead by the society of the land we roam
Mislead by the land we call home

"Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it."

"Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles."

-Confucius
