[Verse: Quince]
Back When
Spanish n*gga couldn't get a license
f*ck them
Cause my family feeling like the rights ain't
With them
Chained into the mutha f*cking system
What's next
Immigration want you for commission
Wait up
They ain't cleansing us like spic and span sh*t
Spic and planning just to make a million speaking Spanish
Spanglish cause the English mixing with my accent
Passing through my childhood not acknowledging the facts when
Mom and dad are working like they've never seen their first cent
Irony
Cause they left with only fifty five cents
Pressure builds
Better off just serving up the white bricks
Yayo
Yo gotti
Got it
But I said no thanks b*tch
Uhhh...
I gota vengeance in my practice
Working cause I gota get up out my past tense
No remorse when family members getting packed, sent
Cause the only thing they think is that we nuisance
f*ck em, f*ck em, I just want my life b*tch
God I pray that I can get something accomplished
Cause the government is triple teaming me with
Laws, racism, and the pressure of the taxes
My family on the grind cause that's surviving
No protection when they hitting us with violence
No direction cause came without the guidance
No escape cause now we too deep in the process
Yea…
I know that sh*t is f*cking bullsh*t
But my parents never stopped to say its foolish
All they wanted was just me and bro in college
So we kept ourselves in check cause they deserved it
Bra…
I could've did like all my friends did
Saying whats the point of even graduating
Got no social so I’m socially excluded
I tell you that cartoons had made me fluent
See my teachers thought I couldn’t do it
Thought I couldn’t understand what they was spewing
Treated me like I was a disabled student
b*tch, illegal didn’t mean I’m stupid
Okay…
I know I’m sounding like I’m cuban
Ranting bout the fact the world had put me through it
But I gota tell you bout my early childhood
So you understand theres bad before the good good
No hood, my parents didn’t choose it
Rather work the extra so we couldn’t view it
Never left us home alone cause they refused it
Rather bring us in to work on what they’re doing
Man I always hated that sh*t but
Looking back it meant my parents really loved us
Plus it made me and my brother more like partners
Juan and Luis, was like spanish Starsky and Hutch
But guess what I made it out the slavery
I was free the day I got my green identity
Still a lot kids out there with their families
Living through same struggles I was forced to see
To all my people in this suffering
Keep your head up cause there's hope, don’t stop the hustling
Let me speak on our behalf, convince all those who think
That immigrants can never be Americans...
We can
