Middle Class Homeboy telling the world “A” straight from the gate… I wasn’t born in a war zone or some rich estate.
A proud Chicano, American, but an individual at First, I choose my actions, and selections my way to voice…
Unlike some Gente’ in the barrios where they had no choice.
I didn’t have a silver spoon but my mother and father did provide the best they could…
for they struggled and “came up” and erected from their hood.
I’ve been around the block a couple times and I realize this to be no myth…
On the streets of any society, you must handle your business, or get Dealt with.
Our Raza fights one another for survival, territory, honor, and straight up stupid ass shit man…
How does the offspring of a deep rich culture separates itself on a place once called: Atzlan.
Does the Euro American / society wants us to continue our inner racial conflict, or is it in our mind…
When will the day come when all walks of life are color blind?
But, not all mi Raza fights one another…
we’ve come up and achieved, not reinforcing the ignorance to our sister and brother.
I’am never ashamed, and I proclaim my Chicano/Mexicano/American ethnicity…
I’m deeply proud of our rich, honorable, culture my brown brothers & sisters have passed down to me.
I collect, respect, connect, detect and void stereotype…
and holler to my peops, my folks, don’t believe the hype.
My views and actions sometimes alienate me from the popular circle…
That’s cool A, I just try to stay disciplined to my program, to move forward and jump all obstacles I must hurl.
From the “Womb to the Tomb” you may not understand or see…
Its a bond, brotherhood, strength, and badass perspective that all can bring.
It’s a right to claim and create your own history…Individual’s commonality breeds survival, passion, and next moves to see.
Moving forward, never leaving your folks behind…Its creating a different path and added knowledge for peace of mind.
Through Self-Determination, Political Empowerment, Organization, Our Raza …”People of All Walks” will be recognized…
Now our vote counts as a positive motion that will no longer be ignored or compromised.
So there it is “Foo”, only one perspective point of view, opinion that you have the choice to accept or ban…
for these are only observations and “Thoughts from a littleMAN”
A product of assimilation to a melting pot, in between poverty and having stuff and toys…placed in a stratification we may call:
Middle Class Homeboys.
