This Land is My Land

everybody's on something
redneck assholes acting like they're the victim
bitches don't know about struggle
yet talk about it like it's cool
ever been hated just cuz?
my skin is dark
go ahead and stop reading now
the ones that think I don't have a voice
cops know it was the brown man
the one who stole the box of gum
the one who is selling drugs
I just shrug it off
nah, I'm just here to fuck white ladies

so much shit talk
makes me want to sail away
find an island alone
with just me and a bunch of pretty girls
fuck the whole world away

I have a frozen heart
it got cold from being let down
so many times
in so many ways
you see
no one cares for just another Mexican
go ahead
put those stereotypes on me
laugh like it's fucking funny
what's funny is the disgrace that is said
history has learned nothing
white supremacists just learned to hide
waiting for a leader to justify them
oh, wait...

so much shit talk
makes me want to sail away
find an island alone
with just me and a bunch of pretty girls
fuck the whole world away

my Chicanos and Chicanas
are fucking beautiful
no, I don't know Spanish
but I know that much
nothing's here to be ashamed of
yet I still get racist fuckers trying
lazy, boring, unattractive mofos
wanting to tell me where I belong
I say get used to the color of my skin
because the only thing that will be leaving
is that ignorent ass of yours
