They tell me you are unwelcomed. For I have seen you , Walk with your future In cuffs. And their government speaks of YOU having Blood on your hands And drugs in your pockets. When in reality all I see is white on my screen.
They tell me you are the reason why Americans have no jobs And that even though this country runs on immigrant labor, They rather you leave the country of the BRAVE! and land of the FREE!
For they Coward and Fear what Their Precious Nation Might become because of YOU. Because the damage that they have already done is blinded by their blood shed eyes and YOU, The only target in sight.
I! I am the Killer the Drug Dealer The Brave the Hopeful, Of the land you call free, I, Proud to be Hispanic, American, Human Civilized.
I will not stand for Ignorance, Unreal Fear, Disillusionment. I! Stand for my future and my children’s future, and to contribute to this Country! For this is my HOME too. After all, who made you yard of the month?
