Tainted
I wonder where my place is But I won’t choose a side So tell me where do I stand They said that we got tainted but fuck you That’s why I’m the way that I am I wonder where my place is But I won’t choose a side So tell me where do I stand They said that we got tainted but fuck you That’s why I’m the way that I am I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I am I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I I’m the way that I, I’m the way that I am I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I am I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I… They told my mom to fuck her own kind Go and find somebody white A white man that’ll love and treat you right A white man that ain’t gonna need a wife Just to make sure his paperwork right They said my father was a fuckin’ spic And the thought of it disgusted them Like how the hell’d you fall in love with him? God forbid y’all gon’ have a couple kids Better hope that god forgive what you done to them SongtexteThey like, “Emilio, where you gonna fit?” High school lunch room, where you gonna sit now? They told my mama if he gonna speak Spanish Better keep his dirty ass up in the crib, right That’s just how it is, right? In a small city full of small minds Growin’ up in an American apartheid And then my mama used to tell me it’ll be alright And then I hear her cryin’ all night like damn I wonder where my place is But I won’t choose a side So tell me where do I stand They said that we got tainted but fuck you That’s why I’m the way that I am I wonder where my place is But I won’t choose a side So tell me where do I stand They said that we got tainted but fuck you That’s why I’m the way that I am I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I am I’m the way that I am, I’m the way that I I’m the way that I, I’m the way that I am… What’s the expectation for Hispanic males? They say we gettin’ women pregnant or stayin’ in jail They told us we supposed to be the plug We supposed to be the kingpin on boats that’s filled with drugs We supposed to be the ones that sellin’ cocaine or sellin’ crack Who got our daughters at the border with orders We been to hell to back Out chasin’ ass, not takin’ care of our fam With aliens up in the crib like it’s American Dad Wanna hoard us up till the border’s shut And exploit our women, use our daughters for they lust And they caught them immigrants, don’t see no laws as just But they wanna pimp us just to save a couple bucks And they keep us workin’ class, less than a minimum wage servicin’ Our women visitin’ surgeons to get the perfect ass They got ‘em thinkin’ that bein’ vixens’ the only path To get somebody to love ‘em or get that Birkin bag I got a letter from a girl who about to graduate She got straight A’s and told me she can’t get financial aid ‘Cause both her parents is illegal They brought her when she was two And she still ain’t got our freedoms But she can join the army and enlist in it So basically she can die for this country but she can’t live in it While we globalizin’ the third world and we cripple it We runnin’ round like we the victims, the shit is sickenin’ Aus Songtexte Mania
