Mexican American

People discriminate me by my color!
They lay eyes on me nd notice what i am!
Right away they assume i will be nothin of my self.
Sure enough i will take a stand
And prove to all of my haters that thought i would fail....
That My potential is no different then that of an american born;
and raised by an all white familia!
For those of you who dont know...
Familia means family!
You see i was born hablando español!
But then again llo se hablar ingles as much as anyone else!
It was a gift!
Given to me by my parents 
Who sacrificed themselves in order to give me...
And my hermanas 
A better life then la que tuvieron ellos!
Being raised here allowed me to become a bilingual
Giving me even a better advantage to become succesful!
But allow me to remind you...
That even tho i was raised and born in the U.S
No me olvidare de donde vengo!
Vengo from a country full of culture!
Chihuahua, mexico!
A place que me llevare pa siempre en mi corazon!
So next time you judge me por mi color...
Realize que llo tengo just the same amount...
Maybe even more...
Potential in being succesful as you!
