I ain’t your pocho
In calle ocho
I ain't got no hubcap to sell
I’m not your waiter
I’m not your busboy
But I got a story to tell
In California
Just let me warn ya
You gringos are the ones that’ll pay
So don’t come down here and blame me for paiyaso
Because I’m way to proud of my race
Hey there Paco
Give me some tacos
And a cerveza to go
Not gonna killa ya
Just want to tell ya
something you should already know
CORO
Because I’m Brown and I’m proud
Soy Moreno
I’m proud to be what I am
Brown and I’m proud
Soy Latino
Oh oh oh oh oh…
Down in the valley
We sweatin’ all the time
Pickin' vegetables for your plate
And even though we feed you
We don’t need you at all
I got my green card in the mail today
You like Tequila
And señoritas
But you don’t like us
So don’t you pretend
You stay away
Until one day Cinco de Mayo
Then you try to act like our friend
Hey mamacita
You’re muy bonita
I’d like to get you out on a date
You might look finer
In my low rider
Than sitting in some phony café.
CORO
I’m Brown and I’m proud
Nothing can keep me down
I’m brown and I’m proud
Nothing can keep me down
Etc…
Oh oh oh oh oh….
I’m not your waiter
I’m not your busboy
And I got no hubcap to sell
I'm not your pocho
In calle ocho
But I got a story to tell
Because I’m Brown and I’m proud
Soy Latino
I’m proud to be what I am
Brown and I’m proud
Soy Moreno
Oh oh oh oh oh…
CORO
Proud to be what I am!
Orale, loco.
