[Verse 1: Frank V.]

Mexican Power!

That's the name of this cut, man

You got somethin' with that?

Hit the stop; eject button

Cause I ain't shutting up for no one, not a single soul

Remember me, the loco cholo going solo

Well I'm back with a new rap, they showed us and thought that

All we can do is dance around a motherfucking hat

But you are dead wrong, those days are long gone

'Cause my people are coming up and we're coming up strong

And if you don't believe me fool, well that's on you

But don't come crying saying I didn't warn you

Cause it's dead on your face, the power of my race

Expressed through the microphone as Ernie G drops bass

Critics in the place might disgrace and say my song is rough

But I say we've been kept down long enough

So if I seem bitter, consider the situation son

Maybe the blind could visualize where I'm coming from

Cause I'm not getting dumb or getting educated lessons

Of the underrated (power!) that my people are possessing

And plus Chicanos stood proud since Ave. street

Although it wasn't brought up in your class of history

So listen to me cause now it's my hour

And the lesson I'm kicking is called Mexican Power

[Hook: Frank V.]

And I'm very proud of that

Mexican Power!

And I'm very proud of that

[Verse 2: Frank V.]

So due to your blue eyed teacher, I got to tell you

And shed some light on my race where he failed to

So I'm gonna kick it to you and you must learn

But it's a Mexican thing and it's Frank V.'s turn

To pick up the mic and try to unite my people

Hermanos y Hermanas damn straight we're equal

What, you don't think so, well think what you want to think

But sleep with your eyes open, watch your back, and don't blink

Cause I'll sneak attack you and jack you

Everything you said about us, I'm saying back to you

And more of it when the push comes to shoving

Wouldn't be a pretty sight...

But I'm not starting a fight, you know I'd rather unite

With the ones around us who respect the brown

Well fuck all the other motherfuckers who try to down us

Or who think they can clown us

But I'll just frown and instead I won't cry singing Tears of a Clown

Cause I ain't staying down for another day

Cause me and my people ain't going out that way

I'm gonna stand up tall and proud and never coward

But I'm not superman, it's called Mexican Power

[Hook: Frank V.]

And I'm very proud of that

It's called Mexican Power

And I'm very proud of that

Mexican Power watching the facility

Yeah

Mexican Power watching the facility

Yeah

[Verse 3: Frank V.]

So if you're a crumb bum or a rich man

Beware of the power and don't you ever try to raise a hand

Or a fist to diss this Hispanic

Cuz just like a bandit, I'll leave you empty handed

And all you get return for that antic

Is proof that Mexican Power is la gang

So here is this hispanic, fear the brown planet

And if you can't stand it

Don't ever take my rhyme for granted

Cause I'll reprogram it and go spanish

The rest of the public, they won't understand this

Then they'll try to blame this single

So I just stick to bilingual cause I am the bilingual

That's doing this to mi carnalas and carnales

Watching my back is DJ Ernie Gonzalez

So if you want to be on this, I'll say ponle

Que Viva la Raza, I'll shake your hand and say oralé

Cause if you're down for your race, then your down with me

And that right there holmes is how it should be

I know it could be better but it could be worse

Pride is the first step, first things first

Cause once we possess our calles on where we stand

We'll talk about unity among other Mexicans

But that's down the line, I know it's gonna take time

And if it ain't now, well next rythme

And there'll be another rhyme with no doubt

Cause I'm here to uplift, not to show out or go out

But blow out the brains of the lames and check the minds

Of those insinuating being brown is a crime

And if that's true, I guess I'm a criminal

Cause I'm brown to the maximum, never the minimal

So remember whenever I pick up a pen

Don't underestimate the power of a Mexican

Mexican Power!

[Ending Hook: Frank V.]

And I'm very proud of that

Mexican Power

And I'm very proud of that

That's right, Mexican Power

And I'm very proud of that

It's called Mexican Power

I'm very proud of that

And I'm very proud of that

Mexican Power

I'm very proud of that

Mexican Power

I'm very proud of that

It's called Mexican Power

I'm very proud of that

Mexican Power

And I'm very proud of that

Very proud of that

It's called Mexican power

And I'm very proud of that

Mexican Power

And I'm very proud of that

Mexican Power

And I'm very proud of that

Mexican Power

And I'm very proud of that
