Es Mio by chato v.
Some things are easily stolen, while other things are hard to take.
Some things are easily broken, while other things are impossible to break.
My mind, my soul, my dignity, my culture, and my pride
are things that you can't take or break, no matter how hard you may try.
You see my people have paid for the things I have with rivers of blood sweat and tears.
But still today, you try to take away, as you have been for 500 years.
Chico Mendez spoke, Ruben Salazar wrote, Cesar Chavez marched in peace.
Villa rebeled, Hidalgo yelled, Zapata refused to live on his knees.
All have passed on, their spirits I carry on, remembering them everytime I wake.
Cuauhtemoc's spirit will guide me, so go ahead and try me, I promise you I will not break.
