    Here’s how it is
    Blacks started the movement crap-black panthers
    And mexicans followed-brown berets
    Blacks started rap-mexicans followed
    Mexicans started the low riders in el paso-blacks followed
    Mexicans started the street gangs in the early 20th century-blacks followed
    That’s just the truth
    Viva la raza
