pride lyrics
[verse 1: liroot]
my roots are meso-american
the middleman from lesser to greater lands
brain washing to make ends meet
deceit is sweet when it’s sugar spoon fed
but fend off contention confections with what i’m penning
typing, scr-ping of the barrel’s end defending what i hold in reverence
now it’s flipped like a dropped mirror spread across the floor
a divided person to reform from wishing to conform
my white spanish blood family uniform
a community upstanding, now i’m warmed up
like the sun was hiding turn around to brown skin & pink contrast is pride now
like look what i found – a nеw me, confidence a nеw breed
charm, good looks, i can’t concede to what others wanted to instill in me
distilled now i’m a hundred proof the best i can be
now i’m feeling myself like i’ve been cold for so long
to the old me, i say so long bygones and bygones

[verse 2: lennin ledesma]
my roots are afro-latino you ain’t f-cking with my ego
money is the root of evil, feel oppressed wherever we go
the devil is by my side, que voy hacer contigo
searching in that sky for that motherf-cking hero
fighting everyday morals like miles morales
despite everyday oppression and it’s hard to manage
like i’m living in a world where we practice malice
living in this wonderland, another version of alice
how can i show the world love when i don’t love myself
the higher power up above knows that love is felt
but i’ve been lying to myself made my f-ckin heart melt
i was ashamed of my people and the way that it was dealt with
running from my fears afraid to be a man of color
standing out amongst my peers each and every summer
afraid to show my pride i’m living like a sucker
thankful to be alive around my sisters and brothers
