los alacranes mojados - pocho lyrics
pocho
a name i was called as a kid with the intentions of humiliating and degrading me
pocho
wasn’t exactly sure what it meant at first. i felt emotional pain before i ever comprehended its verbal meaning
pocho
it promoted self-hatred and confusion as to who i was and what i was doing here
pocho
i wasn’t like here and i wasn’t like there
pocho
i knew i was mexican. i looked mexican, but why did i have trouble speaking spanish?
pocho
my name was ramón when i started kindergarten, but by the third grade, everybody called me “raymond.”
pocho
couldn’t speak no spanish, but i always brought burritos for lunch
pocho
i began to realize that maybe i wasn’t mexican. could it be that i was spanish? but, wait! my jefe was from mapuche, sinaloa. that wasn’t in spain. that’s in mexico!
pocho
all the confusion aroused the curiosity in me. i began to question the implications of the word
pocho
does the label really fit me? maybe it does. and if it does, is it my fault?
pocho
i began to realize that i had absorbed the strengths of two cultures and lifestyles. was that good or bad?
pocho
good,que no. i have an innovative way of expressing myself that relates to both sides of the border
pocho
what’ll it be today? tacos or hamburgers? pedro infante or the rolling stones? tequila or whiskey? a blonde or a morena? a ford or a chevy?
pocho
i’m beginning to think that there’s pride in the word, a pride that was incarcerated by shame and stereotypes
pocho
you know what? i am a pocho, a proud pocho. proud because i have survived cultural denials and attacks on my soul
pocho
simon que yes. yo soy ramón sánchez, better known as “chunky.” a little bit of that and a little bit of this. that’s who i am. one bad-ss pocho. quítate before i say
yo soy chicano
tengo color
puro chicano
un man con honor
fanno de dice
que revolución
que tengo mi raza
con mucho valor
tengo mi orgullo
yo tengo mi fe
soy diferente
soy
tengo cultura
tengo corazón
y no me lo dita
la diferente, cabrón
