I'm Mexican American born and raised right here
Just when things just might progress it gets swallowed up by fears
people pointing fingers and trying to scapegoat me
but you can't turn back the hands of time or twist reality.
History has warned of what is to come
The Sins of the Father keep falling on the son
On the streets I see violence, loneliness and despair
The circle keeps on going around and no one seems to care
They pit us against each other, the poor against the poor
don't matter if you are brown or white you're picking crumbs off the floor.
We got to change our way of thinking start making things right
too many of us brother are being taken in the night
History has warned of what is to come
The Sins of the Father keep falling on the son
The border states of this country are as much ours as their yours
Our fathers picked your harvests and died in your wars
and now your here judging me for the color of my skin
While were both getting played right here just like violins
We got to change our way of thinking start making things right
too many of us brother are being taken in the night
History has warned of what is to come
The Sins of the Father keep falling on the son
