Chicano Pride

Chicano Pride is first of all about

honor and respect for oneself, for 
ones loved ones, and for others.

It is not about hurting innocent

people, it is about protecting them,

from all the crazy fools in the world.

It’s about being cool, and living up

to ones expectations in life, and seeing

the smiles of our loved ones, instead

of bringing tears to their eyes.

It’s about being a man in the world, and

having that special feeling it brings out

deep inside.

It’s about a woman standing up for her

rights, and self-respect, while seeking the

very best that life has to offer her.

It’s about our children shining like stars

in the night, through the power of education.

Chicano pride is about love and being

loved, without all the lies.

Chicano pride is about realizing where

you came from, and where you are going.

About the power of two mighty empires

flowing within your veins.

Chicano pride is about having the courage

and honor to embrace your true destiny,

which is taking up the scepter of knowledge,

which is the true source of all power in the 
World!

Soy Puro Chicano!

Being a Chicano is really cool.

I don’t need to spend a ton of

feria on tanning products, because

my skin is already golden brown.

I speak three, languages, English,

Spanish, and Spanglish. I also enjoy

the best food in the world, all hot,

spicy, and delicious.

Our women are out of this world,

beautiful, poised, and magnificent.

Our men are strong, proud, and full

of courage.

My heart is full of honor, and respect.

Locos and fools, avoid me because they

know that to mess with me, is to mess

with death.

My heart is full of dreams, love, happiness,

and success. I am brave and defiant and

will not let the past hold me down.

I will spread my wings like an eagle, and

soar high above the pyramids of life. Until

the stars become mine, and they become a

golden crown for my loved ones.

If along the way, someone should ask me,

why I set the bar so high? I will proudly 
say – Porque, Soy Puro Chicano!
