Puppet Master 2 The Destruction of La Raza
The Puppet Master smiled as he
gloated over how well his plan
was working. “I now have my
brown skinned victims working
hard on my behalf.
With their disdain for knowledge
and learning they are making this
almost too easy! So, pour on the
drugs, alcohol, sex, partying, and
violence. Let them become so
drunk on their egos, that they
will not notice their own
coming self-destruction.”
The Puppet Master sneered as
he let out a wicked laugh. “Look,
even with all the danger posed
by a worldwide pandemic, they
still flock like moths, into the
flames of chaos and death.”
Near the Puppet Masters throne
was a fountain from which poured
the tears of the mothers of La Raza,
and beside it a river which flowed
with the blood of those killed by
senseless violence.
“My mighty river now flows with
their blood and it will continue
for as long as they keep listening to
me. It is because, I can manipulate
their young minds so easily that I
can guide their thoughts and actions
away from achieving success, and
happiness."
The Puppet Master, then stretched
out his hand. “See for yourself, how
they love everything I offer. As
long as this continues, everything
will remain the same, for La Raza."
The Puppet Master then grew silent,
as he contemplated what if the
young people of La Raza would
only embrace knowledge and
learning, then he would lose all
power and control over them.
Then he said angrily, “Let them be
blind that they may not see, that
they may be hard of hearing towards
those who promote learning, that they,
may not seek knowledge, lest they
escape my clutches and succeed and
prosper beyond their wildest dreams!”
Knowledge, learning, and education
are like powerful lamps which shine
brightly to illuminate the darkness in
the world. He or she who chooses to
walk without them in life will often
stumble and fall. These three possess
the power to destroy all self-imposed
ignorance which is the favorite
destructive
weapon of the evil one,
known as - The Puppet Master!

Reppin LA Raza 2
Brown N Proud
Here I am brown n proud
I come from gente that don’t
back down.
My people work, protect
and love. They don’t kill,
needlessly, steal, or talk
stupid jive, but to mess with
us is to mess with your life.
Old school blood, runs in our
veins, and the strength in our
muscles, is the name of the
game.
So, if you say that you rep
La Raza, make sure you
know the score. Because
respect, honor and being
cool is the true way of our
people.
But here’s some advice.
If you do bad things to
put our people down,
you better stay silent, or
you will end up looking
only, like a big a.., clown.
Senseless violence,
selling drugs and
poisoning the minds
of our young people.
Telling someone you
love them and then
abusing the very people
you say you love, is not
the way of La Raza!
Leaving kids to fend
for themselves, while
your locked up, paying
the price for some fat
cat who is smiling while,
counting his money,
and thinking what a
stupid fool you are.
Doing drive by shootings
of innocent kids, who never
knew who their father was.
Does shedding their blood
make you feel like a man?
Especially, when you shot
them from a safe distance?
How does it feel to be a
total coward?
Reppin La Raza is about
respect, honor and power,
not about being played for
a fool by your so called,
camaradas! How many
visited you in prison?
I bet quite a few wanted to
visit your woman while you
were on the inside?
Open your eyes and see the
truth, because being a man,
is not about being a fool! It’s
about love, honor and respect
for yourself and for others!
So, if you say you rep La
Raza make sure you give,
honor and due respect, to the
Powerful Name, of - LA RAZA!

Reppin LA Raza 1
We are the children of the
sun, pyramids and moon.
The stars are our brothers
and sisters, for we belong
to the creative force which
formed the earth, heavens,
and universe.
Strength, honor and respect
flow within our veins.
Courage, crowns our people,
even amidst oppression, we
always stand strong.
Brown, black, green, hazel,
and blue eyes, are the eyes
of our people, Like cats of
the jungle, we see all, and
nothing can escape.
From a cauldron boiling
with passion, and the
mixing of the races, was
born La Raza, a diverse
mixture of humanity upon
the world, many flavors,
one brand.
Born of the rain which
washed our sins, and of
the eternal fire which
burns within, we have
now melted into one, and
become like the purest
of gold.
Hopes and dreams fill our
hearts as we writhe like
flames, consumed by the
eternal fire which burns
within, our collective
soul!
We are, - LA RAZA!
