Yo ya estoy hasta la madre De que me pongan sombrero Escucha entonces cuando digo No me llames frijolero Y aunque exista algún respeto Y no metamos las narices Nunca inflamos la moneda Haciendo guerra a otros países Te pagamos con petróleo E intereses nuestra deuda Mientras tanto no sabemos Quien se queda con la feria Aunque nos hagan la fama De que somos vendedores De la droga que sembramos Ustedes son consumidores Don't call me gringo You fuckin beaner Stay on your side Of that goddamn river Don't call me gringo You beaner No me digas beaner Mr. puñetero Te sacaré un susto Por racista y culero No me llames frijolero Pinche gringo puñetero Now I wish I had a dime For every single time I've gotten stared down For being in the wrong side of town And a rich man I'd be If I had that kind of chips Lately I wanna smack the mouths Of these racists Podrás imaginarte desde afuera, Ser un mexicano cruzando la frontera Pensando en tu familia mientras que pasas Dejando todo lo que conoces atrás Si tuvieras tú que esquivar las balas De unos cuantos gringos rancheros Las seguirás diciendo good for nothing wetback? Si tuvieras tú que empezar de cero Now why don't you look down To where your feet is planted That u.s. soil that makes you take shit for granted If not for santa ana, just to let you know That where your feet are planted would be México Correcto! Don't call me gringo You fuckin beaner Stay on your side Of that goddamn river Don't call me gringo You beaner No me digas beaner Mr. puñetero Te sacaré un susto Por racista y culero No me llames frijolero Pinche gringo puñetero
