Brown & Proud Lyrics by Lighter Shade of Brown

Greatest Hits

1990

[Verse 1: ODM]
Proud of the brown, that's what we should be
Above them all is what we could be
Straighten the problems of all of society
All the homies in the pen, that's what we don't try to be
More complete, believes in one own mind
This is the Lighter Shade and it's our time
Instead of our downfall, it's time to uplift
We got our chance cause our manager Cliff
Fulfilled a team for us to be known
I grabbed the microphone
For any maricón that tries to step up and set aside the prop
Those are the words that should run and hide
Cause that ain't just crazy, it's all about raising
The flag, that keeps us racing
To all societies, I'm voicing it loud
Cause I'm brown and proud
Hey yo T, why don't you rock this shit, man
Give him the microphone
[Verse 2: DTTX]
Brown and proud, that's what I am
So let me express myself in this jam
No shame to my name or the color of my skin
So call me a minority cause that ain't even in
I stand tall for the red, white, and the green
Know what I mean, you don't check hear to seen
I'm brown and gifted, raised and up lifted
Live on the brown side, that's how I'm living
Talk to these punks and never go soft
And doesn't want to put down just to step off
I'm an Aztec that won't be took under
All of the homies are too so take cover
Why don't we sit and talk about our color
Jumping out of place and lose respect for the other
I said it before and I'll say it out loud
Dude, I'm brown and proud
Yo Fabe Love, come off them tables and rock this table homie
[Verse: Fabe Love]
Brown and proud, so I'm saying it loud
A Mexicano here to throw down
Lyrics and música para mi gente
Yo, it's time for something diferente
Latinos, I know you're with this
So raise your hands and pump them fists
Cause it's our turn to come up
Rock the crowd and so whoa what's up
Chicano, power to strong to fade
It's the decade for a Lighter Shade
Suckers distance, take a listen
To a [?] that caught your attention
We call it Spanglish
A bit of Spanish combined with English
So remember the F, the A, the B, the E, the L, the O, the V-E
And saying it loud, you want to know why
Cause I'm brown and proud
Yo Chulo, why don't you step on to the mic and let them know how you feel
[Verse 4: Chulo]
I'm a Mexicano and proud and I'll express my molecule
I'm being very serious and don't need to be ridiculed
Increase the positivity and not what's wrong
Let's unite the fight for what's right and be strong
Always straight up, I never allow disrespect
I'm tired of people putting down and trying to neglect
My nationality and/or my formality
Is everything I talk about is factually
Ojame, porque debemos de juntandos
Que termine la violencia y vivir como hermanos
Think of the people in the past who fought
To gain equality and more open doors that they have brought
So what comes up and goes, set your mind to whatever you got to do
You must have patience cause patience is a virtue
I speaking out load and I'm moving the crowd
The notorious Chulo and I'm brown and proud
Yo, this is for all the Hispanics out there
Always think positive and do the brown thing
[ODM]
Aye yo. What's up. This is the O to the D to the M
I like to say peace to all the crazy vatos out there
[DTTX]
And this is the D, double T-X and we came to correct our mistakes that was talked about the brown race
[Fade Love]
Yo, this is DJ Fade Love and I like to say what's up to all my hente. Be brown and proud for the 90s and we out of here
Paz, paz, paz...
