Ever since the Spanish came over they just wouldn't let us be Everyone from Isabela & Colon to that dibalo Pete Stop hatin' on our peeps recognize we're here Cause in the future we will have grown If you're down with us now you will then prosper so sit back & laugh with us Just try to understand we're givin' all we can but you playa-hate on us Borderline feels like you're gonna to keep us down but we'll keep on pushin' our peeps over the borderline Keep on oppressin' bay-be don't you know make us stronger we'll just keep on pushin' our peeps over the Borderline Borderline Something in the way you've treated us saids you've tried to make us look like fools many incedents come to mind hmmm...let me see The incedent in Cananea The Zoot Suit Riots Vio-lating Guadalupe Hi-dal-go Segregating kids in Lemon Grove Telling us to leave our ways & John Box calling us A Bunch of Dirty-Dogs Look what your hate has done to us c'mon Gringos Let us be You've caused us so much pain but we've developed game what will it take to recognize? We'll just pushin' our peeps over the Borderline keep on oppressin' us keep on oppressin' us keep on oppressin' our peeps c'mon Ernie c'mon Petey The Borderline Borderine
