No Hablo Español Songtext
When I was younger, I was told in order to succeed
What would I do, forget about my native history
To get this started, let′s forget about the Spanish tongue
And learn the language now, and while you were young
To get ahead, you gotta play by the rules
Get rid of books about us and the U.S. fools
To get ahead, you'd have to be understood
Don′t worry, honey, it's for your own good
This is what I remember:
"No hablo español!"
My past did not surrender
"No hablo español!"
To all your bigotry
"No hablo español!"
The path is you and me
"No hablo español!"
This is what I remember:
"No hablo español!"
My past did not surrender
"No hablo español!"
To all your bigotry
"No hablo español!"
The path is you and me
"No hablo español!"
Told to dilute ourselves just to fit in
Water down culture in hopes that we'll blend in
Still segregated means we′ll feel ashamed
I won′t be silenced, no, I won't be tamed
This is what I remember:
"No hablo español!"
My past did not surrender
"No hablo español!"
To all your bigotry
"No hablo español!"
The path is you and me
"No hablo español!"
This is what I remember:
"No hablo español!"
My past did not surrender
"No hablo español!"
To all your bigotry
"No hablo español!"
The path is you and me
"No hablo español!"
What would I do, forget about my native history
To get this started, let′s forget about the Spanish tongue
And learn the language now, and while you were young
To get ahead, you gotta play by the rules
Get rid of books about us and the U.S. fools
To get ahead, you'd have to be understood
Don′t worry, honey, it's for your own good
This is what I remember:
"No hablo español!"
My past did not surrender
"No hablo español!"
To all your bigotry
"No hablo español!"
The path is you and me
"No hablo español!"
This is what I remember:
"No hablo español!"
My past did not surrender
"No hablo español!"
To all your bigotry
"No hablo español!"
The path is you and me
"No hablo español!"
Told to dilute ourselves just to fit in
Water down culture in hopes that we'll blend in
Still segregated means we′ll feel ashamed
I won′t be silenced, no, I won't be tamed
This is what I remember:
"No hablo español!"
My past did not surrender
"No hablo español!"
To all your bigotry
"No hablo español!"
The path is you and me
"No hablo español!"
This is what I remember:
"No hablo español!"
My past did not surrender
"No hablo español!"
To all your bigotry
"No hablo español!"
The path is you and me
"No hablo español!"
