Aurelio Nava - The Story of Jose Lyrics

This is the story of a Mexican kid
Who left everything behind just like everyone did
Friends family i dont know what the motive is
Saying facts that no one notices shit

Friends,family Jose was living fine
Not dealing with depression he was full of shine
Bedtime at nine, everyday family time
Those days were Jose at his prime

Just a adolescence,waiting for life to teach him a lesson
Thinking life is full of blessings, listen how life changes in a second
Everything change God gave him pain
Going from mexico, to the united states

His first language is not English it was Spanish
He was starting to believe that he was below average
He didn't know shit
He didn't know nothing
He just wanted to go back
Back to his home country

He was starting to get depress,thinking that his life was a mess
Living with his grandparents but they were always absent
Feeling out of place, feeling like he was behind
Gates
Missing family's grace, Mexican in United States

Im not trying to show you
The Mexican life
Im trying to shown you
The sacrifice life
Different point views
Saying that we cause crime
I dont know man
These are really dark times

Racism is always gonna exist
Nativism is never gonna be dismissed
Minorities, only came to assist
No matter what they say
We will always persist

No matter what they say we will always be persist
No matter what they say we will always be persist
No matter what they say we will always be persist
No matter what they say we will always be persist

No mama no papa, Jose was feeling different
Something that he, have never feel before
Whats the difference between US and Mexico?
That you need a car, to go to the store

Enough of being depress, enough of being oppress
Enough of this Bs, i need to put myself to test!
Get enough progress for me to achieve success
Those words came from, Jose's chest

Get up,stand up get ready to fight
Jose is going against himself and hes going to be alright
Has he remember those days that he left behind
Jose is getting ready, to begin a war with his mind

Jose opens his eyes he no longer wants to cries
Now all he wants is to reach for the skies
He beginning to believe he no longer wants to leave
Now he knows what he needs to achieve
