A quiet Person like the silence of the wind
Short but feel like the tallest
Keeping my head raised up high
I’m like a Crime
Hard to discover who I am
I am what I am
A young man who comes from a
Small Family
A very poor family
Who needed help to make some money
I’m Just another Mexican who had
To learn a 2nd Language
A lost boy listening to people talk about
Him but didn’t understand
A lot of my friends think I’m Funny
But other people think I’m a guy
With a big head and chubby
I’m a friendly guy but I really
Hate using violence.
