Shakira's bleaching
Brown don't work
Go ask Christina
Everyone's got to make a living
JUANDI:
Went from a peasant to a saint this year
Everybody's looking at this robe that I wear
LUPE:
You don't know where you're going,
you don't know where you're from
JUANDI:
Lupe that ain't fair
Yeah, Why you callin' me out?
Mija, I love my look,
come everybody, check it out
LUPE (sarcastic):
With you new white skin, you fresh
JUANDI:
Nothing phony with me
You're the one who's
selling plastic
Christmas lights on TV
LUPE (chorus):
Don't be fooled by the props that I got
I'm still, I'm still Lupe from the block
Used to be a secret, now I'm hyped a lot
No matter where I go I know where I came from
(Tepeyac!)
So big deal if my face is on a wok
I'm still I'm still Lupe from the block
I don't mind the keychains and the flowerpots
No matter where I'm sold, I know where I came from
(Tepeyac!)
JUANDI:
From my native cloak to denim jeans
To tortillas to tattoos to these
Toilet seats
LUPE:
I stay grounded as trademarks roll in
I'm real I thought I told ya
JUANDI:
Better steer clear of Oprah
LUPE:
That's not me!
JUANDI:
So then honey,
don’t hate on me
just based on what you see
JUANDI (Chorus):
Don't be fooled by the white skin I got
I'm still, I'm still Juandi from the block
Used to be an indio, and now I'm not
No matter where I go, I know where I came from
(LUPE: Maybeline!)
JUANDI:
You can diss but just look what it's brought
White works, just go ask the King of Pop
I hear Michael Jackson wants the tone I got
I'm crossing over, gonna make it to the top
LUPE:
I came down to earth like this
Didn't play that game
I am not ashamed
I'm brown and proud and loving it
JUANDI:
What about this picture here?
I'm real!
JUANDI:
REAL??
LUPE:
That's it, you got me seething!
LUPE'S HOMEGIRLS (Chorus):
Don't come here tryin' to knock what she's got
She's still, she's still Lupe from the Block
She's a holy diva but she loves her flock
No matter where we go, we know that she's with us
JUANDI'S HOMEGIRLS (Chorus):
Don't be fooled by the fame that you got
It's all 'cause of Juan de Tepeyac
You used to be a minor virgin, now you're hot
No matter where you go, he's the one you owe
LUPE:
It takes hard work to help folks
Prayers, apparitions, miracles, it's all exhausting
Got no Vatican White-outYou went the easy route
LUPE (pissed off):
Boy you just don't know who to blend with
Just keep it real with the ones you came in with
Like me, la Raza, Mexico
yo show your glow with a halo
mello yello hello
low row in the snow no dough you know hoooooo!!
Soundtrack stops -- everyone's like "huh?"
MUSIC STARTS AGAIN
JUANDI:
You're a fool, you are so out of touch
I'm the, I'm the new saint on the block
Now I’m at the Vatican I've got a shot
No matter what, I’m gonna make it to the top!
LUPE:
I wasn't born when you saw me on that rock
I was Tonantzin before Tepeyac
You think you're God's gift to women but you're not
And don't you dare forget that I'm Jesus' mamma
LUPE: My powers are ancient and divine
JUANDI: Is that why you signed with Calvin Klein?
LUPE: The Aztecs loved me way before recorded time
JUANDI: And then you changed your name just to make a dime...
LUPE: Oh shut up all you humans do is whine!
JUANDI: Who asked you to come and waste my time?
I got a big interview on Channel 9
LUPE: Thank God, that means no more stupid rhymes.
