Aztecs ruled Aztlan...

Aztlan, the heart of the people...

This culture still goes on strong today with the true Chicanos, Chicano Pride...

Hardcore Raza...

They keep it going strong in everything they do to keep the tradition true.

Pachucos...

They keep it going with the way they dress to show pride of who they are...

With creased pants & pin stripes, their wallet chains, slicked back hair & their necklace with the pride of La Virgen...

The love for their women is just the same, with nothing but respect, every women is considered a queen...

The men are willing to give them everything they will ever need; love, respect, & a family full of love for who they are & where they come from...

Grandparents...

Jefitos & Jefitas, the ones who gave life to the familia in a journey through time still keep the race & tradition together...

Lowriders...

They stand for something ones proud of, their pride & joy; besides their family...

Bombas, the original lowrider cars...

If you're lucky you'll see one every once in a while...

Till this day, I still wonder how we became the greatest self-respected race, that's how I see it in my eyes.

Straight from the heart of an Aztec Queen...
