Across the Border

"La Voz" La Noche sin agua --- I spill my loving lips Dancing, laughing, and celebrating life I am his queen, aka' dulce Nina A night he must not forget Lunesta ... Suave ... He savors every moment; Then questions my capabilities Suddenly I feel like a refugee in my own house! History and bad company, repeating itself He wants to ruin the beauty of leadership America on top, Latinos on the bottom "Legally," he says, he'll welcome me Law-abiding, I pass the proper speech Stereotyped every time I share my race Casting my poor nationality under the Rio Grand, A wall too tall, in which my people continue to build After I give him my all Children, love, support The best tortillas in the house He offends a lifetime of memories I'm a skillful woman, I dance with no music I love to work, I take the field Picking cotton, like there's no tomorrow I will continue to paint rainbows And enjoy every color in my garden. Today, I've forgotten what Mexico looks like However, that does not cut him from accusing my race of planting too many trees Calculating, calling Latinos criminals, Forgetting his sin, he wants to win Insinuating we're robbing the American Dream This is where I belong!!! Go ahead and build more republicans I'm already on the side I want to be Born and raised in the USA ~*~
