Esfuerzo

Todo por 15 centavos Everything for 15 cents The labour of my hands The sweat that beads down my forehand That connect with the chopping of plants and extracting from their roots Por mis hijos y su futuro me esfuerzo For my kids and their future, I strive As the sounds of yelling blares through the winds I need to help my kids To place food in their mouths The thought connects to my hand as I chop the fruit And extract it from its root, over and over Until the sun has accomplished its desires with me And left me with pain tha rides up my back and through my neck Let me show you the lineage that runs in my family How i had to escape mi tierra, mi casa Bonita As all the ripped through the air was violence Girls that got raped day after day Mothers mourning day after day Now I work to create a better future day after day The sun beats down on my forhead Like cascades that flow over cliffs The pain as having a gun pointed at you Mi casa, mi tierra was now America Where I was promised to work for peace Why do you see evil in me That you see a reflection of those who forced us out I am human too I am not a rapist, or a drug dealer Soy una personna Even when others don’t see that So, Presidente Trump Why want to push us out and return us to the source of pain Your wall is protection for you but a death sentence for us Oye nuestras voces, oye mi historia
