We are the calloused hands of agriculture The sun burned neck of labor The bruised heel of infrastructure We are those who go without praise or applause Who wake up early And go to sleep late So that our sons and daughters have food on their plates We are hated for our pigment We are hated for our accent Pigeonholed as rapists and smugglers But really, we do the **** pendejos would never do And we do it with pride on our sleeves And love in our hearts Because sometimes our families are countries apart We take jobs that are not glamorous And let racists hammer us And use that hammer to sustain our families
