Maria

The sun ablaze as Maria's foot touches the surface of sand
 On northern land, as human contraband
 Some rico from Jalisco passed her name to the Boss
 She stuffed into a truckbed, she clutches her cross
 Here comes the exhaust and it rips through her lungs
 She's off fast to the pasture, like cattle she'll cross
 Degree 106, sweat and vomit are thrown
 And she prays and suffocates upon the memories of home
 Of Yanqui guns for blood debts on the loans
 Of smoldering fields, rape, rubble, and bones
 Of graves hidden, trapped up in visions of war
 Of nothing, no one, nobody, no more
 These are her mountains and skies and she radiates
 Through history's rivers of blood, she regenerates
 And like the sun disappears only to reappear
 She's eternally here
 Her time is near, never conquered but here

 And now she got a quota, the needle and thread crucifixion
 Sold and shipped across the new line of Mason Dixon
 Rippin' through denim the point an inch from her vein
 The foreman approach, his steps now pound in her brain
 His presence, it terrifies and eclipses her days
 No minutes to rest, no moments to pray
 And with a whisper he whips her, her soul chained to his will
 "My job is to kill if you forget to take your pill"
 Her arms jerks, the sisters gather 'round her and scream
 As if in a dream, eyes on the crimson stream
 Numb as her wrists spit shots of blood to the floor
 I am nothing, no one, nobody, no more
 These are her mountains and skies and she radiates
 Through history's rivers of blood, she regenerates
 And like the sun disappears only to reappear (Maria)
 She's eternally here
 Her time is near, never conquered but here
