Maria

Tha sun ablaze as Maria's foot

Touches tha surface of sand

On northern land

As human contraband

Some rico from Jalisco

Passed her name to tha boss

She stuffed ten to a truckbed

She clutches her cross

Here comes tha exhaust

And it rips through her lungs

She's off fast to tha pasture

Like cattle she'll cross

Degree 106

Sweat and vomit are thrown

And she prays and suffocates

Upon tha memories of home

Of Yanqui guns for blood debts on tha 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

And through history's rivers of blood she regenerates

And like tha sun disappears only to reappear

She's eternally here

Her time is near

Never conquered but here

To tear away at tha mask

And now she got a quota

Tha needle and thread crucifixion

Sold and shipped across tha new line of Mason Dixon

Rippin' through denim

Tha point an inch from her vein

Tha foreman approach

His steps now pound in her brain

His presence it terrifies

And eclipses her days

No minutes to rest

No moment 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

Tha sisters gather round her and scream

As if in a dream

Eyes on tha crimson stream

Numb as her wrists spit shots of blood to tha floor

Of nothing no one nobody no more

These are her mountains and skies and she radiates

And through history's rivers of blood she regenerates

And like tha sun disappears only to reappear

Maria she's eternally here

Her time is near

Never conquered but here

\To tear away at the mask

Away at the mask

To tear away at the mask

No minute to rest

No moment to pray

No minutes to rest

No moments to pray

No minutes to rest

It eclipses her days

Just a moment to pray

To tear away at the mask

Away at the mask

Away at the mask

To tear away at the mask
