Campesinos Lyrics

I've seen it all seen my people workin for the low

They in the field making cents trying to make it grow

Nobody else wanna do the work that they do

110 outside the sun make it worse too

I seen a daughter with her mother should of been in school

but money short, help is needed when the rent due

Time be tough when your mother got no documents

so every day picking fruit is really all there is

See our mind different gotta do the dirty work

cause white folk be dammed to let they knees hurt

Sad truth they want you out if you dark skin

but if you down for lil pay then it's all good

Funny how this country works ran by the white folk

Tellin us we don't belong but U.S. always been home

It's all good if we cookin up yo food tho

But magine if my people had enough and really went home

They put us down, but they can never do what we do

My blood line warriors we always known to keep it true

Read them books nothings change since them old days

We stay connected to our roots and our old ways

They put us down, but they can never do what we do

My blood line warriors we always known to keep it true

Read them books nothings change since them old days

We stay connected to our roots and our old ways

Imagine waking up the sun ain't even out

Barely make enough to cover rent now you feeling down

Cause lights a privilege when you Barely making ends meet

Pain in your hands and feet feeling like you in defeat

There ain't a choice tho gotta keep the paper coming

Cause bills stacking up high till it hit the ceiling

This is modern day slave work nothin less

And once you understand that it's hard to digest

They take advantage of the hard work my people do

Not just them but even you when you ain't got the tools

Who else you know outside trying to find some work

And who's the last white guy you seen shovel dirt

You see my point it's the brown the make the world spin

Without us they wouldn't know where to begin

That be some truth for the ones that think they got it tuff

If you ain't livin like they livin you ain't livin ruff

They put us down, but they can never do what we do

My blood line warriors we always known to keep it true

Read them books nothings change since them old days

We stay connected to our roots and our old ways

They put us down, but they can never do what we do

My blood line warriors we always known to keep it true

Read them books nothings change since them old days

We stay connected to our roots and our old ways
