La carne

The cheapest meat in the market
Is black meat

That goes freely to jail
And inside plastic bags
And goes straight to underemployment
And ends up in psychiatric hospitals

The cheapest meat in the market
Is black meat

That made and makes history supporting this country
With the strength of its arms
The cattle here doesn't feel rebellious
Because the revolver is already cocked
And the avenger is slow
But very well-intentioned

And this country is making everyone black
And with straightened hair
But even so, it still holds the right
That some ancestor of color may
Fight, subtly, for respect
Fight, bravely, for respect
Fight for justice and respect
Of some ancestor of color
Fight, fight, fight, fight
