Levánte compadre
Qué pasa
Oyes ese zumbido
Si compadre
Es el elicoctero

Métete debajo de esos matorrales,
De volada, apúrele

Híjole, se me hace que ya ? ? ?
Eso es lo de menos compadre
Se me hace que ya nos cargó
La que nos trajo compadre

Hey mexicanos, no moverse pa' tras de la frontera
Nosotros no quererlos aquí en los estados unidos
Ustedes estar muy feos!"

Ahí viene la migra,
Y te quiere atrapar
El cerco de púas,
Acabo de brincar
Lo único que quiero,
Es ir a trabajar
Para a mis hijos,
Darles de tragar

Porque donde vivo,
No puedo progresar
Los que odian a los gringos,
No nos quieren llevar
Pinches intereses no nos van a entregar

Que dicho es ser humano,
Que ? ? ? miseria
Que dicho gozar ? ?,
Que distinto es ? ?

Lo único que quiero es,
Comida, techo, vestido, dignidad

Ahí viene la migra,
Y te quiere agarrar
El cerco de púas,
Acabo de brincar
Lo único que quiero,
Es ir a trabajar,
Para a mis hijos,
Darles de tragar

Porque donde vivo,
No puedo progresar
Los que odian a los gringos,
No nos quieren llevar
Pinches intereses no nos van a entregar

Lo único que quiero es,
Comida, techo, vestido, dignidad

Ahí también verás,
Odio, cárcel, tortura, muerte

Lo único que quiero es,
Comida, techo, vestido, dignidad

Ahí también verás,
Odio, cárcel, tortura, muerte

Fuck you usa!
