jesùs o. - #cleandreamact lyrics
verse 1:
listening & seeing it, i feel it, it’s real
the images–a picturesque portrait of an immigrant who built
her home with bricks, resilience, strength
& a work-ethic of steel
& brilliance glintin’
round the globe with porcelain appeal
i said, brilliance glintin’
round the globe with porcelain appeal
but politics’ horror hit my consciousness
with a daca repeal
but f-ck that wall & sh-t, & being used as bargaining chips
we every day colin on the field!
like congressman stop cavin’
no militarization, nothin’ but a clean bill
against this administration, rallying with dreamers
whose dreams are being decimated
robbed & k!lled by the day, bent
on it like look me in my eye & i dare you to denigrate me
& tell me how you really feel, ike would you really separate me
from my fam, homan? tell me!
chorus:
i said, congress, this is the last call
for protections in place in our laws
& if you d-mn us all, on election day
then you out the door

verse 2:
we are the undoc-mented youth, family on the move
as you’re stuck in quicksand, sinking in mixed sadness
& feeling confused, like sh-t i mean you’re only 10
to understand what you’re going through
but your parents ran with you hand-in-hand
& took a chance bettin’ on you to do
better than them, cuz the roots
of their homeland was famished
like a plant there could never bloom
so her parents saying ‘my plan is to brandish you
with tools that enable you to do
all that you can & ever hope to do’
& now you just tryna prove
yourself on this foreign land when its all you ever knew
so i’m battling for you brothas & sisters
like only in high school & that one teacher that saw potential in you
& invested in your math eloquence & sk!lls to compute
in fact, he tried to recruit you into edison
but the past crept in & your status refused
your ascendance like sorry but you just ain’t american enough boo
like you ain’t contributed your all to this country
so f-ck that d-mn right i am, & i’m proud to be mexican too
a piece of paper doesn’t make us, so keep tryna taint us
though it won’t break us in two
we’ve earned our checks & stripes like
red, white, & blue, but it ain’t the paint bruh
that makes us patriots, it’s the pain from
which our values done grew, & i’ve prayed so the day’ll come
like night when we’re recognized as stars
cuz we’ve more than paid our dues
so thank you congresswoman linda sanchez
for encouraging us to shoot for the just cause
empathizing with our scars, & fighting for our human right
cause the plight in sight is this dignity of ours
& we won’t rest till our communities are free from bars
& not one more family is separated due to unjust laws, word
chorus:
i said, congress, this is the last call
for protections in place in our laws
& if you d-mn us all, on election day
then you out the door
clean dream act
