Latina
Traffic filled streets
Working men, working women
Working for a living wage
Barely making ends meet
Bad government in the rising
El copetes as our president
El Chapo roaming somewhere free
Kate del Castillo on a mafia spree
Children scared to be in the streets
No more barefoot soccer on the concrete
Education keeps going downhill
It’s hard to believe I grew up here
So much culture in our lineage
Yet no respect for our heritage
We used to celebrate el grito
Now there’s nothing to scream about
The National Palace’s entrance on fire
Our dear first lady, declared most corrupt and dishonest
It truly is a third world country
But proudly, still a Latina
