Lyrics:
lied as I whispered, "mañana"
For our tomorrow never came
South of the border, I rode back one day
There in a veil of white, by candlelight, she
and I went on the run
Don't care about religion
I'm gonna marry the woman I love
Down by the Wexford border
She was Nancy Mulligan
And I was William
borders
Immigrants took our jobs! took our jobs, took our jobs!
Use apparatuses like taxes
as practices to relax the natives
by paying their taxes
so
"I am staring at the wall
Tryin' to get hold of my thoughts
I've been locked up in here for so long
Smothered by the narrowness
Treated worse than
all that saves us
From the black
I want to live not by borders
All the Earth is yours and mine
What a simple expedition for humankind
Hey you with
I left Houston, Texas on a Gulf Coast Hurricane
I was blown down by tornadoes, washed up by the rain
Well, my pappy wasn't happy with me, he told me
Get a dick suck wit a gat in my hand
Bitch, it's thug passion
Chicks drive by in their whips
They be flashin
Do you know Bonic and Lib?
They be
freedom
Its about time we break those borders down
There's too much segregation
We're all a part of one nation
We need to break those borders down
No borders! No boundaries! I need space between my soul and the restrictions around me. No borders should enclose us. Why are we caged by the lines
There are so many rules written by I don't know who
All I know is they were written long ago
When all the ships arrived, on board another life
and doing time
Can't ignore it, smack dab border war
As the beat goes on, words flowed on
I caught the law pyramids, Machu Picchu
Things they don't teach you
by stone,
Day by day,
We will make the great walls crumble and the borders fade away.
I am just a student,
And like students everywhere,
We dreamed
of white by candlelight,
She knelt to pray.
The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way.
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!
cross a border, had them turkeys in the sky
I'll prolly have em by the mornin, tell them people hit my line
I feel the time be gettin shorter, watch
And I lied as I whispered manyana, for our tomorrow never came.
South of the border, I rode back one day.
There in a veil of white by candlelight, she
the fuckin borders
I'm moved by the cold but I'm tryna make you warmer
Reach as many people
That I see as equal
I'm tryna go through with you through
The grass is always greener
By the water
Them doodoo dreads
When you get cross the border
Gold teeth and black dickies
And some Jordans
They ask me where I'm
Pour me another tequila, Sheila!
Pour me another tequila, Sheila
Take off that red satin dress
I crossed the border, and I beat the dealer
For
are you never give no less
And everyday you're surrounded by stress
Crossing border, divine is the order
Now I'm on my journey, on my journey
Well all my friends treated me so well
You know I'm headed out to that Mission Bell
Gonna wash my soul, gonna get it clean
Headed down the border
Her hand was reaching for his pocket
No longer daddy's little girl
Leaving a note explaining nothing
By the time they got to read it
Her faith was in
Crossing the border until I disappear
Are you fractured by the winter as the seasons come and go
Are you reckless as your youth collecting the future that
I was in a van
A cold day in January stopped sliding by
They wanted to know
"where ya from? where ya heading?"
Just everything I knew which was
day.
There in a veil of white by candlelight, she kneeled to pray.
The mission bells told me, that I shouldn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way.
