The Errands/The Mandates

I crossed the Río Grande swimming
Without giving a fuss.
And the Border Patrol threw me outside
and I landed in Nogales
And I Entered through another border station
and then I was thrown into Ciudad Juarez.
 
And From there I went to Tamaulipas
And I Crossed / Sneaked through Laredo
I disguised myself as a white boy
And I Painted my hair blonde
But I didn't speak English
And they tossed me out again.
 
The Immigration / Border Patrol Grabbed me,
They've caught me 300 times
But haven't tamed/controlled me.
He ran errands for me
The beatings I took were paid back to their countrymen.
 
Through Mexicali, I snuck through
and Red San Luis
I crossed all the lines
Wet and being Contraband.*
But I Never gave up
I came and went to the other side.
 
I knew all the lines
Roads, Rivers and Canals
From Tijuana to Reynosa
From Matamoros to Juárez
From Piedras Negras, to El Paso
And from Agua Prieta to Nogales.
 
The Border patrol grabbed me,
300 times we say.
But they never tamed me.
And he ran errands for me.
The beatings I took
Were paid back to his countrymen.
