Ice el Hielo

Eva's wiping down the table, there she is
Making sure everything shines like a pearl
When the boss lady arrives, she better not complain
Wouldn't want her to get accused of being illegal

José's tending to the gardens
They look like they're from Disneyland
Drives an old truck without a license
Doesn't matter if he was a cab driver back in his hometown
That doesn't count for Uncle Sam

The ice is loose on these streets
You never know when it’s gonna hit us
Kids are crying at the exit
Crying when they see that mom won't be coming

One stays here
Another stays there
That's what happens when you go out to work

Marta came here as a kid and dreams of going to school
But it’s tough without the papers
The ones born here get to keep the laurels
But she never stops fighting
