Papers they want papers

But we got hands like steel

Building their towers their bridges

But they say we’re not real

Dirty looks on the corner

Sweat soaked into the ground

Every step we take is stolen

But who’s stealing now

Invisible chains invisible walls

Who made them who made them

We bleed we cry we burn

We’re people too

We scream we fight we learn

We’re people too

Invisible chains won’t hold

We’re breaking through

Ghosts in the system

Names erased like dust

But the streets they walk on

Are held up by our trust

Shadows in the sunlight

Eyes that never rest

They take our breath for profit

But we’re still their best
