let something go if it comes back its yours if it doesnt it never was.


The dirt hasn't covered me
The sun burned my skin
I worked so hard
But yet I'm illegal

I'm a piece of trash
For building your house
Plating your vegetables
For making y'all money

I'm not worthy
Because I'm not light
I'm not enough
Because I cant talk right
I'm not like you
Yes because I'm not you

I work sun rise
To sun set
I swear while you sit
I cry while i shout
I work while you type

You cant handle it like me
So don't compare
Myself to thee
Don't say I'm not enough
Because I'm more
More than what you think

I'm not white
I'm not black
I'm a human
Not a piece of skin color
I'm a living thing
Not a trash bag to throw out
I'm here making your life
Better! dont judge me

You eat i eat
You sip i drink
You sleep i dream
You shop i construct
So give me a chance to prove we are enough
Cause we're all the same.
