My soul is the water that was poured on my people
For protecting our equal rights
My soul is the club that beat on the teenage Latinos
On the wide open streets
My soul is the teeth of a dog that was released
To my Latino brothers and sisters
My soul is the dirt that my Mexican brothers
Had to kneel on to pick fruit
My soul is the badge that won’t let my Latino
Brother come to this country for trabajo
My soul, my soul, my soul
What soul
