Por Ti from POR Ti by POR Ti
Dedicated to all the mother's of color. The strongest women on earth are those who are able raise their children through oppression while enduring it themselves.
"Mom, you risked everything to come here to give me a better life. Undocumented, poor, and tired, you never once gave up. All those hours worked on the graveyard shift, being called every slur in the book for not speaking english, and living with the fear that at any point we might be separated, you wen't through all that for me and never once did you complain. I can never thank you enough. Te amo mums." -Albert
In memory of Esperanza Castro. Descanzse en paz abuelita.

Lyrics
Triste.
Rota.
You're all I've got.
"Casamos, nosotros venimos para acá, y aquí estamos.
Yo pense que aquí iba ser diferente, estudiar, yo tener una carrera, y pues, feliz.
Estaba llena de ilusiones."
Hurting and sore from all the labor,
Broken and poor calling a savior.
How could you trust him?
Won't let you call him
No, never again.
Hatred for god
Breaking a promise
No es verdad, y tu ya lo sabes.
Todo por mi
Lloro por ti.
"Trabajaba de 10, 11, 12 horas alla. y mi traia trabjo aquí.
Alla la mujer queria el trabajo rapido, y no les dejaba comer, o usar el baño, nos tenia la puerta cerada.
Mi vida, ay que linda hermosa.
Yo pense que aquí iba a ser diferente, estudiar, yo tener una carrera, y pues, feliz."
She's trying her best
To feed all her children but at what cost of living?
To love all her children but at what cost of living?
These memories don't taste the same anymore.
Tears in your eyes.
I know you tried.
I know you tried por mi.
