Song about the struggles of the latina women in los angeles.

The first part about the song is about her immigration to california, and the irony of the fact that she is crossing over the bones and bodies of her ancestors who ca previously belonged to (as well as the native-americans who it previously, previously belonged to).

The sond part of the song has specific references to clothing factories ("and now she got a quota - tha needle and thread crucifixion - sold and shipped across tha new line of mason dixon")

goes with the theme of the album batte of l.A. For mexico to reclaim the land lost in the mexican-american war of 1846.

this song is about the unfair punishment the system has givin many ppl including this girl who was misfairly treated when she was moving drugs. She's dead but still fighting because of the story that's helping tear away at the dfake mask of the system. I'm not typin the lyricsas evidence so just listen to the song

The song is about how every body is gay but that one guy who cuts himself and raped his sister.
