5 A.M., at the crack of dawn Gotta catch the, the morning bus Another mindless day at the factory 'Cause I didn't have many opportunities The scrapes, the scars, the skin that's coarse These are my, my working class hands Washing dishes, overbearing soap There's no clock or radio to cope Scrubbing to provide for my family 'Cause I didn't have many opportunities The scrapes, the scars, the skin that's coarse These are my, my working class hands Financial mobility, sardonically so out of reach Perpetual poverty due to elitist policies No child left behind, pointless tests were standardized Public schools with wasted time - the underfunded youth, Pariah U.S. policy appeases the symptoms of failure But ignores the root of the problem Structural inequality Danish flexicurity - employment stability Ensured social security, no struggle for meals to eat Labor market's regulated, unemployed get education The U.S. creates alienation, resulting in incarcerations

Neighborhoods once low in value Restructured for returns in profit Cute new vintage businesses In an effort to increase tax bases Cost of renting maximizes Due to the decline in crime Garbage magically disposed of Police patrolling all the time Highland Park, Boyle Heights, and Echo Park Native residents now displaced Unjustly profiled by their race Gentrifiers hate our culture File another noise complaint Pushing out the working class While complaining about the homelessness Neveau Riche? We were here first Scared to be placed in a hearse Mad dogged, you're unwelcome guests Are you feeling the discomfort? Guess who feels worse If I smashed your beloved personal property Your new Bohemian lifestyle still has viler effects on me Long live the memory of Alejandro Nieto, executed by the S.F.P.D. For wearing his on-duty taser in a gentrified neighborhood
