|
Never been handled like we do |
|
Never been talked about like we do |
|
We have a no intention to bomb threat |
|
No intention to hijacking |
|
No intention to hostage holding |
|

|
Remember people the statue stand |
|
For equal rights and justice |

Picking grapes many years ago |
|
Hospital workers many years ago |
|
Housekeepers many years ago |
