Intro
(desert wind FX, eerie synth pad, low rattlesnake shake) Coyote 1: "Borderline trails, we walk unseen..." Coyote 2: "Eyes wide in the heat, heart cold from the dream..." [Verse 1] (Coyote 1) We watch ‘em cross under stars that never ask why Backs broke on hope, feet cracked dry They ain't pushin' poison, just lookin’ for bread Built your roofs, cleaned your rooms, still filled with dread ICE creepin’ in vans, no knock on the door You hide in closets while your babies hit the floor Some got records, yeah—kick ‘em back quick But peace‑holdin’ folks? That system too sick We need a path, not a trap, something real A list where the good can walk without conceal Prove your past, prove your grace, stay ten And maybe—just maybe—you’ll breathe again
