Maximón

In between the soundless screams
And that fire crack they took a step
Towards the way it used be

Common calls between friends, is your mom ok?
I ain't seen her in days
And we know exactly what that means

I'm just the listener
In a language I don't understand
Keep telling me you're innocent
While you fill my belly with wine

Why don't I say a thing?
Does a wise man have to speak?
You give me what you think I like
Neck ties and Teca and home for the night

Slicing through your hard earned work
Just that sweet taste, they took away
Just to keep you in place

Born a dog of the streets
Them cobblestones destroy your feet
While pampered eyes watch your misery

I'll be your Maximón
Protect you from all that pain
You dress me up how you like
But don't let me meet your wife

I'll be your Maximón
Looks like you got me all year long
I'll give you something less tame
It won't be like when your family was claimed
