Physical copy of my first album, Providence. There is so much to say about this project. During the pandemic, I decided to invest in my studio equipment because recording wasn't feasible during those times of uncertainty. I picked up my pen and wrote every concept and idea for this record. The release took some time mainly because I was learning the process of recording. The physical CD is top notch. The artwork and presentation are amazing! Thank you for supporting my music.

about
This video was filmed in the city of Los Angeles. I decided to join the massive protest for Vanessa Guillen on July 25th 2020. I wrote this song in 2019. The motivation behind this song was all the double standards and injustices that I've personally either experienced or observed. Societies cultural beliefs often reinforce the inequalities we see. Listen was written from the my personal life experiences. This song wasn't written to persuade people to vote a certain way. I'm a Christian and my political views are conservative. However, I recognize that the word of God already answered the issues of injustice in many different ways. Thank you for all the support and encouragement.

lyrics
I’m from the race of people that are marginalized, A racial group of people that are stigmatized. You know, the people who work the fields infested with pesticides. The kind of people that work the jobs you and I both despise. The people that are destined to the jobs way at the bottom of the economic hierarch. They low pay those who harvest and work the hardest; Although the safety risks are disproportionate. Those in power hide their failures & weaknesses. The question is? Who becomes the
Scapegoat and the target? Who bears the faults of the nation's sins? Well, if you listen to the rhetoric or view in a stereotypic lens, it’s easy Mexicans.
They want the fruits and labor from the immigrant's hand, but when it comes to citizenship — no pathway or plan. A Yo These crooked politicians are ravenous man, but what you expect they eat their own kind like cannibals, Hannibal lect, They turn the scapegoat into shreds. They embarrass my people, disparage my people, deem my people as savages, some type of inferior threat. I’m among the demonized, the ones who get the evil eye, the ones who receive the harshest treatment and a heap of lies. They tried to bury us, but they did not perceive we were seeds derived from those who sacrificed & fled the life that had their offspring deprived.
He answers our prayers, although We at the bottom of the social stratification of layers. Trust in the providential care of the Lord who hardened the heart of the pharaoh, He knows the amount of hair
Follicles, perils, and death of a sparrow. I am an arrow, an heir, the son of I AM beware! Believe me, my people,
He cares!
A bullet ricocheted and took the life of Kate. In no way do intend to denigrate her name. But I don’t recall a new law that was introduced when a white
Supremacist know as Dylann Roof shot & killed black folks praying in the pews. It would be an injustice to single out this gruesome invasion, then blanket a whole group in the nation. The hidden curriculum is They the villains vilify 'em, they the vile ones they the reason that our country is so full of violence. All they do is drug deal murder and bring crime with ‘em. If this was Rome, they’d feed us to the lions. If it was Auschwitz they’d gas is in the ovens, the truth is if they could, they’d euthanized us.
It's the actions of a person that are evil, but it’s impossible to label a human being an illegal. They call my people wetbacks, and bean eaters, the wetback caused by sweat dripping from our hard labor, and Yea, I’m a bean a human being so don’t dehumanize me. The anchor baby term is such an irony, to serve as an anchor isn’t agony. On the contrary, it’s a compliment, without it, the boat will drift & receive punishment from the waves & wind. What makes America great are her immigrants.
