This song is about losing family because of being transsexual. More than that, its about losing ties to cultural identity as a mixed race person. Familia is a huge, infinitely important thing in Mexican culture, but too often it is thrown to the wind when a family member come out of the closet.
lyrics
You told me blood is thicker than water, but it turns out
my blood my blood it turns to piss if I don't play the hijo
Late night phone calls
There's a first time for everything
Late night phone calls
It wasn't enough to keep talking shit behind my back
I can finally look at my own face without hatred
But why did it have to cost so much?
Nadie me dijo que tenia
Que tenia que cortar a mis raizes
Nadie me dijo que tenia
Pero quiero vivir
