[Verse 1]
Trench box in the hole
Mud on my vest
Cold breath
You climb in the cab
Key on
Whole crew hold they breath
Te mueves despacio
Then quick
Feather them sticks
Full bucket
Bucket va sobre el center line
Not one rock left from the road
You talk through the glass
Two fingers
I read your hands like scripture
“Back two feet” — no radio needed
That bucket see the picture
We down here chasing grade
Red laser steady beam
Con la pala en tus manos
Eres santo on the screen
[Chorus]
On this block you’re dios de la pala
Every cut, every set — no falla
From the trench I just stare like
“Míralo, bro…”
How you move that boom
Set grade on the go
Dios de la pala
Santo del barro
When you swing that boom
We follow
I’m down here, shovel and lathe
You up top setting grade like fate
Ay
[Verse 2]
String line tight on the stakes
Checking fall, checking slope
One nod
You ease them teeth
Bell drops clean — no chip, no broke
“Bájalo… suave…”
You set it in place
Spigot to bell, gasket seated
No roll, no chase
Rain clouds stacking up gray
Foreman talking delay
You just spin that house around
Tracks sit flat — no sway
I’m mud to the hardhat brim
You barely dust your clothes
En este hoyo profundo
Tú mandas — así se ve, bro
[Bridge]
One day I’ll climb that seat
Hands on the sticks, heart beat
You laugh, “Calmado, hermano
This machine feels fear — it sees.”
Until then I stack the stone
Tie the line, haul the load
Pero aquí en la obra, te juro
Tú eres dios en tu trono de lodo
[Final Chorus]
On this block you’re dios de la pala
Every cut, every set — no falla
From the trench I just stare like
“Míralo, bro…”
How you move that boom
Set grade on the go
Dios de la pala
Santo del barro
When you swing that boom
We follow
I’m down here, shovel and lathe
You up top setting grade like fate
Ay
