Actually, it's "While Mexicans shine the souls of the white man's shoes"

It's a political reference to the oppression many Mexicans face when they first come into this country in a poem that is otherwise light-hearted and funny.

I met him down in Austin and asked the same question. He's one of those rare Nuyoricans that does a lot of work with the Chicano community.
