(VERSE I/Dr.Faustus)
Forced to conform to the will of the oppressors
This shiny gold you sought never really impressed us
We the savage defend against civilized aggressors
The children of the lesser
Broken spirits mend to oppose foreign transgressors
Native in loincloth baring gifts taken as obscene gesture
Spanish conquest comes from emaciated pale skin creeps
Shallow men void of love is the company sin keeps
Throughout the years we've come to overstand political science
Sovereignty attained through Boriqua-Cuban alliance
Flags wave similar to remind us of defiance
Y'all never saw it comin', island nations becomin' giants
Globalization, non-compliance
Genocide to indian tribes
Siboney, Taino, Hatuey, Mayans
Los tiraflecha got arrows flyin'
God you must hear my cries
This slain son of yours make 'em thirst for our heathen demise
Convince them Shaman also wise
Even if we decide to hide our hides under animal hides
We are not savage, we verbalize
In a different language, our land's ravished
Us in poverty, them living lavish
Why does it continue? Indigenous people considered
below average
Chorus:
The dominance of a people powered by the sun
chased and hunted down 'til the land is overrun
action added to the adage, "We shall overcome"
Spear must pierce flesh quicker than soldier's gun
RELAX, RELATE, RELEASE, SCREAM
Attack! debase the beast's dream
His nightmare filled with guerrilla rebels
death is a blessing given to these devils
(VERSE 2/Seth P. Brundel)
Llena de sangre
Una espada clavada en el alma de la tierra
con huella Espanola
Ellas no llegaron solas
Con las de corporaciones
Naciones fascistas
Materialista
Violando la isla que grita con cancer en los rinones
Sus habitantes asmaticos pescando peces que no hacen
burbujas por meses
Quitense los lentes y enfoquen
Fuck it
Vamos hacer ejercicios militares con quÃmicos tóxicos
que matan al instante
en el patio de la Casa Blanca
la casa del narcotrafico
que tragico Lola
el mundo se ha vuelto Calle Luna Calle Sol
Agarra tu pistola
Ve con Juanito Alimana no vayas sola
Dile que el dÃa de la suerte viene ante la muerte y roba
Documentos clasificados de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia y explota
Transmite vÃa radio rebelde la gente que se vende por
un dólar le cortamos la lengua y el bembe Entiende
Quieren que nos quedemos ignorantes y sin educación
Recuerden el masacre de Panama las miles de personas
que mataron afusilaron y no ensenaron por televisión
El Grupo 8 esta involucrado
En asuntos mas profundos que un toto sin fondo
Que somos?
Busquen los Macheteros locos por darle
un machetazo al brazo de la justicia
La injusticia
Si Latino America se unen rapido como una brisa
Mejoramos nuestro estado
El golpe avisa!!!!
