Chota
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Cuidado, ahi viene la placa, la jara, cuidado, ahi viene, cubrete lacara
Los derechos de un ser humano fueron violados por otro ser humano
Unos policias se aprovecharon de la autoridad que la gente les dieron
Entrenados a llevarse un hombre sin violar derechos, abusaron suautoridad, palizaron
un hombre sin piedad
Nosotros la gente que les dimos autoridad, igual, se lo podemos quitar
Eso fue lo que yo vi, lo que les digo, ocurrio asi
CHALI'S RAP-
He caught a nightstick lick to the brain piece
It's a new day but it'sthe same beast hopin that the pain cease
He hopin that your brainsleak on the concrete from his heat or from his feet
Is he s'pose tomaintain peace or is it beef
Like a t-bone steak they like to seebones break
The way they cuff you, the way they hobble through laws,with his foot in your back
screamin probable cause
Not only do flawsoccur when you serve and protect, you swerve and project
Bullets /That don't deserve to connect
To bystanders and perpetrators of alesser crime
Evil that you shine will never stand the test of time
Let's define brutality in its entirety force unnecessarily
Some thinkit's a fantasy I think it's a tragedy how we let the people who we call
protectors inflict and oppress us
