Yeah people come up
Yeah, we better turn tha bass up on this one
Check it, since 1516 minds attacked and overseen
Now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream
Wit their borders and boots on top of us
Pullin' knobs on the floor
Of their toxic metropolis
But how you gonna get what you need ta get?
Tha gut eaters
Blood drenched get offensive like Tet
Tha fifth sun sets get back reclaim
Tha spirit of Cuahtemoc alive an untamed
Now face tha funk now blastin' out ya speaker
On tha one Maya, Mexica
That vulture came ta try and steal ya name
But now you got a gun, yeah
This is for the people of the sun
It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again! Uh!
It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again! Uh!
Yeah
Neva forget that tha wip snapped ya back
Ya spine cracked for tobacco
Oh, I'm the Marlboro man, uh
Our past blastin' on through the verses
Brigades of taxi cabs
Rollin' Broadway like hearses
Troops strippin' zoots, shots of red mist
Sailors blood on tha deck
Come sista resist
From tha era of terror
Check this photo lens
Now tha city of angels does the ethnic cleanse
Uh, heads bobbin' to tha funk out ya speaker
On tha one Maya, Mexica
That vulture came to try and steal ya name
But now you found a gun, you're history
This is for the people of the sun
It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again! Yeah!
It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again!
It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again!
It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around!
