lyrics
[Verse 1: Fellowman]
I want to put honesty over technique,
like graffiti that I wrote when I was 17
to tell the whole school system they ain't worth a fuck,
blasting The Clash in the whip to get my courage up.
One thing 'bout music, when it hits you feel untouchable,
indestructible, word to Tibet, the combustible.
The incorruptible soundtrack to suffrage movements
& Venezuela resisting U.S. puppet rule.
Farmers sharpening sickles against the empire,
facing missiles with nothing but will to win fire,
it's what I'm tryna hear,
tying on the black rag soaked in vinegar to go against the cops in riot gear.
I cried a tear when somebody said "this one's for Heather,"
cuz Courtney said she was inspired by my open letter
to the ones, when I was swelling mama's tummy,
who were turning rebellion into money.
The people got this.
[Verse 2: Waterloo]
Everybody out here in the street just tryna make a way,
what you put out on your job ain't reflected in your pay,
it's a setup for a struggle in the game we're forced to play,
corporate forces hoarding fortunes, the judicial make us feel we ain't important
so they force the hands of people every day,
make my brother wanna holler & my mama gotta pray,
hope police won't kill her baby cuz they daily where she stay,
mistake a cell phone in his hand for a gun & start to spray.
Fuck the city up, they buck so giddy-up, won't be no peace
if they can't provide the justice that my people never see,
rather cuff us in the street, grown accustomed to the beat,
throw your fingers, wave your flags, no surrender, no retreat.
Always told us what we could be, couldn't teach us who we are,
so we redefined a culture in a land we don't belong.
Project halls to conference calls, traffic work to trappin' bars,
all my people go so hard, every nigga is a star.
[Verse 3: Fellowman]
De América yo soy,
fantasmas de la guerra, Tolstoi,
y en la calle no hay baile, Bolshoi,
chicos llevan martillos, Oldboy.
Oye: ser americano, ser inmigrante,
ser humano, paisano representante.
Ya grito como antes,
con la voz del indio, cubano, gringo, irlandés,
el campesino, el médico, el confederado,
abolicionista, revolucionario,
el académico, puritano, niño soldado,
refugiados de ambos lados del golpe de estado.
Nuestra reputación me importa,
y me molesta el puto que la exporta.
Si vecino no sea vecino, sino asesino,
acá las UVAS pisan a la gente para hacer vino.
