Conga Santiaguera (Intro)

Santiaguera EP
Yeah, Let's get it

I am as Cuban as that loud speaker in your car
Brings you joy all the time, you need it in your life
I am as Cuban as Congri y Ron para dormir
Over here they call me Cuba
After they hear me speak(Yoo Cuba!)
I am as cuban as palm trees Except one thing
We don't go with the wind we've always fought for peace
Even dying in the middle of the fucking sea
We feel at ease cause at least we die being free

Inspired by plenty like Cole and Kenny
But, my heart's been in this
Since I first heard Benny Moré
No sé decirte " Cómo Fue" pero me enamore
Ahy castellano "Qué bueno baila usted"
Finding my way through this maze
Rooted to my culture
I know I am fine either way
I am right where I am supposed to
Always been a fighter, I don't need no title
Before I knew my ABC's already been a writer

My island's been crying
For almost 70 years
My people been trying
To survive through it all
We never keep silent
I saw my pops loose it all
And choose to keep fighting
I'll never be the same
Plus I am just tired of this shit
Can't even play pretend
But naw listen ain't no way
I am ever caving in
You might see me running
You might see me walking
You might see me crawling
Homie you won't see me dropping
Stopping, they gonn have to put me in a coffin
Before they ever see me fail
They gonn see me popping
Haters wishing for my downfall
Not gonn happen
Cause I am feeling hella confident
Positive, we gonn travel continents
Represent, everyone we left home
Feeling great when I write alone
"Sunshine where you been? "
On the microphone
Feeling in my zone
Spitting on a beat this fire
Bet after this drops
They gonn wanna retire
Came to the states inspired
Ready for a change
Just to peep around the world
It's really all the same
Power is the only thing
Controlling everything
Everything (Yeah)
Controlling everything
Power is the only thing
Controlling everything
Everything? (Damn)
Controlling everything (Ughh)

But listen
Never let power drive you
Better use the strength inside you
In a year they gonn ask
How can you see your values
Cause they blinded by the fact
They ain't got the stacks
Money is the root of all evil
That's a fact
We ain't treated equal
Specially if your black
If your brown they don't care
They just want you back
Straight where you came from
Throw you in a shack
We got kids in a cage
Waiting for anybody
to set them free
They don't get it
How they lost their mommy
The younger me was never
Dreaming of owning ferraris
I was dreaming of my island
Feeling like Hawaii
Imagine everyone building a bridge
Instead of flying
From one coast to the other
No walls no boarders
Newest world order
