China Cat
El despertar de los pueblos de América
Que vieron que se podía ser la Revolución
Pick it up Humboldt, to the beat of the China Cat
The music is loud and the rhythm is hot
We're happy to meet you on this plane of existence
All we ask of you is that you dance for an instant
Counterclockwise
We're Sancho V., yeah! We don't get political
We might get analytical on issues that inquire
Our social persistence, an example for instance
"Respect my existence, or expect my resistance"
Counterclockwise
Spiritual yoga to awaken to chakras
Meet me at the plaza and we'll jam on the congas
Hit up all the homies and we'll sip on some kombucha
Y ahora mi gente, baila esta cumbia
Vamos a bailar la cumbia del gato de la china
Sancho Villa no platica de política
Nuestra causa son los derechos de la gente
Y raíces del estado de la mente
Un saludo pa' nuestros compas Los Dune Bums
La neta esos Dune Bums se la rifan en Norte Cali
Why am I mad?
You know, white people ask me, why am I so angry?
And you know, I don't have an answer for them
Because it'd be ridiculous for me to answer him
Because he couldn't understand anyways
Obviously because he asked me the question
In America, democracy is hypocrisy
A country who inherited the genocide of the Native American peoples
A country which participated in chattel slavery
Hoy los jóvenes de México
Hemos encendido una luz en la vía pública del país
Los jóvenes decimos, presente
Our fathers didn't have the knowledge that we have
They sat through it
We've read the books of our Revolution
We've listened to... quotations
We know where we stand
We're not gonna sit for it
Our sweat and our blood
Has fallen on this land to make other men rich
La revolución es orden
Porque ele está cansado deste estado genocida
Aqui estou parado eu para dizer
Que não mais, não mais
A-, Anti-, Anticapitaliste
A-, Anti-, Anticapitaliste
El estado opresor, es un macho violador
No justice, no peace
No justice, no peace
Pas justice, pas paix
Pas justice, pas paix
Pas justice, pas paix
Nunca más silencio
Nunca más silencio
Hands up, don't shoot
Hands up, don't shoot
Tout le monde déteste la police
Tout le monde déteste la police
Y la culpa no era mía
Ni donde estaba
Ni como vestía
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Se ve, se siente
El pueblo esta presente
Se ve, se siente
El pueblo esta presente
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
Democracy simply doesn't work
Riots do not develop out of thin air
A riot is the language of the unheard
We feel that any society, or any government, or any system
That is set up solely to profit a wealthy class
While the majority of people twirl and suffer and sell their labor power
Then that society should not stand
It should be challenged
And overthrown
