Cada-cada día yo veo la destrucción,
Cada-cada día yo veo la maldición
Cada-cada día yo veo la destrucción,
Cada-cada día yo veo la maldición

Won't it all, go away
Won't it all go away

This is-this is my world. This is-this your world,
If you believe in my heart

This is-this is my world, This is-this our world,
If we believe in our hearts

Press record cause here less is more
Than before everything in the store cost a quarter
Fast to forward, get it cam recorded
Now there's a bury that's born on every corner
Hot damn oh hear we go again
Got ammo to bust back--my trusty pen
The winds are rushed, the men and women of lust
And how long do we got till it breaks just depends
On whether rims the same price as gems life
Right becomes wrong, wrong becomes right
We fight for life, with the breeze blows swift
Everyday I get bigger than boxed wrap for Christmas
Some say why do I spit my story?
Tell him he saw me alone with mics talkin bout life
And you know just shootin the breeze
Humbly mumble to you people
Bout the birds and the bees
About the war over seas and they killin our trees
It aint gonna be nothin left if we hate gotta believe


. . .



A child looks up into my eyes, nothing to say.
An open hand with scars can hide the pain away.
What I can give is not enough to help him grow.
How can I fulfill his needs, embrace his soul?

The hope deep in his eyes are dreams he must let fly!
So sing this song with me.
This hopeful melody.

Just raise your head up and stand up, no fear in your eyes.
Tell me love and hope never die.
So raise your head up and stand up, no reason to cry.
'Cause your heart and soul will survive.

The child struggled to survive. Now he's a man.
With children of his own, he does the best one can.
He tries to live with love and not let sorrow grow,
even though he barely reaps all that he sows.

The hope deep in his eyes, are dreams he must let fly!
So sing this song with me
This hopeful melody.

Aledaya Aledeya

Oye! Chico! Tirate! Que Tirate!
Oye! Chica! Tirate! Que Tirate!

This for the b boys in the place who be breaking rockin ecko
Pnb the nation now its on ready set go
Let it be said dude with the dred is from the west coast
Linoleum what? My homies kill it like asbestos
Yeah i'm bout the cleanest of the grimys
Hold the mic and with the same hand do 1990s
Peace to radiotron don't stop you know its real
Being normal like a bunt so I do stunts when I windmill
and if you pose, you a faker
Peace to rock steady and the LA City breakers
replace electro lights with a shot of super socco
Nobody ever ticked like the homie poppin taco
Or my Uncle Pablo still pop on occasions
This is dedicated to the blacks, whites, and Asians
And my Latinos and my bambinos
Who refuse to be wack
Spin on they back for a c-note
Come on!

Throw ya hands in the air
Come on people keep em there
Got a fam fresh crew and I'm now for mayor
Cause its more to this track then the kick and the snare
We been all around the world trying to take you there
So say yeah!

Yeah today's the day aint it
Let your soul soar free above this world tainted
I dream a dream to some it seems faded
Where it don't even matter what color your skin's painted.
I windmilled in whales until I fainted
Before the record sales prevailed we was related
Like cousins and then the bling came
In the meantime we still grind for street fame
Like Chaka spray paint what I'm saying
When I was a baby I wrote graffiti with a crayon
My combos levitate like a séance
See the street signs so I'm embracing the chaos
Come on!

Get your hands up!
Get some!
Put your feet down!
Get on the floor!

World wide party people get ready
Let the beat ride, time to rock steady
Black-white-yellow, yellow-red to brown
Let's rock the planet
Everybody get down!

I heard her story from across the sea,
There was never one as fair, lovely as she.
With sun soaked skin and eyes of green,
with all kindness and grace of a queen.
I set sail into a cold, dark sky.
I had to see this beauty with my own eyes.
I crossed the ocean in a tiny ship
With her image in my mind and her name on my lips. I set.

I found her standing upon the shore.
She was everything I dreamed of and so much more.
I felt a love that I've never known
And I knew I had to make her my own.
She was light of the night. She was dark as the night.
I fell under her spell, couldn't tell wrong from right.
I set.

She breathed new life inside of me.
A whole new world she gave to me.
Surrendered all she had to me,
Even silver and gold.
All she asked was my soul.

How could I've know I'd been hypnotized.
There was more to my queen than first met the eye.
She had a chain of lovers who died her slaves
With a notion of blood for every drop that she gave.

I never thought she could break my heart
but all her contradictions are tearing me apart.
The secret she hides.
The beauty she flaunts
She'll stop at nothing just to get what she wants.

Who's to blame?
Who's the one who sparked the flame?
The victim who became part of the game?
We deal in murder for money, sex and fame.
The question remains the same: who's to blame?

Yo, my heart's torn as I watch my art form
Give plaques & charms to writers of wack poems
Divided attacks, tryin' to collapse this platform
In this rap, we detach from any distraction
Yes, sever the head of the evil music(meant to divide & confuse kids) the media spoon-feeds you
People who need you concede to your bluffin'
Parasitic poison unfit for human consumption
Why they focus on one of they crusades
While most of human life is as fragile as loose eggs
Vatican they paid for they role in the slave trade
So how can you place blame on the hate that hate made?
Secret political interests hide from view
You police the planet, but who protects us from you?
While wars are waged over pathetic turf
We elect leaders with no regard for planet earth

Who's to blame?
Who's the one who sparked the flame?
The victim who became part of the game?
We deal in murder for money, sex and fame.
The question remains the same: who's to blame?

Big credentials rollin' through my residential overplayed
People then members of presidential motorcades
Rollin' single-file like wheels on rollerblades
They think we'll bow, but their welcome is overstayed
I pull the cage on the grandest scale
Cause the man who fails to plan really plans to fail, for real
Flows they close and do stunts 'cause all they want's the wit of your ignorance
To bury a man's sanity can it be so simple?
Today's medics, genetically grown people
And where we had it pathetic where citizens give up their civil liberties
To officers of evil intent & devilish tendencies
While enemies join forces to endorse this mental extortion gone corporate
When will the corporate forfeit morbid acts on the helpless?
Ignoring facts 'til they selfish aristocrats who flex well in the time where sex sells
Their crime rhymes melt kids' minds like soft snails
Either you end up in jail or caught shells
But time blinds, help kids find their thoughts well, for real
The media's how they get too attached
To violent images permanent like Yakuza tattoos
They got shoes, relax the underwear
While adult messages traumatize the younger ear

Who's to blame?
Who's the one who sparked the flame?
The victim who became part of the game?
We deal in murder for money, sex and fame.
The question remains the same: who's to blame?

Rich rappers when you talk it, i hope you keep your topics
As deep as your pockets and use logic
The words kill before you have time to breathe
What the ears hear & the eyes see, the mind believes
While they hang you from your ankle and they take what falls
Citizens of this planet deserve a wake-up call
He who hides knowledge controls this grand scheme
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Who's to blame?
Who's the one who sparked the flame?
The victim who became part of the game?
We deal in murder for money, sex and fame.
The question remains the same: who's to blame?

Te estoy buscando

Yo veo, y siento motivos
De la dama que me tiene en delirio
Veo que sus ojos no son mios
En tiempo ella me dejara
No es justo, no vale, es mia
Juro que nadie mas la tendra
Parare, el destino
nadie mas, no no no, la tendra

Socorro, ayuda, auxilio
Ya no aguanto estos males dichos
Yo no se que paso conmigo
Yo no se si mi alma sanara
No paran, no calman, mis ansias
Siento que mi sangre ya me quema
No acabo, nuestro amor, hasta que yo diga, no no no
No acabo, nuestro amor, hasta que yo diga, no no no

Jugaste con mi vida, con mi cariño
Lograste volver loco a el hombre que a ti te amaba
Hasta el pobre nuevo perro que escogiste me da lastima
Al pensar de esta locura
no vales ni la plata que costo comprar las balas

No vales ni la plata, que costo comprar las balas
Eh-eh eh-eh
No vales ni la plata, que costo comprar las balas Eh-eh eh-eh
No vales ni la plata, que costo comprar las balas

Dip, dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip, dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip (dip), dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip, dive, socialize

Uhh, imagine
Waking up, solidarity is eveident
Harmony moves, time is irrelevant
People, the places, the message basic
From raise fists to sit-ins, resist the change
Peep the scenario, to the future bro
2020 and some number a year ago
People rose up, governments froze up
Worldwide block party, everybody shows up
Up on roof tops, ghettos and hot spots
People celebratin' no more souls rot
No more bloodshed over false defecit
Even hip-hop gets a fuckin face-lift
The latest fashion, stock market's crashin'
It's saturday, time to get the party crackin'
And if the time and the day is right
The revolution will begin this saturday night

Dip, dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip, dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip (dip), dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip, dive, socialize
Get ready

(Hey, hey, hey)
Futuristic, I'm killin 'em every synonym
Sendin' 'em back with syllabal venom up in 'em
Too terrific, epitome of a pendulum
Digital rap, got animal stamina in 'em
Son your soul, and backbone were the clap come from (clap)
Action Jackson, matter-fact we
Move you from the front to the back see
Plug us up and then bump this new phat beat
When it drop, stores oughtta stop on me
Shop 'till ya drop, homey that's not me
Rush an attack from the back on three
Stop on me, shout "World Peace!"
Slide from the block, love peace, oh please!
We don't need bouncers or police
It's saturday night, it's nothin' better
Spread the word, we comin' together
So come on with me now

Dip, dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip, dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip (dip), dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip, dive, socialize
Get ready

(HEYYYY YOU GUYS!)x4

Dip, dive, socialize

Dip, dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip (dip), dive, socialize
Get ready for the saturday night
Dip, dive, socialize

Santiago de Aztlan
Pienso que eres superman
En el sangre del mundo
En tus venas enteras
En tus venas enteras
Vive la historia de tu mama
Y también de tu papa
Por eso eres un Rey

Hago, hago, hago
Santiago de Aztlan

Santiago un pino hoy
Tu sentistes opresión
Por los lados del mundo
Sobrevives para el bien
Sobrevives con amor
Sobrevives con honor
Sobrevives con tu gente
Por eso eres un rey

Como vives tu vida
Será tu decisión
Abrasa lo bueno Santiago
Y escupe lo mal


. . .



mira ya viene el sol
florece se abre como una bella flor

calienta mi alma
y borra mi dolor
Con tu luz traes la vida
con tu calor das amor
pero calienta mi alma
y borra mi dolor
Con tu luz traes la vida
con tu calor das amor

Como una bella flor

como una bella flor

alumbra mi camino
y guía mi paso
Avanza pa yago
por siempre cumplirás

alumbra mi camino
y guía mi paso
avanza pa yago
por siempre cumplirás

Como una bella flor

mira ya viene el sol
ya ya ya viene el sol
florece, se abre
como una bella flor
quítame el dolor
bórrame el dolor
quítame el dolor
dame puro amor para que viva mejor

lindo sol, lindo sol

lindo sol dame amor para que viva mejor
lindo sol, lindo sol

quítame el dolor!
dame puro amor para que viva mejor!

Siempre cuando yo te vello caminando por la calle
Siempre digo oye amigo, no te dejes que te palle
Tú incluye tu forma, tan simple no azora
Ya ahora veo que tu forma mira que te no provocas
Tu forma de vivir, no se faltan o insulta

Siempre cuando yo te vello caminando por la calle
Siempre digo oye amigo, no te dejes que te palle
Tú incluye tu forma, tan simple no azora
Ya ahora veo que tu incluye mira que te no provocas
Tu forma de vivir, no se faltan o insulta

Nadie te tira, no no no, solo te tiras tu tu ru
Mira que toda la gente, que tonta la gente que sigue
Nadie te tira
Pero que tumba tumba, mira que nadie te tumba
Tu tu tu…pero que te tiras tu
Tu igual dices que tu confesé tu corazón
Tu corazón y tu mente

Nadie te tira
Mira te veo que tienes un nuevo
Pero Porque nadie importa tu sola tu compás
Pero acuerda te viene este historia

. . .


Cuando canto mi cancion, quiero inspirar mi gente con una solucion
Cuando despierto en la manana, se que tengo el poder para una dia triumfar
Cuando me acuesto en la noche, puedo mirar estrellas que me dan esperanza
Cuando sueno en la madrugada, ojala que mi trabajo no es temporal
Cuando demuestro mi corazon con mis aciones puedes entender que no soy hombre perfect no soy
pero trato mucho, trato decidir lo mas mejor para el mundo y lo pongo en una cancion
Cuando canto mi cancion
