El otro dia yo vi un hombre
un hombre feo, parece chango
esta peludo hasta la barrigay
en su espalda parece bosque
Pero ay feo, feo
que feo chango
Miralo (repeat)

[Chorus]
We see a coming war
We see a coming war

Now
Can you imagine this world with no oppression?
And no need to dabble in greed and transgression
The solution for murder and prostitution
Never glorify this pollution on television
Corrupt an entire nation
Explicit images
Never freeing Mumia regardless of proven innocence
Turning to crime and not using intelligence
What makes me wonder sometimes are we in hell or
Inches away from confronting the powers that be
Saw in seconds what has taken some hours to see
Temps is hot enough to melt a bullion
More than a million people are ready
For rebellion
This shit is ill
Sun set to the crack of dawn
If you're black or blonde
Uncle Sam is robbing you blind and putting shackles 'pon
The minds of your children for real son
Beware this system and go to war with this institution.

They see a coming war
They see a coming war

They expect those of us who peep to not see
Medical benefits should be cheap if not free (right?)
The richest people are those without morals
Cuz once they get inside they tend to keep the door closed
Lord knows they killing us quick and clean
]From baseheads to people addicted to nicotine
Man-made diseases where skin cells corrode
To ones where if infected you die from common colds
Economical foes they pose the true threat
Using your tax dollars to sell and produce death
What's left?
We got guns and drug trafficking
Government will be backing
And blaming Latin and African brothers for dirty work done
The shit they do not only hurts young
But it's provoking revolutionary circum-
Stances
Slow like molasses
This is a message to the masses
Never ass kiss

[Chorus]

Emergency, emergency, evacuate the premises immediately
Emergency, emergency

Now
Open your ear
Cause slavery will appear
When corporate cutthroats control your career
The treats of life are toned and ain't no way the ripple fix
Beware the microchip that replaces the triple six
Which one?
Are you a soldier who fights against fraud
Or pawns in this game on this government's chess board?
The signs are clearly defined
It's merely your mind state
Wars coming my people so stay awake

We be the untraditional metaphorically medicinal
2nafishypoo decibal peaks be my ritual

Mi madre y mi padre son de la tierra
todos que estamos aqui tambien son de la tierra
Michelle y mi Alma tambien son de la tierra
y tambien Santiago el nuevo es de la tierra

Aqui no existe la tristeza
solo existe la alegriaes
el baile de los queridos
de los queridos del pasado
mira como baila mi mama
bailando con mi hermano del pasado
sus espiritus se juntan bailando
lleno de alegria y gozando

Cumbia, Cumbia (repeat)

Sierta gente solo puede ver
espiritus bailando entre la gente
si pueden verlos bailando mis hermanos
seran bendicidos entre los cielos
mira como baila mi mama
bailando con mi hermano del pasado
sus espiritus se juntan bailando
lleno de alegria y gozando

Cumbia, Cumbia (repeat)

Chali's Rap:

As sure as your heart muscle rests in your chest cavity
we ask god to bless these festivities
yet, this hostility felt between you and me stops
opportunity given to spread unity
2na be rhythmically wiping sadness clear
reggae cumbia mixtures create this atmosphere
people packin cheer simply cuz these songs show depth
giving shouts to these victims of wrongful death
now, soon as we
