English Translation
We are oppressed, we are exploited, we are downtrodden
We are denied not only civil rights, but even human rights
So the only we’re going to get some of this oppression and exploitation away from us or aside from us
Is come together against a common enemy
Yeh, I’m part of this problem if I don’t talk about these topics
People is tired of the police abuse
Human, I encourage you to defend your rights
Though they discriminate me, I’m always standing out
Year 2020 and racism is still alive
When will it end? Only God decides
Martin Luther King died, his legacy remains
I was born the same day as him, maybe he (?) my music
There’s no race, social level or preference that divide us
For my ideals I’d give my life
They abused us when we were slaves, we never forget that
That food’s not missing, the necessity forces you
I’m proud of being black, people know how I am
Rest in peace George Floyd, ah
Every night I put on my kness and Thank God for where I place
If they play dirty then it will become like Idiana vs Detroit
Rest in peace El Black Mamba, we’re in the final times
I let myself be carried away by the signs that the Lord sends
Puerto Rico governs by itself, sorry Wanda
I do my propaganda by my own
The Jordans in the Last Dance, the fans are getting more
Who’s talking is the Panter from Wakanda
When you focus and progress then they say that you changed
I hope that everyone that abuses of his power, the karma attacks him, haha
Oh, job opportunity to these who were in prison
If not, they’re going to end on the same way, count on it
I think it’s time to make a salary increase for teachers
And everybody who’s wrapped in the healthcare system
I’m not René, I’m from Puerto Rico I’m a resident
My people, seriously I apologize for my following words
I want to f**k the president’s daughter or wife
So that because of me they like n**gas forever
They call me Michael X, I represent those who are not here
This f**king quarantine gets me impatient
I’m sounding in your car and in the opp’s area
You gotta talk on my level, you cannot play dumb
What I feel I can’t only save it
Ey, I’m using my platform to promote equality
What’s gonna happen? Only God knows
If he gave you the change to choose between the heaven or hell? Seriously, where would you go?
As I say one thing, I say another one
Cop who does his job great, then his job must be recognized
But the code is always the same, this is “Cosa Nostra”
Loose lips sink ships
Without papers we’re crossing the border line
But to my family the food can’t be missing
I gotta take the risk, I don’t care if I’m deportee
There’s nothing bad about fall, the problem is when you don’t stand up
Ah, and to throw it in white and black, at the end, we all are humans
We better get together
If friendship were a boat, it could be that we all sink
God, sorry for making money from the mundane
You know that we don’t judge
When it’s time to show they know that we’re not playing
But you are still pending how much I earn
And when the Twin Towers were crashed I was in fourth grade
I got mad and say: “It was the goverment?”
I leave you bankrupt if you bet against me
We gotta do the shackles break
And I don’t care about the fame or the recognition
The awards we get and the ranges they put us
If I fall, then you celebrate, I like seeing how they get glad
The pretty faces of my black people
I always showed my hands if I threw rocks
And now when I drop an album all the world shakes
Ey, it’s enough
Lyke Mike comin’ soon
Spanish Lyrics
We are oppressed, we are exploited, we are downtrodden
We are denied not only civil rights, but even human rights
So the only we’re going to get some of this oppression and exploitation away from us or aside from us
Is come together against a common enemy
Yeh, soy parte del problema si esto’ tema’ no lo’ saco
El pueblo se cansó ya del abuso policíaco
Humano, a defender tus derechos yo te sonsaco
Aunque me discriminen, yo como quiera resalto
Año 2020 y aún el racismo sigue
¿Cuando va a acabarse esto? Solo Dios decide
Martin Luther King murió, su legado vive
Nací el mismo día que él, puede que mi música él vire
No hay raza, nivel social o preferencia que nos divida
Por mis ideale’ yo doy la vida
Abusaron cuando eramo’ esclavos, eso nunca se no’ olvida
Que no falte la comida, la necesidad te obliga
Orgulloso de ser negro, la gente sabe cómo soy
Que en paz descanse George Floyd, ah
Toa’ la’ noches me arrodillo porque gracia’ a Dio’ estoy donde estoy
Si juegan sucio va pasar como Indiana contra Detriot
Que en paz descanse El Black Mamba, estamo’ en tiempo finale’
Me dejo llevar por la’ señale’ que el Señor manda
Puerto Rico se gobierna solo, sorry, Wanda
Yo mismito me encargo de hacer mi propaganda
Los Jordan’ en el Last Dance, la base de fanáticos se agranda
Está hablando la pantera de Wakanda
Cuando uno se enfoca y progresa dicen que cambia
Ojalá to’ el que abuse del poder lo ataque el karma, jaja
Oh, oportunidad de empleo pa’ los que salgan de preso’
Si no van a salir a lo mismo, cuenten con eso
Pienso que es tiempo de subirle el sueldo a lo’ maestro’
Y a to lo’ que al sistema de salud están envuelto’
No soy René, pero de P.R. soy residente
Mi gente seriamente disculpen por lo siguiente
Quiero clavarme la hija o la mujer del presidente
Pa’ que por mi culpa le gusten lo’ negro’ pa’ siempre
Me dicen Michael X, represento a lo’ ausente’
Esta cabr*na cuarentena me tiene impaciente
‘Toy sonando en tu canto y en la área adyacente
Al nivel mío hay que hablar, no puede el loco hacerte
Lo que siento, no lo puedo guardar
Ey, mi plataforma, estoy usándola pa’ fomentar la igualdad
¿Qué va a pasar? Solamente Dio’ sabrá
Si él te dijera escoger pa’ entrar al cielo o al infierno, en serio, ¿a cuál va’?
Como digo una cosa, digo la otra
Guardia que haga su trabajo bien hay que hacer que se le reconozca
Pero el código sigue siendo el mismo, esta e’ “cosa nostra”
En boca cerrada e’ imposible que entren mosca’
Sin papele’ cruzamo’ frontera’, entramo’ por la costa
Pero a mi familia no le puede faltar la compra
Me tengo que arriesgar, no me importa si me deportan
No e’ malo uno caer, el problema e’ si no remontas
Ah, y pa’ traerla en blanco y negro, al final somo’ humano’
E’ mejor que no’ unamo’
Si la amistad fuera un barco puede ser que lo hundamo’
Dio’, perdón por yo hacer dinero de lo mudano
Tú sabe’ que no juzgamo’
A la hora ‘e demostrar ellos saben que no jugamo’
Pero siguen pendiente a cuánto gano
Y cuando tumbaron la’ Torre Gemela’ yo estaba como en cuarto grado
Me entró malicia, dije: “Eso fue el gobierno, ¿a cuánto vamo’?”
Te dejo en bancarrota si tú apuesta’ en mi contra
Hay que hacer que la’ cadenas se rompan
Y a mí sin cojone’ me tienen la fama ni que me reconozcan
Lo’ premio’ que no’ otorgan, lo’ rango’ que no’ colocan
Si caigo ustede’ celebran, me gusta ver cómo se alegran
La’ cara’ linda’ de mi gente negra
Yo siempre enseñaba la’ mano’ si tiraba piedra’
Y ahora cuando tiro un disco to’a la tierra tiembla
Ey, ya, ya, ya, ya
Lyke Mike comin’ soon
