lirik lagu v.3.r.b.z - afro latino
afro~latino
verse 1
see i’m dominican but recognize the blackness within my skin
it goes back to africans shipped to the caribbean
to a land columbus didn’t discover
a mix of spanish, black and indian gave me this color
thanks to my pops and my mother, for never having any hate in ‘em
but even growing up in new york i’ve felt racism
i’ve seen these same systems had to do the knowledge
growing up in wash heights the finest drug dealer college
and in the melting pot, i learned alot
and so much of my education i got through hip~hop
and felt the ill connection as i quickly discovered
that blacks and latinos in this country are like brothers
so it was no wonder when i started to see clear yo
that malcolm x and martin were also my heroes
thinking to myself, how did he overcome it
when i read the narrative of the life of fredrick douglass
it had me bugging and made me realize
how hard they try to shackle truly free black minds
so i gotta pack mine and in my people keep my faith strong
and keep fighting in the name of those like trayvon
tamir rice, sandra bland and philando
michael brown, walter scott, eric garner d~mn so
many to name when will it ever cease
that’s why i stand with colin kaepernick when he takes a knee
hook:
yo i’m proud to be dominican but i recognize the fact
that being afro~caribbean also means that i’m black
so i stand with kap and look up to ali
and hold my fist up like john carlos and tommie
i don’t only use
february to honor and praise
should be our month all year, this country built by slaves
i keep it real each day tryna survive them daggers
shouldn’t have to remind america that black lives matter!
verse 2
don’t even argue with me save your lungs
just listen to latin music hear the rhythm and the drums
that comes from… the land called africa
fascism is so wack i won’t have it nah
this a call to action ya’ll its time to unify
the power of the people is what we gotta utilize
if the two combine we can balance out the majority
and fight for equality just the way it outta be
who’s the authority that don’t see color?
only way that we can win is if we help each other
so i reach for the stars when i’m speakin these bars
build my own pyramids as i was told by k. lamar
…and call the sh~t hii power!
elevate your mind make your wits climb towers
my gift is i empower using speech over beats
it’s a black art form that began in the streets
with passion i speak and will never stay silent
martin said the voice of the unheard is a riot
and in this climate our thoughts are the weapons
you know that some people worry as we learn new lessons
but never can they threaten, the plan that we working on
we came before columbus ask ivan van sertima
and i’m certain of the words of james brown
so imma say it loud i’m black and i’m proud!
