Alzo Mi Voz

Rap out of necessity
I demand
I raise my voice, I have no master
They can't silence me
This rap is essential, we are
To rap, there are plenty of excuses
The same examples from life
Aren't based on any text
Look at the face
Of my poisoned people
For the sake of their families
Many of them have stayed quiet
And what hurts me the most
Is that they criticize what I do
I don't do it just for me
But for those who are drowning
I don't sing just to sing
Or to have a pretty voice
Less to entertain a bourgeois
I sing out of necessity
For strength
For reason
I sing so my people
Can be free from oppression
I sing your pain
My pain
And everyone’s
Because all for one
And one for all
These aren't just words
In my songs
This is my speech
And on the street, actions run
I sing for the faceless
The nameless
The nobody
Those whom many discriminate
Their existence ends
I sing for the kids
For children's rights
For the homeowner
For the neighborhood council
To invent and redirect
To organize reforms
I sing for women
Great beings
I sing for the Mapuches
Students
For those who fight
For the Tehuelches
For the Picunches
And for everyone who listens to me
I sing for the worker
For the popular communes
I sing out of initiative
And great needs
For those who emancipate
For those who participate
For those who give their lives for freedom
And not submission
We have the enemy
As our witness
It's just one
And not the one next door
I sing against indifference
Like Violeta Parra
Who poured out her wisdom
Along with her guitar
I sing rage
Wise rebellion
We cultivate hate
Even after thousands of episodes
My people suffer
And feel no joy
What an irony it would be to sing for sympathy
We are not the minority
We are more than them
We have enough strength
To overcome them
And I raise my voice
Not for free time
Who said an MC was useless?
And not for being a woman
Am I limited to the kitchen?
If my role is to defend
My mom told me that yesterday
I sing for my people
I sing for my family
I denounce with my rap
It gives me strength
And brings me peace
Rap out of necessity
And not for free time
Who said an MC was useless?
