América 21

In 'América 21,' Black Alien, also known as Gustavo, delivers a powerful and urgent message about the state of the world in the 21st century. The song opens with a vivid image of a city on fire, not from celebratory fireworks but from a more sinister source. This sets the tone for a narrative that is both personal and universal, as Black Alien positions himself as a warrior against the evils that plague society. He introduces himself as a first lieutenant on a mission to avenge the oppressed, highlighting his role as a defender of justice and truth.

The lyrics delve into themes of resistance and resilience, urging listeners to join him in the fight against corruption and malevolence. Black Alien's words are a call to arms, emphasizing the importance of not underestimating him based on his appearance or past struggles. He speaks of the need for constant vigilance and the balance he finds in his own rituals, such as smoking 'the green,' to maintain his spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity. The song also touches on the broader geopolitical landscape, referencing figures like Tony Blair, Saddam Hussein, George W. Bush, and Osama Bin Laden, and condemning the demonic forces he believes are in positions of power.

'America 21' is not just a critique of political leaders but a lament for the state of Latin America, which has been divided and exploited. Black Alien vows to 'sew the open veins of Latin America,' a reference to Eduardo Galeano's seminal work, 'Open Veins of Latin America,' which critiques the historical exploitation of the continent. The song's refrain, 'I won't let them destroy my America,' is a defiant declaration of his commitment to protecting his homeland and its future generations. The track concludes with a sense of urgency and a call for divine blessing, as Black Alien cancels the apocalypse, symbolizing his hope and determination to change the course of history.
