A Step Back in Humanity: Frank T's Call for Justice
Frank T's song "Un Paso Atrás N La Humanidad" is a powerful critique of societal injustices and the regression of humanity. The lyrics, delivered in a mix of Spanish and French, highlight the pervasive issues of corruption, war, racism, and hypocrisy. The song opens with a collaboration between Frank T and Gad, setting a confrontational tone against those who exploit and oppress the vulnerable. The imagery of wolves in a sheepfold and the cultivation of war to harvest peace underscores the paradoxical and often violent nature of societal progress.
The chorus, "Un paso atrás en la humanidad" (A step back in humanity), serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of losing our moral compass. Frank T emphasizes that the past leaves its mark, and without knowledge and awareness, humanity is doomed to repeat its mistakes. The verses delve into the dangers of power and pride, criticizing leaders who prioritize wealth and control over justice and equality. The reference to the dictator's copper toilet and the plight of emigrants fleeing poverty and violence paints a stark picture of the disparities and suffering caused by greed and mismanagement.
John Deido's verse adds another layer to the song, drawing parallels to the speeches of Malcolm X and the ongoing struggle for justice. The call to action is clear: unity and resistance are necessary to combat the forces that decompose lives and perpetuate suffering. The song's multilingual approach and its raw, unfiltered delivery make it a compelling anthem for those who seek to challenge the status quo and advocate for a more just and humane world.
