Loiza

Listen
This is for my town
With love from Abayarde
With DJ Adam and Cachete
The bold one of the drums
For my town, that I love so much
From Calderón to all of Loiza, listen

I walk without hurry, but your slowness angers me
And those who don't deal with Loiza (no, they don't deal!)
They want to make me think I'm part of a racial trilogy
Where everyone is the same, without special treatment

I know how to forgive, it's you who doesn't know how to apologize
So, how do you justify so much wrong?
It's because your history is shameful among other things
You traded chains for handcuffs

Not all of us are equal in legal terms
And that's proven in the courts
Justice is obtained with cascajos (listen)
That's why we are how we are

If there's no money for a lawyer
The state provides one, but, brother
He takes you where he brought you, they kill you and don't draw
The cage floods, legal sentence is second defense

There will never be justice without equality
Damn evil that destroys humanity
Because protesting will take away my freedom
If I don't recognize their authority

There will never be justice without equality
Damn evil that destroys humanity
Because protesting will take away my freedom
And I don't belong to their society

Hypocrites, vanity, falsehood in quantity
There's a lot of everything without happiness
I have nothing, just this pissed-off verse
And the ability to not believe in your truth

Who else would think
To saturate the minds of innocent children
With inconsistent, manipulated education
Viciously manipulated
Convenience of the prominent of the wealthy

In the past, they healed, abused, and I
I refuse to pretend I didn't know
They say things have changed
Don't fall asleep, the abnormal walk with sticks

And I've heard Ruben Berrios advocate for mine
That's why I trust none of them
Everyone with Vieques, my black town doesn't suffer
Because you think they deserve it

Little by little, little black one, get clever
Live proudly, it's all-powerful like us
For those kids who think they're better because of their professions
Or for having features of their oppressors

If a good mother doesn't harm her child
Bastards, bootlickers, to hell with Spain
I am a kid, proud of my roots
Of having a big mouth and big noses
Not even suffering stops us from being happy
That's why God blesses us

There will never be justice without equality
Damn evil that destroys humanity
Because protesting will take away my freedom
If I don't recognize their authority

And I don't know why (tell me)
And I don't get involved with anyone
(Nah, I'm calm, you know how it is)
And there's always a fool's song
That disrespects one
And I don't know why

Boricua
This is Abayarde
Bringing it how it is
Hitting hard
To wake up my people

Listen, how beautiful is my Loiza
Look how beautiful it is
DJ Adam, we're out
