Explosión AKA X-Plosion

Listen, there was a time when I
I stood in front of the mirror and said like this
One, two, three, hum

Today you come to tell me that you feel good
That you are no longer faithful to heroin
But you look thin and confused, hum
Asking for money on every corner

I don't intend to give you a long sermon
No, no, no, no, no
What would it be worth if it depends on you
Listen, mulatto, react and seek God
Yes, yes, yes
Let's see if this world finally understands

Auh, listen to what a bembé is
I come as an explosion so you can understand
Auh, listen to what a bembé is
It's a message of love, don't let it fall

Explosion, for everyone who fires a cannon
Explosion, don't get it wrong, that's not the mission
If your boss gives you a weapon to be a hitman
That's not a friend, that's a dictator

Last night you went out to shoot
But now tell me how you're going to escape
If they can reach your same point
And if you shoot a (Boom!) that you won't be able to dodge

So
Stop the fire
Stop the fire
Stop the fire, now

Because all the neighborhoods need peace, you know
Stop the fire
Stop the fire
Stop the fire, now

And remember well what your mother suffered
So that nothing was missing, she gave you everything
And remember well how she raised you
She didn't teach you to kill people

Auh, listen to what a bembé is
I come as an explosion so you can understand
Auh, listen to what a bembé is
It's a message of love, don't let it fall

Tell me, the people of the local government
If they are going to make their own decisions
Without any other nation to command us
Without any of the corrupt ones to come and assassinate us

If we continue to depend on aid
In the lower class we will undoubtedly remain
So all my people show it
That we are humble but well trained

And if you remember the Vietnam War
That was just a business, as they always happen
For the sale of weapons that come and go
And all the veterans are destroyed

Neither I nor my people will allow
Nuclear bombs to be stored in my country
Turning my nation into a battlefield
Will make us explode and cross the line

Auh, listen to what a bembé is
I come as an explosion so you can understand
Auh, listen to what a bembé is
It's a message of love, don't let it fall

Explosion, for women who don't want to understand
Explosion, what's inside has to be born
If your mother endured to give birth later
Then why can't you do it

How much is it?
Two hundred, three hundred or more?
How much is your child worth?
What price are you going to pay?

For the people who, as a business
What they do is destroy
What God sent
So that it could live

And I don't understand why they value
Social position and also color
Listen, racist, love is more powerful
Than your stupid insistence on having control

Anyway, in the future you won't be able to avoid
That your daughter will marry a black man
And I am not of high social position
But her son wants to buy my cassette

Auh, listen to what a bembé is
I come as an explosion so you can understand
Auh, listen to what a bembé is
It's a message of love, don't let it fall

Explosion

Today I come to tell you that I feel good
That I am no longer faithful to heroin
And the reason is that I serve a Living Christ
Because he has given me the best medicine

And I repeat to you, it's not a long sermon
No, no, no, no
The reason is a fire that ignites my heart
Listen, mulatto, react and do as I do
Yes, yes, yes
Let's see if that way you finally understand
