      The footprints of our shoes were already there
      You stole even the cat's food
      And you're still licking the plate
      Super pissed off with this ungrateful bunch
      Today I hit the drums hard
      Until they accuse me of mistreatment
      If you don't understand the fact
      Well, I throw it at you as cumbia, bossa nova, tango or vallеnato
      As calabó or bamboo, highly defiant
      With hot blood as Timbuktu
      We're insidе the menu
      2Pac is called 2Pac, because of Túpac Amaru of Peru
      America isn't only the USA, pal
      This is from Tierra del Fuego to Canada
      You have to be so stupid, such an airhead
      It's like saying that Africa is only Morocco
      These scoundrels forgot that the calendar they use
      Was invented by the Mayans
      With the pre-Columbian Valdivia for a long time, uh
      This continent walks
      But even with all the marines
      They can't get the peasant plague out off the showcase
      This goes for the boss of the company
      The machete isn't just for cutting cane
      It's also for cutting heads
      
      Here we are, we always are
      We haven't left, we won't leave
      Here we are, so that you remember
      If you want it, my machete bites
      
      The paramilitaries, the guerrillas
      The children of the conflict, the gangs
      The blacklists, the false positives
      The murdered journalists, the disappeared
      The narco-governments, everything they stole
      Those who manifest and those who were forgotten
      The persecutions, the coups
      The bankrupt country, the exiles
      The devalued peso
      The drug trafficking, the cartels
      The invasions, the immigrants without papers
      Five presidents in eleven days
      Close range shooting at the hands of the police
      More than a hundred years of torture
      The Nova Trova singing in the midst of a dictatorship
      We are the blood that blows
      The atmospheric pressure
      Gambino, my brother, this really is America```
