Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Since 1516 minds attacked and overseen
Now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream
With their borders and boots on top of us
Pullin' knobs on the floor of their toxic metropolis
Well how ya gonna get what you need ta get?
Tha gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like Tet
When the fifth sun sets get back reclaim
Tha spirit of Cuauhtémoc alive an untamed
Now face tha funk now blastin' out ya speaker
On the one Maya, Mexica
That vulture came ta try and steal ya name
But now you got a gun
This is for the people of the sun
[Verse 2]
It's comin' back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's comin' back around again
It's comin' back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's comin' back around again
[Verse 3]
Neva forget that
Tha whip snapped ya back ya spine cracked
For tobacc- oh I'm the Marlboro Man
Our past blastin' on through tha verses
Brigades of taxi cabs rollin' Broadway like hearses
Troops strippin' zoots, shots of red mist
Sailors' blood on tha deck, come sista resist
From tha era of terror check this photo lens
Now tha City of Angels does tha ethnic cleanse
Heads bobbin' to that funk out ya speaker
On tha one Maya, Mexica
That vulture came ta try an steal ya name
But now you found a gun... you are history
This is for the people of the sun
[Verse 4]
It's comin' back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's comin' back around again
It's comin' back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's comin' back around again
[Verse 5]
It's comin' back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's comin' back around again
It's comin' back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's comin' back around
...of the sun
