          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```
