"People Of The Sun" lyrics

"People Of The Sun"

Yeah, people come up
Yeah, we better turn the bass up on this one

Check it, since fifteen hundred and sixteen, Mayans attacked and overseen
Now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream
With their borders and boots on top of us
Pulling knobs on the floor of their toxic metropolis

But how you gonna get what you need to get?
The gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like Tet
The fifth sun sets get back reclaim
The spirit of Cuauhtémoc, alive and untamed

Now face the funk now blasting out your speaker
On the one, Maya, Mexica
That vulture came to try and steal your name but now you got a gun
And this is for the people of the sun

It's coming back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's coming back around again, uh
It's coming back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's coming back around again, uh

Yeah, never forget that the whip snapped ya back
Your spine cracked for tobacc-oh, I'm the Marlboro Man, uh
Our past blasting on through the verses
Brigades of taxi cabs rolling Broadway like hearses

Troops stripping zoots, shots of red mist
Sailors' blood on the deck, come sister, resist
From the era of terror, check this photo lens
Now the City of Angels does the ethnic cleanse, uh

Heads bobbing to the funk out your speaker
On the one, Maya, Mexica
That vulture came to try and steal your name but now you found a gun
You're history
This is for the people of the sun

It's coming back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's coming back around again, yeah
It's coming back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's coming back around again

It's coming back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's coming back around again
It's coming back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's coming back around
Of the sun
