Testo Deportation Nation - Big Mountain
Testo della canzone Deportation Nation (Big Mountain), tratta dall'album Deportation Nation
Aye, oh-yeah, ohh
I feel like I'm talking to the world right now
Listen up my people
I and I live in a deportation nation
I did my time upon the big plantation
I had my spot, but then my spot was taken
My reality shaken
Now everyone's talking (everyone's talking)
And history is watching
What will the angry man do? (What will the angry man do?)
When is he coming for you?
I brought the muscle
I built the nation
And then the system swallowed my pension
I raised the children
Taught them a language
Me never asked for nothing more
But I and I live in a deportation nation
That don't want to hear about no civilization
So they can round up the population
With no explanation
Right in front of our face
I reject the diseased mindset of your civilization
Deportation
Slave plantation
Campesino exploitation
Genocidal extermination
And mental colonization
First they came for the weakest among us
Those without a voice
That belong in the school bus
We let down the children
And history is watching
Bow your head down low (bow, bow, bow)
Don't let the feeling go, no
Que pasa gringo, I'm your amigo
Under the table, save some dinero
Don't want no trouble, Todo tranquilo
Your'e the one who runs the show
And I and I stuck in the land of broken treaties
Where the nightmare just keeps on repeating
And all that's sacred is disrespected
And now the settlers have been infected
It is a land that needs to cry
Needs a mama to hold
So much inside
The centuries of sorrow (centuries of sorrow)
The centuries of sorrow (centuries of sorrow)
Lock our children in cages
And they will reinvent our world
Redefine what it means to be a nation
You know not what you do
This steel is making us stronger
Our radical traditions are rooted in
How we live and love otherwise
Despite you, we bond with one another
Lock us up, deport or separate us
And we still find ways to connect
And we love radically and insurgently
A love that burns with the power of the sun
I and I live in a deportation nation
I did my time upon the big plantation
I had my spot, but then my spot was taken
My reality shaken
Now everyone's talking, talking
