[00:00.85]I like, making you so happy!
[00:05.38]Yo, life and debt, light a cigarette smoke the stress,
[00:08.07]take a deep breath baby, let's rearrange the mess we've inherited
[00:11.66]Alienated from what is rightfully yours and mine, land
[00:16.17]is life, money is time paid for labor
[00:18.86]Working eight to five, sometimes six seven eight
[00:21.62]we come home and barely know the neighbors
[00:24.31]Bills are usually late
[00:25.25]Interest accumulates at a usury rate
[00:27.94]Collection agency waits from
[00:30.68]Pay check to next one, budget like a noose
[00:33.26]Working while we sing the proletariat blues
[00:36.09]On 501-C3 community plantations,
[00:39.62]non profit sector propped up to kill the movement
[00:42.38]for the changes in production relations
[00:45.03]But woman you're my comrade, ride and die, revolution-making mother earth
[00:49.58]standing with me in the grocery line
[00:52.25]While I'm paying with a jar of pennies, nickels and dimes
[00:54.93]And I love how you don't like art without a message
[00:57.67]I love it how you call some fellas on they fetish
[01:01.27]Third world sister, never sacrificing substance for style
[01:04.86]But stylish with a golden type smile
[01:07.56]I love it how you organize with other strong sisters
[01:10.26]Love it how you talk about tearing down the system
[01:13.86]Like a soldier, my dialectical reflection,
[01:16.56]yes is the answer to your question.
[01:20.12]Life and debt, write another check to the landlord,
[01:22.89]no time to dwell on all the things we can't afford
[01:26.43]got a baby in the womb, a soldier for the future that we're fighting for
[01:30.05]concrete conditions that I'm writin for
[01:32.74]the payback, it's way past due
[01:34.58]and they say that the masses ain't ready but
[01:37.23]We know that ain't true,
[01:39.02]you and I both children of Filipino immigrants
[01:41.74]from the same island, our ancestors smiling,
[01:45.30]Cuz we found one another in a strange land struggling
[01:48.08]Moms tryin' to tell us not to protest instead pray for peace,
[01:51.67]But that ain't the nature of the beast
[01:53.42]So lady grab a bullhorn and take it to the streets
[01:57.03]Yellin power to the people, el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
[02:01.52]Til the wealth is spread equal
[02:03.31]You 21st century Gabriela Silang
[02:06.99]Fierce like Lorena with a rifle in her arm
[02:09.61]And I love how you love the people as much as self
[02:13.23]I love it how you want redistribution of the wealth
[02:15.97]Third world sister, never sacrificing substance for style
[02:18.65]But stylish with a golden type smile
[02:22.22]I love it how you organize with other strong sisters
[02:25.92]Love it how you talk about tearing down the system
[02:28.58]Like a soldier, my dialectical reflection, yes is the answer to your question
[02:34.90]Life and debt
[02:35.70]I like, making you so happy!
[02:41.14]I like, making you so happy!
[02:46.66]I like, making you so happy!
[02:52.96]Cuz making you so happy makes me happy too!
