El Ritmo Contra Gitmo, feat. Karina Nistal
By Free Radicals
Can I send help to my family?
Or should I wait
On your cold war priorities?
Do you think that
it’s those in power you’re punishing?
It’s the poorest kids
they don’t need your admonishing.
Nuestra gente tienen duda
sobre el embargo de Cuba.
Los pobres necesitan ayuda
pero hay un embargo de Cuba.
¿Opresión? Veo una suba
Con este embargo de Cuba.
La lucha sera dura
contra el embargo de Cuba.
100 miles from Florida to Havana
10 million souls
outside Pax Americana
It’s been 60 years
Since your porcine invasion,
And you’re still here,
with your enhanced interrogations.
Esta guantanamera tiene ritmo
Contra la tortura en Gitmo.
Estas enamorado de ti mismo
Con tu tortura en Gitmo.
Free Radicals tienen ritmo
Contra la tortura en Gitmo.
avergüénzate de ti mismo
Con tu tortura en Gitmo.
Detention of old men and children
and innocents
Without rights, costing millions.
“Land outside the law”
for your covert experiments.
We see the truth, and we
reject your arguments.
Guantánamo tiene ritmo
contra la tortura en Gitmo.
Houston Tejas tiene ritmo
contra la tortura en Gitmo.
Sister Ayanna tiene ritmo
contra la tortura en Gitmo.
Los Pastores tienen ritmo
contra la tortura en Gitmo.
Lucius Walker tiene ritmo
contra la tortura en Gitmo.
Desmond Tutu tiene ritmo
Contra la tortura en Gitmo.
Gloria Rubac tiene ritmo
contra la tortura en Gitmo.
Mi gente tiene ritmo
Contra la tortura in Gitmo.
Crímenes de guerra ha habido,
Si, se ha decidido
Crímenes de guerra ha habido,
Si, se ha decidido

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Biden sent Harris to visit the border yearning for a photo op,
But the words she said reminded us of Trump --
"Do not come. Do not come," said Kamala to the cameras.
"Take your tired poor huddled asses back wherever the hell they came from"

Pokke Koebes: English translation
They stuck out like Spyker tjappies
Over the ocean in droves, mercantile traders with an appetite for grabbing and taking
The bible plus bullet iron was used devisively
The tribes were annihilated with genocide… What a scheme!
Indépendant nations had to integrate with slaves
A Cul-de-sac socially ruled by caucasian vultures
The recipe for white supremacy traps the mind
With the concept that we exist as lesser beings
My complex language was butchered
My world of knowledge stuffed in safes under lock and key
The dop system, another damn stoke of genius that destroyed us
Leaders were crippled with gold and trinkets
Blindly cheated for ages, gutted by notes in books
Dismissed as non-humans
My culture feeds your people’s fashion and institutions
But what you give is a smallpox blanket, beer and bootse
Violence is the sport supported by a disproportionate greed
Of your lacking pigmentation!
The branching out of the burgeoise creates a bloody road over the timeline
My blood speaks under the architecture of corporations
Alongside Da Gama’s spice route and mines along the West Coast
I navigate through a racist pandemic
Every conflict sustains the damage
Let’s break out!
The film is live and the villain is on the move in the Wild West with Droster, Korana and Maroon
Descendants deny and avoid the misdeeds of their forefathers’ total wipeout of my roots
Profilers that take my diamonds and gold
Divide us from each other by the hair and the stroke of a pen
But here it is now, what are you gonna do if I blast through your camouflage?
Try to pigeonhole the Cape again!
Schemer that cloaks his image as oppressor
Melanin deficient mission all over the globe, barely an exit
I live stream Free Radical emcee
My flagpole is planted in your capital’s nexus
The future is indigenous and that’s why the scientist is studying my DNA
Bombit sideways, the architect mouth makes you stargaze
It’s that time
We tap the network, you understand?
POKKE KOEBÊS
(Jitsvinger)
Hulle’t ytgestiek soes spyker tjappies,
Oor die see in skyre, mercantile traders met ‘n appetite vir gryp en vat
Die bybel plus skiet yster was gebruik devisively
Tribes was vernietig met genocide… what a scheme!
Inheemse nasies moes integreer met die slawe
‘n Cul-de-sac socially ruled deur Caucasian vultures
Die resep vir white supremacy trap die mind
Met ‘n konsep dat ons exist as lesser beings
My kompleks tong was opgekerf,
My bron van kennis in kettings gedompel agter slot en grendel
Die dopstelsel, nogge damn stroke of genius wat ons verniel’it,
Leaders was gecripple met goud en trinkets
Blindelings geflous vir eeue, vermink deur notes in boeke
Dismissed as non-humans
My culture feed jou volk se fashion en institutions
Maar wat jy gee is ‘n pokke koebês, bier en bootse
Geweld is die sport gesupport deur ‘n disproportionate vraatsig
Van jou pigmentasie tekort!
Die uitbrieding vannie bourgeoise create feitlik ‘n bloed pad oor’ie tydlyn
My bloed praat onder die architecture van korporasies
Langs Da Gama se spice route en myne langs die Weskus
Ek navigate deur’ie racist pandemic
Elke konflik sustain die damage
Laat ons opskud!
(Jitsvinger)
Die film is live ennie villain is oppie move innie Wilde Weste met Droster, Korana en Maroon
Descendants deny en avoid misdeeds van hul voorvaders se total wipe-out van my roots
Profilers wat my goud en my diamonds vat
Divide ons van mekaar by die hare met die stroke vannie pen
But hiersit nou, wat gaan jy maak as ek blaas deur jou camouflage?
Try om die kaapenaar te pigeon-hole again!
Schemer wat sy image cloak as oppressor
Melanin deficient mission oor’ie globe, skaars ‘n exit
Ek live stream free radikaal emcee
My vlagpaal is geplant in jou kapitaal se nexus
Die toekoms is indigenous en daai is hoekom die scientist my DNA ondersoek
Bomb’it sideways, die Argitekbek laat jou stargaze
Dis daai tyd!
Koenak ôs die network, verstaan jy?

Free Radicals Houston, Texas
Free Radicals sends a new collection of Palestine solidarity and anti-genocide music to the world, and to our rapper and
friend Beesh in Gaza.
Without a phone, electricity, food or water, and with bombs dropping all around him and his daughter, we hope he's still alive and not in pain.
