Life & Debt

I like... making you so happy!

Yo, life and debt, light a cigarette smoke the stress,

Take a deep breath baby, let's rearrange the mess we've

Inherited

Alienated from what is rightfully yours in my land

Is life, money is time paid for labor

Working eight to five, sometimes six seven eight

We come home and barely know the neighbors

Bills are usually late

Interest accumulates at a usury rate

Collection agency waits from

Pay check to next one, budget like a noose

Working while we sing the proletariat blues

On 501-C3 community plantations,

Non profit sector propped up to kill the movement for

The changes in production relations

But woman you're my comrade, ride and die, revolution-

Making mother earth

Standing with me in the grocery line

While I'm paying with a jar of pennies, nickels and

Dimes

And I love how you don't like art without a message

I love how you call some fellas... femme-ish (?)

Third world sister, never sacrificing substance for

Style

But stylish with a golden type smile

I love how you organize with other strong sisters

Love how you talk about tearing down the system

Like a soldier, my dialectical reflection, yes is the

Answer to your question

Life and debt, write another check to the landlord,

No time to dwell on all the things we can't afford

Gotta baby in the womb, a soldier for the future that

We're fighting for

Concrete conditions that are fighting for (?)

The payback, it's way past due

And they say that the masses ain't ready but

We know that ain't true, you and I both children of

Filipino immigrants from the same island, our ancestors

Smiling,

Cuz we found one another in a strange land struggling

Moms tryin' to tell us not to protest instead pray for

Peace,

But that ain't the nature of the beast

So lady grab a bullhorn and take it to the streets

Yellin power to the people, el pueblo unido, hamas and

Abansito

Til the wealth is spread equal

You 21st century Gabriela Salaw

Pierced like Lorena with a rifle in the arm

And I love how you love the people as much as self

I love that how you want redistribution of the wealth

Third world sister, never sacrificing substance for

Style

But stylish with a golden type smile

I love that how you organize with other strong sisters

Love that how you talk about tearing down the system

Like a soldier, my dialectical reflection, yes is the
