Song lyrics

[Intro:]
Yeah, people come up!
Yeah, we better turn the bass up on this one!

[Verse 1:]
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,
Pullin' 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 blastin' out your speaker,
On the one, Maya, Mexica,
That vulture came to try and steal your name but now you got a gun.
Yeah, this is for the people of the sun!

[Chorus:]
It's comin' back around again,
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again!
It's comin' back around again,
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again!

[Verse 2:]
Yeah, never forget that the whip snapped ya back,
Your spine cracked for tobacc-oh, I'm the Marlboro Man, uh,
Our past blastin' on through the verses,
Brigades of taxi cabs rollin' Broadway like hearses.
Troops strippin' 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 bobbin' 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!

[Chorus:]
It's comin' back around again,
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again, yeah!
It's comin' back around again,
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again!
It's comin' back around again,
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again!
It's comin' back around again,
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around!
Of the sun!
