no soy animal (aztlan underground)


(A pigs eye view)

"Stop! Put your hands on your head"
Trigger happy, now I fill you full of lead
No cameras to document the first strike
Free reign now I violated your eighth right
Less than human
Tracking you like a fuckin dog
Corrupt the system
Guess who's the boss hog
American, I'm at the top of the food chain
Scared again, beat you down feel the pain
I hold the key now you're feeling my power
Smile with delight now I see you scream and cower
I'm a god living free in my own land
Taking advantage of my badge cuz I know I can
Chorus:
Stop! Put your hands on your head
No Soy Animal! [=I'm not an animal]
Now I fill you full of lead!
Stop! Put your hands on your head!
Me abusan por que yo soy mojado
Cuando estes mi tierra aunque soy del otro lado
De una frontera que no debe existir
Y de esto yo vivo a resistir
Pero la placa siguen en mi mente
Abusando a toda mi gente
Sospechosos las 24 horas
Y cuando te chingen a quien lo reportas?
Sin papeles no tengo justicia
Vivo como esclavo escapando milicias
Que se chinga el gringo y su pinche sistema!!
Que se chinga el gringo y su pinche sistema!!!
Chorus:
Stop! I got my gun to your head,
No Soy Animal!
Now I fill you full of lead!
Stop! I got my gun to your head!
Pobres humildes en busca de mejorar sus vidas
No mas para encontrar abusos, discriminacion, y muerte
Por las fuerzas de las agentes de oppresion mundial
La migra, y las placas
Officiales de los estamos cochinos de sangre
Enfuerzan la misma sistema que construye la pobreza mundial
Una sistema que trata al ser humano como animal
Y esta sistema no solamente existe en la frontera Aztlan
and this system doesn't only exist at the border Aztlan
Pero en todo el mundo donde hay gente indigena y pobre
Esto no es justicia, ni libertad, o democracia
Zapata vive, cabrones, Zapata vive!!!!
(lyrix from www.aztlanunderground.com)
Translation (vivajosemarti@hotmail.com)
They abuse me coz i'm a wetback
This is my land I'm frum tha utha side
From a frontier that should not be allowed to exist
And I'm alive for fighting against it
But the 5-0's keep following me in my mind
Abusing all my people
Always suspecting 24-7
And when they fuck you up, who are you gonna tell?
without papers there's no justice
I live like a slave escaping militias
Fuck the gringo and his fucking system (2x)
Poor humble ones looking to better their lives
To suffer no more abuses, discrimination and death
By the agents of world-wide oppression
The migra (border police) and the 5-0's
LA officials we're bloody pigs
They enforce the same system that constructs global poverty
A system that treats humans like animals
and this system doesn't only exist at the border Aztlan
But everywhere in the world where there are indigenous ppl and poor ppl
This ain't justice nor freedom nor democracy
Zapata lives on , motherfuckers, Zapata lives on!!!!
