Prólogo
Maestro, ¿cuál es la fuente de su genio?
Bueno, yo creo que la fuente de mi genio es precisamente la estructura molecular del ácido desoxirribonu, cleico
(Desoxi-ácido desrrusos doxirri-bonucleico nucleico)
¿Se lo toma? ¿O cómo?
Ah no, no, no, eso no se toma, eso es una cosa que se nace
I say to' you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow
I still have a dream, it is a dream deeply rooted [?] that one day this nation will rise up
Gloria al bravo pueblo que el yugo lanzó
Solamente un sentido, simplemente un motivo
Educar y callar hijueputas mientras esté vivo
No voy a hablar de la facultad que los psicólogos llaman inteligencia
Voy a llamar lo que los historiadores de la cultura y el arte llaman la inteligencia
Y algunos, con una palabra tomada de las lenguas europeas modernas no hispánicas
La intelligentsia, es decir, lo que los hombres de pensamiento han dicho
Han expresado o han comprendido de la realidad que los rodeaba
(Realidad que los rodeaba, realidad que los rodeaba, realidad)
When we allow freedom to' ring, from every state and every city
We will be able to' speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men
Protestants and Catholics, will be able to' join hands
Canserbero, él no va a ser simplemente un intelectual
Él no es simplemente un hombre de pensamiento
Sino que se va a transformar en un hombre de acción
Eso es una cosa que se nace
Tengo la vista puesta en representar mi bandera
Barrio la Pica, Ovallera
Pa' coñacear el sistema
Sé tocar las almas y hallar lo que buscan esconder
La verdad, aunque les duela (la verdad, aunque les duela)
Prologue
Master, what’s the source of your genius?
Well, I think the source of my genius is precisely the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid
(Deoxy-ribonucleic acid)
Do you take it? Or how?
Oh no, no, no, that’s not something you take, that’s something you’re born with
I say to all of you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow
I still have a dream, it’s a dream deeply rooted that one day this nation will rise up
Glory to the brave people who broke the yoke
Only one meaning, simply one reason
To educate and silence those bastards while I’m alive
I’m not going to talk about the faculty that psychologists call intelligence
I’m going to call what cultural and art historians refer to as intelligence
And some, with a word borrowed from modern non-Hispanic European languages
The intelligentsia, that is, what thinkers have said
Have expressed or understood about the reality that surrounded them
(Reality that surrounded them, reality that surrounded them, reality)
When we allow freedom to ring, from every state and every city
We will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men
Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands
Canserbero, he’s not just going to be an intellectual
He’s not just a man of thought
But he’s going to transform into a man of action
That’s something you’re born with
I have my sights set on representing my flag
Barrio la Pica, Ovallera
To smash the system
I know how to touch souls and find what they try to hide
The truth, even if it hurts them (the truth, even if it hurts them)
