"Check out the latest track from Rebel Diaz, a tribute to the recently-deceased Venezuelan President, Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías, perhaps the most important political leader of our generation. . . . The intro sample is from legendary Venezuelan musician and activist, Alí Primera. The words translate as 'Those who die for life cannot be called dead. From this moment on, mourning is prohibited.' The sample in the main beat is from Simón Díaz, one of the most important figures in Venezuelan folk music." -- Carlos Martinez AKA Agent of Change

I cant front im upset that they took our buildin
Next Thing the Comandante man I know they killed him
Something goin on I gotta read the signs
Somethin telling me that its about that time
Time to step it up cuz I still smell sulfur
Still smell the money in this capitalist culture
so im dedicatin verses to my boy jamil
He out there in Venezuela.. Frontline its real!
Hunts Point New York 2005
That’s when I realized the revolution soo alive
We aint never had a president come around mine
He brought OIL for the poor in the wintertime
He showed Love to the Bronx that’s called Solidarity
We show love back aint no politician scarin me
Anti imperialist til I we go delirious
The work is getting serious….that’s why they keep fearin us!!
(CHORUS)
Do the mathematics Hugo Chavez was the baddest
I gotta work Chavez… (2X)
In Caracas
El proceso va palante
In Chicago
El proceso va palante
In the South Bronx
El proceso va palante
it goes worldwide
El proceso va palante
(G1 VERSE)
Forward,
This movement ain’t defeated,
La lucha sigue
Dentro de todos esa rebeldia existe
La CIA comete crimen
Igual las ideas viven
Aqui el pueblo decide
No lo que los medios dicen
Queren parar una cultura alternativa
Fijate desde el bronx hasta america latina
Capitalista van
Capitalista vienen
Buscan tus bienes
Queren hacer lo que queren
Ahora decimos NO!
No al imperialismo,
Al neoliberlismo
Los bancos,
los ricos
Ni un millonario
Chavez fue solidaario
Ni Bush ni Obama llegaron a ayudarnos
No lo olvidamos,
Mas que Venezolano,
esto cruza frontera
Hip hop bolivariano
America unida
Como creamos ese frente?
Solidaridad por todo el continente!
(CHORUS)
