BONSAI

It could be the biggest and majestic of all trees
But all it’s reduced, to centimetres of misery
It could give the juiciest of all fruits
But instead, its branch holds minuscule grapes of agony

Since they planted the seed,
They start to work on it
How it will grow, how they want it to look
And day by day its branches of liberty they cut

Shaping the trunk to ensure that it grows as they want
Planting it in a pot to ensure it does not grow
Big and majestic as it should be
Wild and natural as I would like to see

They cut its roots, day after day after day
To ensure their control; that it’s the best way
They shape its life, and forced it in a small jail
It could be big and majestic, but its efforts to grow are in vain

Shaping and dwarfing for ones own interest
Wiring and pruning till it appears beautiful for their test.
Look deep on the soil; stretch your branches to the sky!!!
Grow as majestic as you should be!!!
Your potential, you should comply!!!

Grow big and majestic as you should be
Don’t allow the tools to prune your dreams
Grow, learn, develop and criticise
Grow your crown, grow your roots, grow your trunk and break the wire
Grow big and majestic and break the loop
You’ll be awarded with the richest and juiciest of all fruit

Love yourself, know yourself, you can’t go wrong
Listen to what they say, analyze what they say,
But remember this is your life, your show
So don’t be afraid for what they do or they may…
Grow big and majestic as you should be
Love yourself, love your life, and fight for your destiny

TIERRA DE *BYERE Y DE *MORIMOS

Tan solo aterrizar, sentí *Nsama
Y el perfume embriagador, de esta tierra africana
tierra de *Byere y de *Morimos
tierra de mis antepasados y de todos los que están vivos
amor eterno que sentí siempre dentro de mi
amor sincero de aquello que siempre desconocí
sentir que envejecía sin saber a penas quien era
corriendo por callejuelas Catalanas, desconociendo mi historia
y allí me plante por primera vez
tocar suelo africano, me postre a sus pies
no saber que decir, ni tan si quiera donde ir
intuiciones que ardían durante años
sentimientos que me ayudaron a vivir

y así caminamos, y caminamos
y de nuestra madre tierra nos enamoramos
tíos, tías, primos, primas, sobrinos, sobrinas
plenty, plenty, no nos falto familia
y allí sentada en su trono la buela NANCY resplandeciente
esperando tu visita durante toda su vida, paciente, paciente, paciente…
y así encaminamos nuestro paseo por la isla de *Etula
en Malabo es donde hacemos nuestra primera parada
del Mercado a ñubile de ñubile a san paca
a los pocos días, volamos a Bata
Bataman!!! Bataman!!!, recuerdo me gritaban de pequeño
Ahora realmente su significado entiendo
Al llegar al poblado las abuelas gritaban: "Akiiieeee atamarazan"
Sus ojos encristalados, por sus mejillas lagrimas resbalan
Nunca esperaron ver al hijo de Esimi Nsang

y por cada Segundo que paso en mi tierra
mi mente se da mas cuenta de la verdad
he estado antes en este mismo lugar!!!
comiendo este mismo ground beef en salsa
viendo al mismo *ndong-mba, cuando murieron mis abuelos, bailar
mientras un *nvet penetraba las ventanas de la casa
*Ngui involuntario que me transporto hasta aquí
Sin saber que encontraría, sorprendido de encontrarme a MI
Dormir en mi poblado
Mientras el gato-mono cantaba desolado
Despertarme antes del amanecer
Y bañarme en Río Muni, el cual no me vio nacer
Y a pesar de los pesares, me vera padecer
Sin discusión ninguna, aquí es donde pertenezco
Besar la tumba de mis abuelos
Jugar a haver a quien me parezco
Noches con olor a lámpara de petróleo cándescente
Ilusión de entender y ver de quien soy descendiente

Amor por ti, amor por vivir, resucitar y tener un porvenir
Lucha eterna institucionalizada
Excusas elocuentes, sociedad quebrantada
Y los Bubis abrieron sus puertas para mi
Y los Fangs te recibieron con un sonreír
Y se mezclaban ethnias y familias, en el callejón
Y tu y yo nos mirábamos, sabiendo que tiene solución
Entender que nadie es bienvenido a casa ajena
Pero entender que todos somos hermanos cuando hay verbena
Hacerles entender, que el amor es neutral
Que las quiebras sociales es un plan colonial

Aprender que la familia es infinita y eterna
Acoger a mis sobrin@s, como mis hij@s, a la africana
Las almas de mis antepasados, motor de mi presente
Sueños eternos de los que despertamos
En mi corazón estáis siempre presentes
La esencia de entender y no olvidar quien somos
la energía y spiritu de mi amada tierra Nlangman Nsomo

NEW ERA SHACKLES

http://i1.iofferphoto.com/img/item/160/901/01/hiphopjewl1.jpg

All these years thinking that we were freed
The entire struggles, all the fights, have been in vain
They’re still present, everywhere, evidently
But the biggest one, it’s invisible in your brain

They made you think that’s woman’s best friend
But they don’t tell the blood it contents
They introduced them to our community
So now we can’t complaint, they’ve impunity!!

And for every carat in your stone
There is misery for another, father, brother or son
Living their life in misery, digging the mines
For you to hang their despair on your neck and on your hands

Slavery in another dimension which you embrace
Brother encouraging the killing of brothers, what a disgrace
And at the end, you’re the one who pays
Slave it’s your mind, slave it’s your brain

New era shackles, just longer it’s the chain
Following the same master, the same as yesterday
Blink that brings agony, sorrow and shame
Stolen from mama, if you buy it, who I’m gonna blame

We are at the beginning and at the end of the chain
Same situation, different it’s the pain
One is forced to mine; the other is forced to buy
One is enslaved without permission; the other is slave with pride

Use the power of your mind, and free yourself
The new era shackles are designed, to maintain you slave
Slave of the trends of hypocrisy and vanity
Free your soul of Babylon, fight for your liberty!!!

Encouraging destruction and dehumanisation
And then they ask why there is no evolution?
The blood of the stone that you’re carrying
It’s exactly the same that runs inside your body

Emptying yo moma, of resources and man power
Crashing your soul against your own, can you get lower
Following the wrong way, the easy living… living in vain
Vicious circle that you have to break, before you get insane

New era shackles, no difference from yesterday
Hanging from your hands, wrist, neck and brain
Easy to identify, very difficult to break
They appear so beautiful, but of souls and blood they’re made

ACUERDATE

http://martanauta.blogia.com/upload/20051025020824-hojas-jpg

A veces nos olvidamos de lo frágiles que somos
Y cuando llega el momento de todo nos arrepentimos
Es importante irse a dormir sabiendo
Que aquellos a los que quieres se van a dormir sabiéndolo
Y es que en esta vida estamos solo de pasada
Y en cuanto menos lo esperamos la vida nos es arrebatada

Y entonces es cuando empezamos a analizar
Y la película de nuestra vida empieza a rodar
Sentimientos ocultos en cajones, que nunca supimos mostrar
Palabras atrabancadas en nuestros labios que a la tumba no se van a llevar

Acuerda te, de decir te quiero
Acuerda te, de decir lo siento
Acuerda te, de decir perdona me
Acuerda te, de decir ya te perdone

La vida es demasiado frágil
Nunca sabes cuando se va a romper
Asegurarte que mientras estas vivo, ninguna oportunidad vas a perder
Te quiero, lo siento, perdona me, te perdono
Cada día es una nueva oportunidad de enmendarlo todo

Pensamos que para siempre vamos a vivir
Pero el cuerpo es un misterio difícil de predecir
Nada es elemental, no tenemos fecha de caducidad
En cuanto menos te lo esperes, se habrán ido para la eternidad
Y entonces todas tus lágrimas caerán sobre tu consciencia
Y entonces todos tus lamentos golpearan a tu puerta
Porque no lo dije? Porque me espere? Porque me enfade?
Preguntas fuera de tiempo, se fue sin saber que le ame

Acuerda te, de decir te quiero
Acuerda te, de decir lo siento
Acuerda te, de decir perdona me
Acuerda te, de decir ya te perdone
Fácil el esfuerzo, esencial para vivir
Porque tal vez mañana ya no les veamos sonreír

HISTORY LOOP

http://www.indexstock.com/store/GetThumb.asp/ImageNum=1029234&VOLID=3728&gc=gc1&ss=1/Unity-1029234.jpg

Whatever you want to do, you won’t be able to hold it
Your empire is falling down, breaking down bit by bit
You forgot to identify, that several others were before you
Your time it’s arriving, and there is nothing that you can do
That’s why you’re rushing to obtain, as much as you can
Because those who come behind you, we’ll brush you as sand

Remember as big as you look, you don’t gonna last
We all used to speak Latin and pay to Rome in the past
They seemed indestructible, but they’re gone as you see
The empires always fall down, that’s now your destiny

Let’s see how tie you can hold
Let’s see how far you would go
Trying to unify before your fall
But I guess you don’t gonna have us all
Your empire is falling down
Your systems, your majesties, your politics
Everything is breaking down
I’ll be waiting to see what you gonna do now

History always repeats, either you like it or not
That’s why we had First and Second World War
Everyone wants more and more resources
When the negotiation broke down, you used your forces
But everything that has a beginning
Definitely has and end
Cataclysms unstoppable, that in my life time I’ll see
And then when you loose your power, you’d count on me

Don’t worry we’ll be nice to you
If there is something we learnt, it’s what we shouldn’t do
We’ll share our resources; you’d have a fair price
We’ll not enslave you, we’ll be concise
History loop will be break after you
Because humankind has had more than enough

Will arrive a new age, of love and comprehension
I know it’s unrealistic for you; you’re in physical dimension
Everything falls by its own weight
And the weight you put in your shoulder, soon will break
No much longer I gonna have to wait
Your time it’s coming. Let’s see what you gonna do
Trying to conquer other territories
Analyze in which situation right now are you
I look back in history and I know is not any myth
Your time is coming and I am so pleased.

History loops that comes again and again
But for difficult that it seems, you going the same lane
Trying to control the world, with the excuse of democracy
Forgetting that we know it all, including that there isn’t in your territory
Spreading your tongue all over the world, using sophisticated tactics
History loop unveil by the path of the roman antics
And as you’re doing the did in the past
Covering: empire, genocide, and greediness with the civilization mask
Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians, Ottomans… all succeed
But the history shows that all empires fall down indeed

ESCOLTA'M

http://www.staddonfamily.com/wp-content/photos/jump1.jpg

Escolta’m, estima'm sóc el principal

Escolta’m segueix-me

Escolta’m, creu-me, no deixis d'escoltar

I mai et podré fallar

La vida es curta, s'acaba... s'acaba

La vida es curta, la flama s’apaga, s’apaga

Seguéis- me tira't amb mi

Segueix-me, el millor està per venir

Escolta’m, estima'm sóc el principal

Escolta’m segueix-me

Escolta’m creu-me, no deixis d'escoltar

I mai et podré fallar

No escoltis res més, jo sóc qui dictamina

No pensis en res, jo et donaré vida

Una vida plena d'aventures per descobrir

I de moments hermosos, sense dubte m'has de seguir

Res més en aquest mon, et donarà el que et dono jo

Segueix-me sense pensar en la raó

Escolta’m, creu-me, confia en mi

Creu en el meu batec i t'ensenyaré un nou camí

I aniràs a llocs que no has anat mai

Tirat amb mi, no miris avall

Llençat sense por

Segueix-me, escolta’m, creu-me

Sóc el teu cor

CARRY ON TRADITION

Wherever you go, you’ll not have a doubt
You were and are princess; you should be proud
I should ensure that everything is passed down to you
From your history to your traditions, to our family name to

Our ancestors are present, looking after you
From your grandfathers to your grandmothers and all the others to
Their presence it’s essential for us to survive
As they give us the energy and they’re our eyes
They showed and show us the way
That’s how daddy made it till today
Their guidance is essential, let’s for them pray

Even if we’re far from home
They’re always close to us
With their spirits we’ve been blessed
Showing us the way to go
Giving us the strength to survive as POW
They lifted me up, when I was low

Rice and chicken, ground beef and yam
Respect for the elderly, respect for nature
Worship the spirits of the skies and of the ground
Respect for the ancestors, God is the creator
Easy rules that will help you in your life
Easy rules that I wish you take with pride

Education, education, education
And carry on tradition
It’s essential to understand
Who we’re and where we come from
Once you know that, there is no horizon

And in the same way
I’ll guide you throw life one day
Guiding you on your path, all the way
Always ready to help, even at bay

MAMA

http://www.camdipsalta.gov.ar/INFSALTA/imagen2/pacha1.jpg

Destruyéndote sin miramientos
Arrancando tus pulmones, haciéndote sufrir
Profanando tus adentros
Olvidarnos de lo que es vivir

Y ahora corremos a salvarte
Cuando ya es demasiado tarde
Y ahora todo el mundo quiere amarte
Pero tu corazón esta que arde

Lamentablemente nada nuevo dicen
Los mismos que te profanan
Son los que el cataclismo predicen
Tristemente nadie quiere remediarlo
Porque el único remedio, es todo el oro abandonarlo
Y como un pirata Viejo y absurdo
Con toda su riqueza se prefiere hundir este mundo
Demasiado tiempo gritando Socorro
Demasiado tiempo que en esto estoy solo
Y si pudiera curarte con mis manos
Las que tu me distes y las de mis hermanos
Todos aquellos que fielmente cuidamos de ti
Pero a pesar de todo no pudimos evitar tu lloro
Y estos son los últimos momentos que te llevo en mi
La hora va llegando ya pronto se olvidaran de nuevo de ti
Corren, gritan, saltan, prometen, tan solo por interés
Todo esos esfuerzos para ganar votos en sus elecciones

Nunca les importo polucionar tus cielos
Nunca quisieron parar de sustraer petróleo de tus adentros
Tus mares, tus ríos, tus montañas, todo contaminado
Y ahora que ya es tarde, el mundo parece desesperado
Si volviéramos a las tradiciones del pasado
La Pachamama Americana
Los espíritus de los ríos, los bosques y las montañas de mi tradición Africana
Y yo no quiero evolución si esto es lo que significa
Vaciar tus adentros y vender tus pulmones en la fabrica
Nos limpiamos el culo con árboles talados
Tirar mas papel y papel como si fuéramos tarados
Desnudando a Amazonas de todos sus vestidos
Desnudando a Basin, ensuciando sus ríos

Y ya nadie te ama mama
Ya hace tiempo que se olvidaron de ti
Vaciaron sin miramientos y sin pensar en ti
Te vaciaron los adentros y tu alma
Lo siento mama, quisiera haber podido ayudar
Pero mis ojos estaban ciegos con tanto contaminar
Si pudiera volver para atrás en el tiempo
Si pudiera devolverte todo lo que te han quitado en este mismo momento

Mama se muere, y todos estaremos presentes
Del ciclo de la naturaleza, todos seremos conscientes
Porque todos somos materia, y la materia no se destruye
Cuando nuestro cuerpo dejamos, otro cuerpo se construye
Y así rodamos en un ciclo, eternamente
Si mama se descompone, todos nos iremos con ella inevitablemente

Nunca les importo polucionar tus cielos
Nunca quisieron parar de sustraer petróleo de tus adentros
Tus mares, tus ríos, tus montañas, todo contaminado
Y ahora que ya es tarde, el mundo parece desesperado
Si volviéramos a las tradiciones del pasado
La Pachamama Americana
Los espíritus de los ríos, los bosques y las montañas de mi tradición Africana
Nos limpiarnos el culo con árboles talados
Tirar mas papel y papel como si fuéramos tarados
Desnudando a Amazonas de todos sus vestidos
Desnudando a Basin, ensuciando sus ríos

PENGUINS (TOGETHERNESS)

http://www.allmoviephoto.com/photo/2005_march_of_the_penguins_002.html

They stick together
Whatever the weather
Forming a strong wall
Not allowing any breach, any hole
Together they survive the most terrible of the winters
Together they stand against the fiercest of the winds
Rotating the front line
To avoid loss of any kind
May be we all should learn this tactic
Because our winter has been so long!
Leaving us, weak and sick
Our people are so alone!!!
We survived the worst of the tempest
But our people ended up all over the place
That’s why now it's difficult to survive the event
And it's getting colder and colder
We should all stick together
And rotate our front line, to avoid any loss
We should overcome this winter at all cost
After winter, comes spring
If we could stick together…Moosiah’s dream
If we unite and stay together
We’ll survive the fiercest of all weather.
Unify to combat the strong winds
Holding tie till spring arrive
And then a new nation would rise

DON'T PLAY THEIR GAME

http://www.itsablackthang.com/images/Justin-Bua/como-no-by-bua.jpg

Easy money goes quick
And puts on your head a verdict
It’s better sure and slowly
Than quick and worried
You can’t be selling dope forever
Although now you think you playing clever

Seating in your sofa, selling 24/7 dope
Claiming and cheating on benefits
Thinking that is clever no to work
Relaxing in your place split after split

Don’t you realize? That’s exactly what they want
Maintaining yourself paralyze, without a future
Whiles their accounts grow and grow
You get the carcasses like a vulture
Thinking that you making the living
Without realizing that you only surviving

Don’t play their game, don’t please them
Be smart and move on with your life
The more that your ‘business’ expands
The more problems you’ll have in your hands
The more difficult would be for you to rise
Don’t play their game, be a smart man

Your situation suits them perfectly
Because you support their plans indirectly
They just want us to stay on this situation forever
That’s why we need to be cleverer
Think, how much you make a month? £5000
How it will sound to you if I promise you £13000
Without police knocking your door every night
Without looking your back, without any fight

And you think that you are smart, playing them
But you just the best player, playing their game
Be clever and get out of that
Your potential is enormous you deserve more than that
They know that youth trouble for a while
That’s why they rush to jail during this time
In this way you’re already in the system
You just being playing their game

You can’t be selling dope forever
You need to be cleverer
The money that you’re making is peanuts
The people who surround you, are just rats
Waiting to get whatever they can from you
You’re playing their game, what you gonna do?
