We Rise Together (Spanglish)
Start with a dark ambient pad and rub-a-dub kick echo layered beneath Venezuelan cuatro riffing for the intro, transition to the buildup for analog synth risers and looped maracas percussion driving a trance rhythm, then bass drop into overdriven steppa-style bass with gated dub effects and raggamuffin horns, shift to tremolo-filtered bandola melody lines and mid-scooped percussion FX for the breakdown, fill with delay-stuttered drum fills and syncopated rub-a-dub grooves, hit a second drop of distorted FM sub bass layered with pitch-shifted vocal chops and boogie-woogie organ stabs, and finally fade into lush echo-laced atmospheres with bandola and cuatro duets for the outro.

Lyrics
Intro – Spoken w/ dub FX, echo
"This one go out to di people…"
"pa las madres que gritan por justicia…"
"To di youth locked out, blocked out, talked down — Babylon must fall… but we must rise!"
Chorus – Call & Response | Chant Style
Call: ¿Quién levanta la voz sin miedo al castigo?
Response: ¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!
Call: Who break di chains when the lies grow tall?
Response: Together we rise — and Babylon fall!
Verse 1 – English – Fast raggamuffin chant
They shake hands behind closed doors, makin’ dark deals,
Feast while the ghetto youths beg for meals.
Populist prophets wearing their plastic smiles,
Preach for the people, but lie all the time.
They promise change with a serpent tongue,
While the rich get fat and the poor get it rough.
Babylon system built on theft and control —
But di lion heart youths, we ready to go!
"Go go go!"
"Let Babylon system burn burn burn!"

Verse 2 – Spanish | Crudo
Aja… yo… lo digo sin miedo...
¡Políticos hipócritas, doble moral!
Nos llenan de humo, con su discurso infernal.
Prometen justicia, salud y comida,
pero su agenda desprecia la vida.
Nos cagan la cara, disfrazan la estafa,
con trajes, lujos las riquezas del pueblo arrasan.
Nos tratan de forma ridícula,
con leyes absurdas, políticas cínicas.
Se esconden detrás de la cúpula,
robando con manos muy tétricas.
Su paz es oferta irónica,
su guerra se vuelve mediática.
El pueblo responde con mística,
despierta conciencia volcánica.
"Pueblo responde… ¡con luchas históricas!"
[Chorus
Call: ¿Quién levanta la voz sin miedo al castigo?
Response: ¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!
Call: Who break di chains when the lies grow tall?
Response: Together we rise — and Babylon fall!

"They try to buy peace… but they can't buy dignity."
"This revolution don’t need permission. It just needs love… "
Dub Bridge – FX
Open your eyes... listen for a while
Babylon sweet-talk and smile,
But behind every promise — there's a profile file.
They study your pain, then sell you the cure,
But the cure’s just poison — wrapped in allure...
Time to burn illusion.
Rise in unity.
The real revolution?
Is love and clarity.
"¿Quién controla la tele, el banco, la ley?"
Verse 3 – Spanglish | Climax
They feed us slogans, “libertad” y “esperanza,”
But cover the truth in a veil of bonanza.
Nos llaman hermanos cuando hay elecciones,
Después nos dividen con sus acciones.
I see through the smoke — no soy marioneta,
I build with my fam, mi propia receta.
El pueblo despierta, no come más cuento —
The fire is rising — el cambio se siente en el viento.
Outro Verse – Fast Spanish Rap
Yo no vine a complacer, vine a exponer al sistema,
esto es ajedrez y yo traigo la estrategia suprema.
Vomito verdades sin filtro, directo al problema,
les meto el dedo en la llaga pa’ que les duela.
Sigo con fe, con coraje y firmeza,
que un día tengamos líderes con nobleza,
que piensen en todos, no en su riqueza,
y rompan el ciclo de tanta tristeza.
... y falsas promesas
