Hacienda Luisita (free) 04:48
KOM X Call to action, the people reactin' Conditions were ripe cuz the movement’s expandin’ Four hundred years they were held down in chains Had to break their bonds when the uprising came The land belonged to the people and the country When the Spanish came through, the people went hungry They forced the masses to grow sugarcane But the peasant starved, not a cent to their name The years passed, and the country was divided While the US and Japan made war for profit The slave master kept making big bucks but when revolution happened he was dumb outta luck The devil bought the land by taking from the people Cojuangco took the throne, to become a new evil He paid the farmers nine pesos a day, And forced them to strike, so rebellion was made ET Back in the day, before he passed away Ninoy promised farmers he would give em back they place Where they chop cane every single day Building up the wealth of the family's estate When Cory came, throwing L's in the sky So well she replied so the land was denied Til 2004, so bad, had to strike Po's let the bullets fly, 14 died KAY D Now it's August 2010, no one remembers when the farm workers gave their permission Negotiators claimed they want stock distribution But who wants paper when your land's been taken? Land is life, the personal's political I see the day when justice is literal (But) we have to bring it, we are the storm For genuine agrarian land reform *** HOOK Say a prayer for the workers who got murdered by the cops Hacienda Luisita, where the echoes never stop *** JEDI Out in the fields with the broken back and hands Conditions they be dealin' just to get to a cent Whole land owned by the rich klan Aquino in his palace trying to do business Shed blood on the yellow ribbon he was given Cory passed away and hand it to the children Now, still ain't no justice to be found So we keep fightin' till this system goes down JOSH (INTELLECT) Liberation we making Corruption they fakin' Farmworkers' rights and the lives of the taken These politicians out here, suckers for war Puppets for Uncle Sam and they suckin' for war In the countryside, farmers continue to unionize Semi-feudal country with a dictator, brutalized There's no democracy cause we ain't free From the chains of greediness and slavery VICOY Hindi nyo ba nakikita aming nakikita (Dont y'all see what we see) Lupa ng magsasaka iba ang kumikita (Its the land of the farmers but the landlord makes the money) Magsasaka ang nag tanim (The farmers planted the crops) Inaani ng mga sakim (Harvested by the greedy) Simple lng ang hinihiling (Our wish is simple) Ibalik ang lupa ng syang saamin (Just give back our land) Bakit kailangang gumamit ng baril (Why do you need to use a gun) Amin naman ang aming sinisingil (If we are just trying to take back whats ours) L.U.V. I hope when they light that cigarette they'd taste blood in the leaves Inhale reminders of the lives lost in Tarlac, Philippines 6 years & 14 souls still cry out When the rich kill the poor, see we multiply They just waiting on a dead regime With people power 1, 2, but death comes in 3's Till the soil grows crops instead of feudil designs Fuck a yellow ribbon, Red star, til bullets rewind.. *** HOOK Say a prayer for the workers who got murdered by the cops Hacienda Luisita, where the echoes never stop *** BRIDGE Hacienda Luisita, where the echoes never stop Other extremes between the rich and the poor Hacienda Luisita, I declare war
