Check it, since 1516 minds attacked and overseen
Now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream

   We better turn the bass up on this one
   Check it, since 1516, -
   (March 29 – The Venetian Ghetto is instituted in the Republic of Venice. )
   The Venetian Ghetto was the area of Venice in which Jews were forced to live by the government of the Venetian Republic. The English word ghetto is derived from the Jewish ghetto in Venice -minds attacked and overseen
   Now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream
   (America)
   With their borders and boots, on top of us
   Pullin' knobs on the floor, of their toxic metropolis
   (Dead end job)
   But how you gonna get what you need to get? (?)
   The gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like Tet
   (The Tet Offensive was a major escalation and one of the largest military campaigns of the Vietnam War)
   The fifth sun sets get back
   "Five Suns" refers to the belief of certain Nahua cultures and Aztec peoples that the world has gone through five distinct cycles of creation and destruction, with the current era being the fifth reclaim
   The spirit of Cuauhtémoc, alive and untamed
   Now face the funk now blastin' out your speaker
   On the one - Maya, Mexica
   That vulture came to try and steal your name but now you got a gun
   Yeah, this is for the people of the sun!
   It's comin' back around again!
   This is for the people of the sun! - It's comin' back around again! Uh
   It's comin' back around again!
   This is for the people of the sun! - It's comin' back around again! Uh
   Yeah, never forget that the whip snapped ya back
   Your spine cracked for tobacc-oh, I'm the Marlboro Man, uh
   (Slave labor)
   Our past blastin' on through the verses
   Brigades of taxi cabs rollin' Broadway like hearses
   (Spanish speaking cabbies)
   Troops strippin' zoots, shots of red mist
   Sailors blood on the deck, come sister resist
   From the era of terror, check this photo lens
   Now the City of Angels does the ethnic cleanse, uh
   Heads bobbin' to the funk out your speaker
   On the one - Maya, Mexica
   That vulture came to try and steal your name but now you found a gun
   You're history! This is for the people of the sun
   It's comin' back around again!
   This is for the people of the sun! - It's comin' back around again! Yeah
   It's comin' back around again!
   This is for the people of the sun! - It's comin' back around again!
   It's comin' back around again!
   This is for the people of the sun! - It's comin' back around again!
   It's comin' back around again!
   This is for the people of the sun! - It's comin' back around
   Of the sun
