AUG's on the scene with a vengeance

No man or law can end this

Power, in a true sense of the word

Now it's time that my people be heard

Some feel this oppression no longer exists

Well here's something they missed

Self D means self determination

To put a stop to colonization

We begin with a historical analysis

To illustrate a Mexican paralysis

See Mexico's been occupied since 1848

Which left the mexicano at a constant 2nd rate

Now learn the word called colonization

Stranger in your own land under exploitation

This is the state of the indigena today

Under the oppression of the settlers way (2x)

WE DIDN'T CROSS THE BORDERS, THE BORDERS CROSSED US! (3x)

YET THE SETTLER NATION LIVES IN DISGUST!

The American dream only for some

Play the role and forget where you came from

Now check it, this is their reality

And just because its wasp holds no validity

WASP-White Anglo Saxon Protestant

The frame of mind that keeps our oppression constant

You try to be white and its very respectable

But be Xicano and its highly unacceptable

Then we're termed hispanic as if we were from Spain

Trying to insert us in the American game

And we're called wetbacks like we've never been here

When our existence on this continent is thousands of years

This is the state of the indigena today

Under the oppression of the settlers way (2x)

WE DIDN'T CROSS THE BORDERS, THE BORDERS CROSSED US (3x)

YET THE SETTLER NATION LIVES IN DISGUST ? repeat

To the earth, to the air, to the fire, and to the water....

The eagle and condor have met

We must realize

Our connection to this land

Till a Hopi and a Mexica can really understand

That invaders divided indigenous people

Under english, french, or spanish it make us all feeble

Unable to recognize each other

From Xicano to Lakota all sisters and brothers

In the spirit of Pontiac, all the red keepers of the earth mother

From the top of Alaska to the tip of South America

Abya Yala, Anahuak, Turtle Island

506 years of indigenous resistance

The prophecies are coming true

The redemption of the red people has come!

The 6th sun now arises

The 7th fire has arrived

Cihuatl is reclaiming

We have returned to Aztlan

We have returned to Aztlan!!!!

WE DIDN'T CROSS THE BORDERS, THE BORDERS CROSSED US (3x)

YET THE SETTLER NATION LIVES IN DISGUST!!

GET THE FUCK OUT, GET THE FUCK OUT, GET THE FUCK , FUCK, FUCK OUT

GET THE FUCK OUT

WASICHU EATER OF THE FAT WASTER OF EARTH MOTHER

AND PEOPLE

COLONIZER OF AZTLAN AND THE WORLD

GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!
