WORK LIKE CHÁVEZ Lyrics

[Intro: Alí Primera & RodStarz]
Los que mueren por la vida no pueden llamarse muertos
Y a partir de este momento es prohibido llorarlos
Compañero Hugo Chávez, ¡presente!
La revolución Bolivariana, ¡presente!
Let's go!
Yo voy Caracas (el proceso va pa'lante)
En el Chicago (el proceso va pa'lante)
Yo in the South Bronx (el proceso va pa'lante)
It goes worldwide (el proceso va pa'lante)


[Verse 1: RodStarz]
I can't front, I'm upset that they took our buildin'
Next thing, the Comandante; man I know they killed him

Something goin' on, I gotta read the signs
Somethin' telling me that it's about that time
Time to step it up 'cause I still smell sulfur
Still smell the money in this capitalist culture
I'm dedicatin' verses to my boy Jamil (hey, what up!)
He out there in Venezuela, frontline, it's real!
Hunts Point, New York, 2005
That's when I realized the revolution's so alive
We ain't never had a president come around mine
He brought oil for the poor in the wintertime
He showed love to the Bronx, that's called solidarity

We show love back, ain't no politician scarin' me
Anti-imperialist till I go delirious
The work is getting serious, that's why they keep fearin' us!
[Chorus: RodStarz]
Do the mathematics, Hugo Chávez was the baddest
I gotta work like Chávez
Do the mathematics, Hugo Chávez was the baddest
I gotta work like Chávez
Yo voy Caracas (el proceso va pa'lante)
En el Chicago (el proceso va pa'lante)
Yo in the South Bronx (el proceso va pa'lante)
It goes worldwide (el proceso va pa'lante)

[Verse 2: G1]
Forward, this movement ain't defeated
La lucha sigue
Dentro de todos esa rebeldía existe
La CIA comete crimen
Igual las ideas viven
Aquí el pueblo decide
No lo que los medios dicen
Quieren parar a una cultura alternativa
Fíjate desde el Bronx hasta América Latina
Capitalistas van, capitalistas vienen
Buscan tus bienes
Quieren hacer lo que quieren
¡Ahora decimos no!
No al imperialismo, neoliberlismo
Los bancos, los ricos
Ni un millonario
Chávez fue solidario
Ni Bush ni Obama llegaron a ayudarnos
No lo olvidamos
Más que venezolano
Esto cruza frontera
Hip-Hop bolivariano
América unida
¿Cómo creamos ese frente?
¡Solidaridad por todo el continente!
[Chorus: RodStarz]
Do the mathematics, Hugo Chávez was the baddest
I gotta work like Chávez
Do the mathematics, Hugo Chávez was the baddest
I gotta work like Chávez
Yo voy Caracas (el proceso va pa'lante)
En el Chicago (el proceso va pa'lante)
Yo in the South Bronx (el proceso va pa'lante)
It goes worldwide (el proceso va pa'lante)
