lyrics

Relentless Humanity
by Doctora Xingona

You lounge atop your castle of gold
You roll around in your oil, so no one will touch you
You rob friends, camouflage the truth
Your greed ain’t good for no one
Your greed ain’t good for no one
Not even you

You lock children up in cages as they wail—
You terrorize our families with your guns and your jails
You’ve built a wall around your heart, you want others to follow suit
Your hate ain’t good for no one
Your hate ain’t good for no one
Not even you

Pay up for the lives we’ve lost
Pay up for the damage you cause
Pay up your reparations
to our relentless humanity

You punch a woman in her mouth por decirte “no”…
You shove a door in my face for being queer
You sign away our rights, with a deceitful pen
Your hands ain’t good for no one
Your hands ain’t good for no one
Not even you

Back off your uninvited grabs
Disarm your entitled rage
Fists up for the revolution
of our relentless humanity

We won’t let it
We won’t let it
We won’t let it
We won’t let it
We won’t let it end this way
We won’t let it end this way
My family won’t let it end this way!

We will gather up the strength of our ancestors’ will
We will feed and tend to each other until we heal
We will build a village
Without walls guns or jails
Our hearts were built for building
Our hearts were built for building
Yes, even yours

Rise up with your indignation
Sing out for those who can’t
Fists up for the reclamation
of our relentless humanity

We won’t let it
We won’t let it
We won’t let it
We won’t let it
We won’t let it end this way
We won’t let it end this way
My family won’t let it end this way!
