3:56I never seen myself different than a Mexican When I see a Mexican, I see myself in them We are the same people, it's evident — Same blood, same fire, same element We might speak Spanish with a different tone Built customs on lands we now call home But underneath flags and foreign names Our roots still whisper through the veins Remove the borders, remove the tongue And you'll hear the same ancestral drum We both indigenous — we been one Long before conquest ever begun From El Salvador to ancient Mexica lands Same story carved by foreign hands They called us "mestizo," changed our face But couldn't erase what time can't replace Nahua and Maya — we share those trunks Our spirits connect through the blood that runs From Pipil hills to the Yucatán sun We walk the same road, just carved by guns Across the border, Native kin still fight Lakota, Apache, the same old plight On reservations under neon lights But their spirit still dances in the night Different flag, same pain and cry Different sky, but the same red dye From the Andes peaks to Amazon cries Our people still breathe while empires lie In the Guianas they speak in French But that's just another foreign trench In Brazil they guard the sacred air Lungs of the planet — they still care Same struggle, same story told Different crowns, same stolen gold Divide and rule — that's all they sold But our unity's fire never grows cold Modern nations draw their line Genetic truth don't pay no mind We're one people, soul combined Different colonizers — one blood, one kind
