Prologue
Master, what’s the source of your genius?
Well, I think the source of my genius is precisely the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid
(Deoxy-ribonucleic acid)
Do you take it? Or how?
Oh no, no, no, that’s not something you take, that’s something you’re born with
I say to all of you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow
I still have a dream, it’s a dream deeply rooted that one day this nation will rise up
Glory to the brave people who broke the yoke
Only one meaning, simply one reason
To educate and silence those bastards while I’m alive
I’m not going to talk about the faculty that psychologists call intelligence
I’m going to call what cultural and art historians refer to as intelligence
And some, with a word borrowed from modern non-Hispanic European languages
The intelligentsia, that is, what thinkers have said
Have expressed or understood about the reality that surrounded them
(Reality that surrounded them, reality that surrounded them, reality)
When we allow freedom to ring, from every state and every city
We will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men
Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands
Canserbero, he’s not just going to be an intellectual
He’s not just a man of thought
But he’s going to transform into a man of action
That’s something you’re born with
I have my sights set on representing my flag
Barrio la Pica, Ovallera
To smash the system
I know how to touch souls and find what they try to hide
The truth, even if it hurts them (the truth, even if it hurts them)
