quilombo - rilès lyrics

[verse 1]
if they cut mother’s ears as she wasn’t free
and they sold her in front of my family
colons raped her, then belaboured
she couldn’t breathe anymore, but still ride her
oh, too bad punctured lungs, she died on the floor
take her t–th, body’s out, given to the condor
next my brother ripped nose from lashes on his face
barely seeing, eyes gouged, stop it where’s your faith ?
i’m a negro from angola’s bantos tribes
motherf-cker i swear i will avenge my clan
all my brothers, sisters, friends and relatives
you k!lled all of them, for you all the same breed
no, no, no! not my father, don’t touch him
he’s my last, he’s my hand, my bones and ribs
he teaches me life and everything, i still need him

(hundred lashes, throw him a brick, his face exploded)

[hook] (x2)
i swear i will avenge my family
as long as i’m still standing, breathing, on my feet
in my heart, abundant are sadness and pain
but my hatred for you, will remain the same

[verse 2]
so i fled to quilombo, deadly course
thank god i’m alive, it could’ve been worse
but not worse than what i saw, never forget
everytime i think about it, eyes are wet
but i stay strong, and brave
it was the creed that you taught me
decades after, i’m a warrior of zumbi
i’m a grown man, king of my clan and my tribes
and i’m back on this land, where they sn-tched your life
free all slaves
burn their cages
freedom is not written
on a piece of paper
but in our blood
and in our veins
for our sacrifices
unbearable pain

[hook 2] (x2)
i swear i just avenged, my family
and i’m still, standing on my feet
in my heart, abundant are sadness and pain
but my hatred for you, will ever remain the same
