Another day in America
A blessing so they say
Sacrifice don’t stop at the border
The nightmare at the border was sold as a dream
Everything changed in America
Except nothing changed in America
Wanna tell me what’s America
But who do you think built America?
Money, greed
Money, greed
Raíces de Latinoamérica
Conquistando el mundo y llega hasta la ibérica
Aquí todos somos iguales
Aunque se vive en histeria
Qué tal si nos queremos
Como cuando en la feria
Uno jugaba de niño
Como en los viejos tiempos
En que momento todo cambio
La vida es una palabra y se la lleva el viento
Hay que alimentarle a la familia
La doña, la nena, a mai
Me gustan todas las culturas
Vamos a Italia o Shanghai
Quisiera tumbar las fronteras de México a Nigeria
Y tener pa’ terminar con el hambre y la miseria
Cosa seria
Everything changed in America
Except nothing changed in America
Wanna tell me what’s America
But who do you think built America?
Everything changed in America
Except nothing changed in America
Wanna tell me what’s America
But who do you think built America?
Money, greed
Poison in the food
Profit off the prisons
And the brainwash in the schools
If you watch the media
That’ll keep you fooled
Eyes locked to the screens
Keep scrolling on your phones, like
Money, greed
All that we consume
Say ‘land of the free’
But the land was always stolen
Mass incarceration and the detention centers
Everything they did to us never made the news
Everything changed in America
Except nothing changed in America
Wanna tell me what’s America
But who do you think built America?
Everything changed in America
Except nothing changed in America
Wanna tell me what’s America
But who do you think built America?

For the ones who didn't know, this song is based on the song ' America ' from Berstein's famous musical comedy ' West Side Story ' (the melody samples this song and the artwork is a tribute to the 1961 movie based on it).
The musical is heavily inspired from 'Romeo and Juliet ', except it is set in the 50s USA , and instead of Montagues we have the Jetts (European immigrants, poor and rejected by society), and for the Capulets we have the Sharks (Puerto Rican immigrants, also poor rejected by society but also bullied by the Jetts).
The song ' America ' is sung by the Sharks: its a duet in which women talk about the american dream positively, while men reflect on how fake the American dream is and how miserably poor people live in the USA (especially latino immigrants who are also subject of racism because of their skin) color.
I love how they got inspired from this musical to create such song, and it makes me really sad to see how latinx are still mistreated and deprived from their legitimate right to immigrate, as I think that immigration is a natural right we all have : humans are nomads, so WHAT THE F. IS HAPPENING TO US
