Patria Libre

Lyrics

[Intro]
¡Dímelo! (Hey!)
Esta tierra es mía
You can't buy my people
No se vende, no se vende (¡Eso!)
[Verse 1]
Listen up, I got something to say
They think they can take what's mine today
Crossing lines with their paper schemes
But my island ain't what it seems
Every street, every corner we own
This ain't just dirt and stone
My people built this place
Can't erase our face, no way
(¡Dale, dale!)
[Chorus]
Mi patria no se vende (Hey!)
My homeland's not for sale (No way!)
Mi patria no se vende (¡Eso!)
We'll never fail (La-la-la)
[Rap Verse]
Started with papers, moving in slow
Acting like friends but putting on shows
Breaking our rules, buying the votes
While my people struggling to stay afloat
Economy bleeding, but they keep feeding
Off the system that's supposed to be leading
But I see through the plan
Time to make a stand
¡Dímelo! We ain't backing down
This is our sacred ground
You can't buy silence, can't buy pride
Can't make us run, can't make us hide
(¡Dale!)
[Chorus]
Mi patria no se vende (Hey!)
My homeland's not for sale (No way!)
Mi patria no se vende (¡Eso!)
We'll never fail (La-la-la)
[Bridge]
(La-la-la-la)
From San Juan to Santo Domingo
Every block, every barrio knows
This is our home, this is our soul
Can't put a price on what we hold
(¡Dímelo! ¡Eso!)
[Solo]
[Dominican dembow rhythm breakdown]
[Percussion intensifies]
[Verse 2]
They thought we'd bow down easy
Thought our pride was cheap and sleazy
But we rise up every morning
Standing strong without warning
Unity is our weapon now
Fighting back, we'll show them how
No surrender, no retreat
Our culture ain't yours to keep
[Final Chorus]
Mi patria no se vende (Hey!)
My homeland's not for sale (No way!)
Mi patria no se vende (¡Eso!)
We'll never fail
[Outro]
Esta tierra es mía (Hey!)
Esta tierra es nuestra (¡Dímelo!)
No se vende, no se vende
¡Hasta la victoria! (La-la-la)
