ECOS DEL GUETTO (Album Version)

Track from the Album "ZalamaLekum" which talks about that we as the people are tired of corruption of any kind. Due to corruption many countries that suffer from floods, raise money and food every year but these collected resources are used for political campaigns and the people get manipulated because of their needs. With this song Zalama Crew try to expose this problem saying NO to corruption all over the world.

Against the current
(Countercurrent)

Chorus:
We are tired they do nothing that they trick my people, the help never comes swimming against the current
We are tired they do nothing that they trick my people, the help never comes swimming against the current
swimming against the current, swimming against the current, swimming against the current

Bing (Vocal)
And i ask myself i wonder even when my people my home all my brothers affected by the actual situation that in quotes is a fucking reality
each year the sad story is repeated how many must die in order to respond so from the income per capita they invest in war and nothing goes to the fucking winter / rain sesson
creeks and streams are common things and donations in TV many presume
Attention sanitary emergency my town is bleeding and dying slowly

Maikcel (Vocal)
We are tired everyone in town is lying meanwhile nobody eats fish and no water children are broken if you thought you have not given these men (Politicians) always come and many people have stolen but take it easy if this never has happened to you is because they have not come to your town or land
This is always like this they are found in every region and place of our country.

Chorus:
We are tired they do nothing that they trick my people, the help never comes swimming against the current
We are tired they do nothing that they trick my people, the help never comes swimming against the current
swimming against the current, swimming against the current, swimming against the current

Oso (Vocal)
They steal pearls, mines, mineral and diamonds, walk with bling bling (luxury) and the people hungry in their town struggling with faith my soldier they fuck us it’s called the flame keep the fire bomdem and if the help doesn`t arrive who is to blame don´t know what happens don`t know why happens happens happens and they don`t want to say my soldier my warrior looking on the street.

Chorus:
We are tired they do nothing that they trick my people, the help never comes swimming against the current
We are tired they do nothing that they trick my people, the help never comes swimming against the current
swimming against the current, swimming against the current, swimming against the current


Ayoi yoi
current
don`t take them
against the current
all my people
current
all my town
against the current
against the current
current
ay against the current
against the current
against the current
current
ay against the current
