The manifesto


Yeah, the counter said "please"
Hey, ah
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Yo no sé qué va a pasar ma?ana
Cuando atienda la luz que me llama
Mami, mi futuro me reclama
Camino hacia la luz (Camino hacia la luz mai, mai)
I have nothing to lose (I have nothing to lose), ah-ah-ah (Dice, ah, yeah)

Crucé la puerta y hoy me siento libre, huh
Dejé el pasado y me fijé en lo simple
Solo dame 21 gramos pa' sentirme firme
Y yo te dejo mi legado antes de irme
Cada paso una ense?anza, sigo con confianza
Tan rápido que el tiempo no me alcanza
No busco alabanzas, menos falsas esperanzas
Descansa, como cuando estabas en la panza
Y despierta, toma las carta' en el asunto
Para poder mirar la vida en diferentes puntos
Pregunto, ¿qué habrá en ese mundo que viene después del mundo?
Lo bueno es que vamos todos junto'
Yo voy con mis valore', también florezco regando las flore'
Me llevo los aroma' y los colore', hago que el cielo se enamore
Y si las nube' lloran, que no lloren
Tengo a los árboles de profesore'
Me encanta sentir el viento, subir la monta?a sin aliento
Al final lo que importa es el intento
Solo me acompa?an mis haza?a', mi virtud, mi sentimiento
Para escribir la parte 2 del cuento

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

Yo no sé qué va a pasar ma?ana (Yo no sé, yo no sé)
Cuando atienda la luz que me llama (Que me llama)
Mami, mi futuro me reclama (Yes, yes, yes)
Camino hacia la luz (Camino, camino, huh, yeah)
I have nothing to lose (Camino hacia la luz, ma, camino, camino hacia la luz, ma)

The mountain, it is high
Yeah, the mountain's sad so the mountain cry
Tin god, the braided day
But the mountain stays on still
Don't lose yourself
If you don't stop now, then you're never gonna be done
Living under your gilded sun
On the mountain

Es el TR1
Huh, yeah, con Gori—, con Gorillaz, yeah
Desde Inglaterra hasta Argenti-ti—

Ah, the mountain, it is high
Yeah, the mountain's sad so the mountain cry
Tin god, the braided day
But the mountain stays on still
Don't lose yourself
If you don't stop now, then you're never gonna be done
Living under your gilded sun
On the mountain
(O-o-o-okay)

(Hahahahaha)

You never seen a killer with fangs and millimetres that bang
And killers need to be swangin' and still I reach ya
Y'all aren't ready for death until I showed up
Hold breath until you blow the one set my niggas throw up
How many times I gotta prove, y'all not to test me?
This uz' can be deadly, slugs move through your chest piece
It's all reality, beefin' with your blocks
Got you creepin' with your glock, now you sleepin' in a box
No one can convince the invincible to be sensible
Pits in the principal, my pistol won’t miss you all
Why shouldn't I diss you, dawg? I'm Leatherface
This E&J make me say your DNA's genetic waste
A medic case that’ll detonate, Derty Harry
A pathetic taste, a shroomhead that murder fairies
A recovering heroin addict, looking down the barrel of my parent's attic
Got this shotgun just swerving at it
My triggers have turned a pump into a uzi
You chumps do not move me, y'all jump inside movies
You scary dudes that hide behind ya niggas
Confide inside a squealer and died beneath a river
My urban strikes are not—
(Oh, I'm just fuckin', alright, come on, let's go)

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Let it go, let it go, let it go, huh, huh, yeah
Entro rompiendo la puerta
Acá no tenemos miedo, le estamos pegando la vuelta
Paso por tales portales que matan mortales, contales que el mundo revienta
Ti-Ti-Ti-Tiemblan las placas tectónica', suena la armónica, rinden las cuenta'
TR1 te saca la venda para que veas que la realidad no está en venta (Boom)
Sigo buscando el final del túnel, ah, busco esa luz que al final nos une
Solo los buenos son los que suben, las almas levitando como el volumen
Solo uno más en el cardumen, busco la paz todos los lune'
Soy de los que asumen a su mentira de lo que respiran cuando no hay perfume (Move 37, game over)

You're not alone, you're not alone, you're not even close
You're open, then you're closed, then you're open
You're not alone, you're not alone, you're not even close
You're true, then you're untrue, then you're true again
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
Slow release pills
You take them today
You take them for tomorrow (Only automatic now now, now, now, now)
Take them for tomorrow (Only automatic now now, now, now, now)
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Gorillaz is a collaborative musical project by Damon Albarn, frontman of the band Blur, and artist Jamie Hewlett, creator of Tank Girl. The project features four animated characters: 2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel, who make up a virtual hip-hop band. The Gorillaz' music videos blend animation, realism, and sound design, exploring themes of artifice and authenticity in music. The idea for Gorillaz came from observing MTV and realizing that most of the content was manufactured for consumption. Over their career, they have collaborated with artists like De La Soul, Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, and Elton John, helping to define the aesthetics and sounds of contemporary indie rock. Some of their most representative songs include "Clint Eastwood", "Feel Good Inc.", "DARE" and "On Melancholy Hill". Their self-titled debut album (2001) was a huge success, solidifying Gorillaz's position as one of the most innovative and influential bands of the 21st century.
