Rosario (1999)

Lyrics

[Spoken: Rosario Dawson] Dear Diary, Wednesday, 1999 Night before Thanksgiving: Wondering what the Holy Day… I got a lot to be thankful for While my people's catchin' hell in the worst way There's as many black males and Latinos in jail as there are in the streets, OK? Is it my imagination, or is there some deviation from the part that God wanted us to play? First of all, there's the name "Christmas": Which means, get this, "Send Christ away" "Mass" from the Latin word "missa" as spoken by the priests of old We're saying if the face of the true king was shown today To its foundations would shake the earth And so the reason for the ganda and propa: To distort the king's color and the date of his birth Open your mind, there's not much time This is Rosario, 1999
