[Intro - Radio Scan, Marching Hi-Hats, Distant Street Voices] [Male Voice - Natural, Rhythmic] Anybody else feel something weird in the air? Esa vibra pesada— no miente. Like the whole world hit pause but forgot to tell us why. [Radio Voice] Seguimos vivos. [808 + Cumbia Percussion Drop] [Verse 1 - Bilingual Rap] Not just me— todo el planeta lo siente Votaron por ellos ahora los niegan de frente Same office new face same flag in the wind Everybody swears this time they’re gonna fix it again País haciendo tratos con fantasmas viejos Capitalist sun communist moon same sky different egos Todos giran nadie gana everybody selling tomorrow like they own mañana And I’m outside looking up like— damn we made satellites medicine music and flamethrowers in the same species. [Beat Pause] That’s impressive. And concerning. [Pre-Hook - Nylon Guitar Riff] Maybe we’re doomed. Maybe reborn. Maybe we’re brilliant with terrible form. Eyes up. Feet down. La Tierra todavía sigue dando vueltas. [Hook - Male Lead + Crowd Response] SEGUIMOS VIVOS! [Crowd] Still learning! [Male] Earth keeps turning bass still burning [Crowd] Seguimos vivos! [Male] Smart enough to touch the stars dumb enough to bring our wars If somebody’s waiting on the other side— [Crowd] DON’T BLOW ’EM UP! [Percussion Break] [Verse 2 - Faster Bilingual Flow] I’ve stood close enough to presidents to know suits wrinkle too Watched people sell certainty when nobody had a clue Caminos de polvo gray skies overhead Whole continents arguing with things their grandfathers said Organizations with logos bigger than their souls Everybody drawing borders nobody controlling where the weather goes Quizá la verdad responde quizá no responde jamás Maybe every answer throws another question back Still— nylon strings 808 tires humming through the night Some kid on a rooftop looking at the same red light asking— are we really it? [Short Silence] Man. I hope not. [Synth Arpeggio Lifts] [Hook] SEGUIMOS VIVOS! [Crowd] Still learning! [Male] World keeps spinning tires still burning [Crowd] Seguimos vivos! [Male] Smart enough to reach that far dumb enough to weaponize a star If somebody’s living on the other side— [Crowd] DON’T BLOW ’EM UP! [Timbale Fill] [Bridge - Beat Switch, Spacey Cumbia Groove] [Male Voice] What if Earth’s the genius of the neighborhood? [Female Radio Voice] Or the problem. [Male] Fair. [Pause] Yá’át’ééh— hello from the blue one. We brought music. Water. Pictures of dogs. [Beat Stops] Please ignore the missiles. [Beat Returns] Imagine landing somewhere for the first time beautiful world new sky new people— and five minutes later somebody’s planting a flag. [Male + Crowd] No. No, no, no. [Male] Somos sabios. Somos ciegos. New galaxies— same old games. Maybe evolution gave us bigger brains before anybody taught us what to do with them. [Cumbia Percussion Builds] [Breakdown - Crowd Chant] [Male] Maybe we’re the smartest! [Crowd] Maybe not! [Male] Maybe we’re the worst artists! [Crowd] That’s a lot! [Male] Billions of years ahead of us— [Crowd] If we make it! [Male] Still looking for somebody— [Crowd] Hope they’re patient! [Full Beat Returns] [Final Hook - Biggest Groove] SEGUIMOS VIVOS! [Crowd] Still learning! [Male] Earth keeps turning bassline burning [Crowd] Seguimos vivos! [Male] No perfect people no perfect plan just one loud planet doing what it can If we meet them— hands first not guns [Crowd] DON’T BLOW ’EM UP! [Male] And if they find us— [Crowd] SAME RULE! [Instrumental Party Break - Nylon Guitar, Congas, Synth Bass] [Outro - Overlapping Street Voices] [Voice 1] Seguimos vivos. [Voice 2] Still learning. [Voice 3] Todavía aquí. [Voice 4] Still turning. [Male Voice] Maybe that’s enough for tonight. [Radio Static] [Crowd, Distant] Seguimos vivos! [Percussion Cuts]
