Swim Pool Submit

[Verse 1][female mezzo vocals, rap, hip-hop] The lens sits still above Rionegro's wall, A silent eye that cannot catch a word. Five men in water, gathered at the call Of someone's leisure — nothing yet is heard. [Contra-Verse][male baritone vocals, melodic, ballad] The water's cool against old bones That carried rank and gun. Don Pablo holds his whisky glass And waits here for the sun. [Chorus][gang, melodic] A swim pool submit, a swim pool submit, people that shall not be together, together are. A swim pool submit, a swim pool submit, mountain breeze, high music and swimming suits against the mics. [Verse 2][female mezzo vocals, rap, hip-hop] Vélez counts the faces one by one: Arbeláez, Alcántara, and then The name that should not follow — Mojica's son Of cartels rival, floating with these men. [Contra-Verse][male baritone vocals, melodic, ballad] I float, I dip, I rise again, My drink still where it stood. The boy from Carlson's message came — Bard bit. The bait was good. [Chorus][gang, melodic] A swim pool submit, a swim pool submit, people that shall not be together, together are. A swim pool submit, a swim pool submit, mountain breeze, high music and swimming suits against the mics. [Verse 3][female mezzo vocals, rap, hip-hop] No mic was planted, only glass and light, The music carries farther than the talk. Bard will ask what burns behind this sight, And Perez only names it: "burning bridges, not a coup." [Contra-Verse][male baritone vocals, melodic, ballad] Rey Pilos comes in ten minutes more, His shadow on the tile. We do not speak of what's to come, We only trade a smile. [Chorus][gang, melodic] A swim pool submit, a swim pool submit, people that shall not be together, together are. A swim pool submit, a swim pool submit, mountain breeze, high music and swimming suits against the mics. [Verse 4][female mezzo vocals, rap, hip-hop] The file grows thick with what the eye alone Can prove is happening, but not why, or whose. [Contra-Verse][male baritone vocals, melodic, ballad] The men who should be enemies Now share one pool, one shade. Whatever debts get settled here, They won't be seen — just paid. [Final Chorus][gang, melodic] A swim pool submit, a swim pool submit, people that shall not be together, together are. A swim pool submit, a swim pool submit, mountain breeze, high music and swimming suits against the mics. A swim pool submit, a swim pool submit, Not a coup, they are burning bridges.
