No talk, no, I have much to say
This is a story that I am tired of keeping in silence
The karmic wheel of life today gives me the chanceAnd now with love and certainty I will talk
At eight years old I started singing
Great-grandma left me the writing ability
First rhymes came at 10 testing my capacity
And the love for dance since eleven with tenacity
1985 I watched the movie breakdance
At seven I saw Turbo dancing in trance
With Bruce Lee movies in my mind as a child
I received what will influence my whole life
1991 second encounter with Hip Hop
I saw Boston Phase II Crew dancing at school
Obsessed to learn and after begging
Gigo gives me my first Queen Latifah cassette
After I was dedicated to practice
In the living room with my sister Denis
Opening the space with loud music
Creating choreographies became our ceremony
At the neighborhoods events and community centers
With my women we did amazing things I remember
Another Bad Creation Paula, Alba, Juliet, Denis
We showed that female talent could compete
Later B.O.W. Marcela, Slap and Olga
Dancing like the best, we were the bomb
Each event, each battle powerful souls
With strength our time was beautiful
Aerosol nights writing on the walls
With bandanas on the head and big pants
There were not many of us at that time
Invading the sidewalks with our dance
I′m talking about 1994
First big Medellin's gathering of Hip Hop
Where many rap crews rallied
Where my ladies paralyzed da audience
In that same year, sacred
Every weekend the party was fierce
Thrilled hopers and followers were pleased
"Da Hip Hop Place" was always exploiting
So new followers started to arrive
Using expensive clothes pretending to be Hip Hop
Little talent, jealous for fame
Involving guns Hip Hop they degraded
An American phenomenon of corporate greed
Fake gangsters influenced by appearances
Create a stream of divided Hip hop
Many of them their live have lost
1995 with Bianed I was
B.O.W. has became Black or White
Our goal respect for women
In Hip Hop al Parque we were representing
1996 Black or White must grow
Denis, Eliana, Cristina, Sandra, Dayanna, Alejandra and their voices
Female rap has to rise up
They were not afraid to speak up
We were hundreds blooming as a movement
Improving in unit everywhere flowing
Concerts, workshops, forums booming
"Hip Hop Congress" everything growing
Later "Ghetto Boy" with "Colombia Rap Cartel"
The reunion of Emcees that rapped with power
Inspector Fire, Rocky, Allrock, Mocho, XprectalD, Natrix, Javier, Cap, Content. made us stronger
Then with "Alianza N.R.P"
The power of acoustic rap we builded
Writing in partnership
And "Colombian from Neighborhoods" hit
Wisdom came from the Maya
Converting us in Galactic Alliance
The local news became global
The Thirteen Moon cause started
Mother Hip Hop saved me from the streets
Protected me, taught me imagination is key
Clarify your mind, open up your heart
There are many people in this form of art
Some give their best, others fool themselves
What we leave to Hip Hop children, ego or respect?
