Your rating:
[CARLOS BESS (English translation)] To all my people worldwide! Listen up! Reggaeton is taking over the world! You can't stop the Latin invasion! All the hottest rappers are doing it! We've even got MC Lars here representing Latin culture hardcore! Lars what do you have to say? [LARS] It's a Latin thing, It's a Latin thing, It's a Latin thing It's Daddy Lars on the track, but I can bust in Spanish too - I get bilingual on the mic that's what Californians do La musica de reggaeton has Puerto Rican soul- Las palabaras de las canciones son Espanol They speak Spanish out in Spain and in Chile too- Habla Espanol en Mexico and down in Peru In Cuba and Honduras and also Ecuador- In Puerto Rico, Panama and El Salvador They speak it in Salinas, and even in Manhattan- But Spanish is a language derived from ancient Latin And Latin is a term that refers to Ancient Rome But there's also Latin culture like the salsa in your home J-Lo is Latina, so thank you Puerto Rico There's two Mark Anthony's, one spoke Latin, one's Latino So let slip the dogs of war, because I really need to know How a Latin rap jam about Rome would go [CHORUS] It's a Latin thing and you can't go wrong Back in ancient Rome we partied all night long It's a Latin thing here's what we used to do Take over all of Europe with Caesar and his crew It's a Latin thing we've got it going on Rome's in ruins now but it used to be strong It's a Latin thing we take it back to ancient Rome And if Caesar were alive he'd bump that reggaeton With so much drama in 55 B.C. it's kind of hard to be a Roman dictator like me But I, somehow some way, Keep expanding and invading countries every single day From the Atlantic and back to the Adriatic Sea How could anyone alive not idolize me? The name is Julius, and yes I had a ball When I conquered France and Belgium, though it took a lot of Gaul So thank me for the salad, thank me for the C section [CARLOS BESS] But Julius, you didn't invent the Caesar salad, it was invented by Caesar Cardini in Mexico in 1924, Vato. [LARS] Guards, crucify this man, he doubts my perfection - We mix church and state, we keep the masses stupider You don't want a revolution, do you wan to anger Jupiter? You say the peasants are revolting? Well hey I knew that So, I'll throw another circus and the bread will keep them fat That's what dictators do, keep the people entertained So show up for the show and turn off your brain! [REPEAT CHORUS] The party's finally hapilating, the orgies have begun If you're feeling sick here's the vomitorium And I'll be Frank with you, I don't mean to be invasive Pompey's getting mad and boy is he abrasive By the time I get to Rome, you know it will be on Public Enemy crossing the Rubicon And so I'll "Fight the Power" become chief dictator Bringing down these haters like a killer Space Invader Cassius attacked me on the Ides of March I was capped like 50 cent, and best believe that smarts Friends who stab you in the back really rather phony "?Et tu Brute? I thought you were my homey" But the empire will grow, so please don't shed a tear That's it from me, Augustus take it from here All empires die, read a history book But for five hundred years Rome will be off the hook [REPEAT CHORUS] Cosa, Latina Cosa, Latina (Reggaeton!) Cosa, Latina Cosa, Latina (Reggaeton!)
