MC Quixote

MC Quixote to the Cervantino Part 36

The Cervantino is one of the biggest fiestas in a country that embraces fiestas. It takes place in the colonial city of Guanajuato, Mexico about 300 miles north of DF; and for two weeks in October this pueblo fills up with thousands and thousands of people.

Artists come from all over the world to make the festival happen. There are musicians, dance troupes, theater groups, puppet societies, painters, sculptors, architects and designers, all working together to celebrate the arts. I can't think of a more fitting venue for MC Quixote and now this has become one of my goals, to perform at the Cervantino Festival; so I'll work harder to get there.

MC Quixote to the Cervantino

Making music que necesito

I brought my records and my tables

But I won't be promoting any labels

I'm an MC who knows Cervantes

I'm a DJ I got the mixed tapes

I'm writer trying to escape

The lines in the world

And the lines on this page

I've lived in Mexico

I've lived in Salt Lake

I claim the border

As my birth place

Between two cultures

They draw a line there

Over the wire

Birds cross and don't care

Don't got your papers

Now you have problems

Between both countries

I cannot solve em

I feel your pain there

Because you were born here

Not a millionaire, just a commoner

You can't get papers

You been waitin for years

You've worked in lawn care

You've been a nanny

You're cleaning toilets

And washing panties

You've cooked their meals

And did their dishes

They ate your food up

And killed your wishes

I'm MC Quixote and here to tell ya

The line, that lines been drawn out

They'll try to sell ya

Sell you a dream que no existe

Try to kill all, all your chiste

MC Quixote

A human being

I fight for justice

And keep on dreaming

I fight with words

I fight with sounds

You'll hear my music

All around
