Pt.1 Invitation: Arcoíris De Dreamers

We invite you. Seriously
Simple request... entra.
Nuestras puertas están abiertas.
You haven't killed our humanity
We can still breathe
Even con tu presión en el cocote.

Watering those cracks en tu Arcoíris
We must pass by space, water & time
To really see our beauty from slavery,
Dictatorship y deportación
Remember stay Oprah dreaming
Through it all - Hi Celie.

Bienvenido to our rainbow
Natures greatest accomplishment
All the colors debajo del sol
Where the turtle wins
Without hurting the rabbit
Making birds chirp summer shine

Mira nuestro Arcoíris de Dreamers
Everything must not be a debate
A political statement
A stand
To your cracker barrel ass
Can I breathe?

We must all see nuestro Arcoíris
That self invitation to clarity
Esa Alegría con nuestro inner azúcar salsera,
Ese amor furioso,
Dale kindness, a tu inclusiveness
Y llena lo de compasión

Te invito to your Arcoíris sin colores
We know it's hard to face
Imagínate abrazar your unknown?
You must stare at your true colors
From the Red Tara plantation soil
To those Yankee Blues.

Where are you really from americano?
Tell us about your history
Blanco is not a place.
Do the fucking work!
Nike that shit and Just Do It!
Mama Mercedes y Ahmed go through it.

Mi gente miren bien a los Arcoíris
Que ellos invitan que gatan lentamente
Antes de aceptar su mic check, mic check
Check su dance, check su Dribble
Check su lanzar
Cuidado with them fuku contracts

Stop inviting us to your Arcoíris teatral
To our past tétrica trauma
Stop asking POC for certain colors
It’s our choice to write about it
Esos momentos esperpentos
Eternally embedded on loop

Nuestra vida, un baile sin parada
Do the FUCKING work blankitos
400 years haven't taught you
That you can’t break our spirit
Este melanin es Magia bacana
Afro-latina, caribeña americana

Is that why we get those Grants Arcoíris?

Staring at your rainbow sin color
Constantly visiting our trauma
For your pleasure
Within our sanctuary spaces
Esos pisos negros
Llenos de colores que pintamos

To put pomade on bruises
Then SHINE in front of you
then wash it out in the dressing room
Remember ‘Every nigga is a star’
Ya love shooting down
Slowly nowadays

I invite you mi gente Arcoíris
To not forget that every check
Is part of your melanin being sold
Helping them stay rich
Stay woke
In their seasonal plush seats

You invite me to disrespect the Arcoiris
Myself,
You,
Our humanity
Constantly for a check
Those days are done locon!

How does a futuro get imagine Arcoíris?
If we don’t start to detallarlo ourselves
Comenzar a pintar el canvas
Planting positive blossoming light
Painting those blocks llenos de brilliance
Start small don’t rush

Remember refraction has happened Arcoíris
The white light has scattered through it all
Deseado y no deseado, ha tocado todo
It has not seen us without force
Tienes que bailar en esas aguas
Y simply accept

Entonces sigue pintando ese Arcoíris
With more positive images of oneself
That beautiful vision of what we are
Where we could all be headed
Pero todos debemos pasar por el rainstorm
And your lapel is looking mighty dry my g!

We must flourish blossom out Arcoíris
This constant drought.
Let us never forget the cacti
Stores aqua. Ya sabe…
It has evolved pass the desert.
Sin cambiar su paisaje.

Drink échale agua a tus roots Arcoíris.
Nunca olvides tu proceso
No te pierdas en el constante
Querido Arcoíris semillita.
A beautiful vision
To come up with such magic

Know that the best time to see the Arcoíris
Is always going to be after the rainstorm
Has ended
Droplets y sunlight
’Are needed for the Arcoíris
For the spectacle to happen.
