MILES SOLAY
I dream of fire but I sleep so cold
I raise the red flag on The Alamo
I want to show you how our lives unfold
Deep inside underneath it all
When you eat that salad and put on your shoes
Stare at that screen we’re looking out at you
The people who created, modern-day enslavement
“The greatest country!” Its a nation of sadists!
The babies who are buried before they can run
The children whose mothers have never known fun
The daughters whose bodies are sold for crumbs
Risk life and limb, its a planet of slums
CHORUS
Todos somos ilegales, todos somos ilegales
The defiant ones, our time has come
Todos somos ilegales
Fighting for a new way and a new day
Todos somos ilegales
MILES SOLAY
I walk the desert in the dead of night
I crawl through sewers, no clean water in sight
I cross the river to the other side
The American land of parasites
I’m that secret, that dirty little feature
The bones in the closet, lies told by teachers
The food, the clothes, the land, the phones
The buildings where your computers grow
See, that border ain’t sacred or chosen
The land we stand on, every inch of it stolen
How obscene that there’s people illegal
Vilified survival, the journey is lethal
CHORUS
Todos somos ilegales, todos somos ilegales
The defiant ones, our time has come
Todos somos ilegales
Fighting for a new way and a new day
Todos somos ilegales
RESIDENTE CALLE 13
No necesito documentos
Mirame a los ojos
Para que leas mi acento
Prohibido como la droga
Ilegal como un nazi
En una sinagoga
Contra indicado
Clandestino
Lo identificable
Lo contamino
Más de siesciento millones de persona
Gritando luz verde
Pa invadir Arizona
No necesito diplomas
Lo que aprendi
Lo vivi y lo almaceno en mis neuronas
Las experiencias
Son mis talleres
La vida es un estudio
Desde que se nace
Hasta que se muere
Asi cruce pal’ norte
Buscando buena vida
Componente vacio
De materia consumida
Dejé a mi abuela
Sola pa’ besarle el culo a Ronald McDonald
y tomar coca cola
CHORUS
Todos somos ilegales, todos somos ilegales
The defiant ones, our time has come
Todos somos ilegales
Fighting for a new way and a new day
Todos somos ilegales
We are all illegal, we are illegal

Having known this group since 2012, they have constantly released great and inspiring tracks with many topics revolving racism, immigration, the Latinx experience in Amerikkka, and anti-capitalist sentiments. Overall, this collective is a must-hear for any revolutionary mother fuckers out there who believe in the movement. YOUNG ARAMARK

Fiery Mexican feminist riot grrrl punk. You can buy their whole discography for a ridiculous price on Bandcamp. It's worth every peso, gringo.
