Hever Bustos

Hello, my name is Hever. I am 20 years old and I like music. For this reason, my offering in the program is interpreted in the form of lyrical rap.

I shout the poetry not everyone understands

Only people of color, indigenous, and their descendants.

People who were mistreated and remain

In racial struggle with the fucking colonizer

I have indigenous blood running through my veins

One generation ago my people were chained

My grandfather was murdered only because of his brown skin.

Today I feel pride of having it until this date

My features tell me that I never fear

To the gentrifiers and their damn system

They raise the rent and create a whole problem.

They want to imprison us with their shitty law

It’s a shame to know that we are the same

And receive bad treatment from people without manners

The education I have was learned on the street

And no white guy is going to be able to make me shut up
