It's A Latin Thing

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?

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

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

But Julius, you didn't invent the Caesar salad,

it was invented by Caesar Cardini in Mexico in 1924, Vato.

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!

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
