West Side Story definitely isn’t anything new, although Stephen Spielberg didn’t hold back with his rendition of the classic musical. The film is set to arrive in theatres on December 10th, but ahead of that, Kali Uchis and Ozuna have shared “Another Day In America,” a political track that will appear on the forthcoming soundtrack.
Uchis’ new release is a reimagining of “America” from the original West Side Story. While she kept the melody the same, she reworked the lyrics from “I like to be in America / Everything free in America,” to “Everything changed in America / Who do you think built America?”
Kali Uchis – Another Day In America (ft. Ozuna) (prod. Manuel Lara & OneSix)
[Letra de “Another day in America”]
[Pre-Chorus: Kali Uchis]
Another day in America
“A blessing soul”, they say
Sacrifice don’t stop at the border
The nightmare at the border was sold as a dream
[Chorus]
Everything changed in America
Except nothing changed in America
Wanna tell me what’s America
But who do you think built America?
[Post-Chorus: Kali Uchis]
Money, greed
Money, greed
[Verse 1: Ozuna]
Raices de Latinoamérica (-américa)
Conquistando el mundo llegué hasta la Ibérica (Woh-oh)
Aquí to’ somo’ iguale’ (Iguale’), aunque se vive en histeria
¿Qué tal si nos queremo’ como cuando en la feria? (En la feria)
Uno jugaba de niño como en los viejo’ tiempo’, eh
¿En qué momento todo cambió?
La vida es una palabra y se las lleva el viento (Viento)
Hay que alimentar a la familia
A la doña, a la nena, a mai (Mai)
Me gustan toda’ la’ cultura’, moda Italia o Shanghái (Woh-oh-oh)
Quisiera tumbar la frontera de México a Nigeria (A Nigeria)
Y tener pa’ terminar con el hambre y la miseria, cosa seria (Woh-oh, oh-oh, yeh-eh)
[Chorus: Kali Uchis]
Everything changed in America
Except nothing changed in America
Wanna tell me what’s America
But who do you think built America?
Everything change in America
Except nothing changed in America
Wanna tell me what’s America
But who do you think built America?
[Verse 2: Kali Uchis]
Money, greed, poison in the food
Profit off the prisions and the brainwash in the schools
If you watch the media, that will keep you fooled
As locked to the screens, keep scrolling on your phones
Money, greed, all that we consume
Say “Land of the free”, but that land was always stolen
Mass incarceration and the detention centers
Everything that they did to us never made the news
[Chorus: Kali Uchis]
Everything changed in America
Except nothing changed in America
Wanna tell me what’s America
But who do you think built America?
Everything change in America
Except nothing changed in America
Wanna tell me what’s America
But who do you think built America?
