Deathless
Ibeyi Lyrics
(He said, he said)
(He said, he said)
Do you smoke?
What's your name?
Do you know why I'm here?
(She was, she was)
Innocent
Sweet sixteen
Frozen with fear
Whatever happens, whatever happened (oh hey)
We are deathless
We are deathless
Whatever happens, whatever happened (oh hey)
We are deathless
We are deathless
(He said, he said)
You're not clean
You might deal
All the same with that skin
(She was, she was)
Final looks
With her books
Left for dead in the streets
Whatever happens, whatever happened (oh hey)
We are deathless
We are deathless
Whatever happens, whatever happened (oh hey)
We are deathless
We are deathless
Whatever happens, whatever happened (oh hey)
We are deathless
We are deathless
Whatever happens, whatever happened (oh hey)
We are deathless
We are deathless

These girls are COMMUNISTS. In Cuba we are taught to hate the “Yankees”, hate the USA & hate Capitalism. Their father was a musician during the USSR era of Cuba & was always traveling out of Cuba when it was ILLEGAL for average Cubans to do so. They praise Che & Fidel openly & preach Communism during their interviews WHILE earning Capitalist foreign dollars. Those dictators (Fidel murdered Che over power, every Cubans knows that) are the reason Cuba is a rotting, disgusting, vile, shameful & oppressive country.
This a video of Che, Fidel & Camilo sentencing black men to a firing squad WITHOUT a trial on NATIONAL CUBAN TELEVISION:

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THESE WOMEN LOOK UP TO!
They should be be ashamed & exiled (like millions of Cubans have been since 1959) because of their Anti-American agenda. Don’t support these ladies, you Yankees! They HATE you & always will just like their "role models" have taught them to.
