00:00We are here, I can flow, you can flow, let's do it like this, you can feel it, Mexico in the beat,
00:10Paul Astor on the table, pass me that mic.
00:14For me, graffiti is born and exists because it exists in the cities.
00:19These cities are heavy, unfair, violent.
00:25Graffiti is a competition because the city is a competition.
00:29But what is not understood is that it is not the conception from the power,
00:34it is the conception from those who had nothing.
00:37The people who built graffiti were people who lived among the ruins,
00:42people who needed at the time to leave those ruins and say,
00:46here I am and my name is like this.
00:48It may be that you step on me, crush me, but I am here.
00:52And when you are not seeing me, I will put my name on the streets.
00:55It is not my competition to be the first, it is to exist.
00:59The power of the world, of the cities, of the governments is still the same.
01:16The one that does not work, must be eliminated.
01:18The one that does not work, must be imprisoned.
01:21You have to buy it.
01:25I give you this money, I give you this place, I give you this dress,
01:29and now it is part of my government, of my servants.
01:33And a path within graffiti is to take advantage of this system in which we live
01:38to generate your own way of existing.
01:41Now that the movement is so big, we have to rethink graffiti from there.
