Paroles
I was born in Puerto Rico
We came here when I was a child
Before I reached the age of 16
I was running with a gang and we were wild
He keeps looking, but he don't recognize me
Some guy from Lexington or park
Red beans and rice from kitchen windows
It's suppertime and the Barrio is dark
No one knows you like I do
Nobody can know your heart the way I do
No one can testify to all that you've been through, but I will
I was born in Puerto Rico
And my blood is taino
Spanish Caribbean in my soul
We came here wearing summer clothes in winter
Hearts of sunshine in the cold
Your family rented this apartment
You'd watch the streetlamps from your perch
In the sacramental hour your stepfather in black
Preached the fire of the Pentecostal Church
No one knows you like I do
Nobody can know your heart the way I do
No one to testify to all that you've been through, but this will
I was born in Puerto Rico
Came here when I was a child
Small change and sunlight, then I left these streets for good
My days as short as they were wild
(I'm Carlos Apache)
(Angel Soto)
(Frenchy Cordero)
(Babu Charlie Cruz)
Your features blurred in every grainy photo
And fading headline of the Daily News
Wiltwych School for Criminal Children
Auburn, Brooklyn House of D
Dannemora, Sing-Sing, Attica, Greenhaven
20 years inside, today you're free
You cannot even read your story
The pages piling up in shame
Before the words released you, the guard would kill the light
The night you took the Capeman for your name
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
(Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico)
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
