El Barrio Lyrics

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem

How could I ever forget

How you made who I am

How you helped mold the man

How you gave me my fam

Gave me something to hug

When the rug was getting pulled

Gave me Triple A One Tenth and First

Electric like wool

Before we called it Hajis

Before molly it was mesci

Kicking it like Messi

Kept my heart from feeling empty

Go to Jeff pick up Chris

Hit second Ave scoop up Cello

Keep it moving walk to third

Like we was riding on a cello

Hit the plaza call up Bee

Ey yo somebody hit up Gee

I got two fifty on that basi

Who got the bottle?

Hit up E

Puddy Pudge and Ronnie B

Dan and Brook

Big O and Cooch

Time to get loose run a full

Ray and Wally

They was the truth

Big Aub could play the one through five

God bless his soul

Those days were live

The days of our lives

El Barrio Spanish Harlem

We rise

To stay alive and thrive

Knowing the odds not on our side

But still we ride to promised lands

Ignoring the signs

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

A love story for the ages

Was blind but now I see

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

A love story for the ages

Was Blind but now I see

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

A love story for the ages

Was blind but now I see

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

El Barrio and me

It's where you at

Where you from where you at

Facts in fact

When I reminisce over you

I Pete Rock

My CL Smooth give me vision

The stance in this dance

More romance

Her love put my heart in a trance

How could you cause so much pain

But still love us so deeply

How could you wash us with rain

And give yourself so completely

Treated you like side chicks

With no conflict you held us

Felt us

Cause those feelings had no ceiling

It was you it was me

It was us

It was Jerry

A Cut Above

It was the club

It was Pee Wee and Grimace

It was love

It was respect

For whatever lane

You happened to frequent

We made it to the weekend

Like the Weekend

Blinded by light

Home of the brave

Home of the brave

Land of the free

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

El Barrio and me

A love story for the ages

A love story for the ages

Was blind but now I see

Was blind but now I see

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

A love story for the ages

Was blind but now I see

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

A love story for the ages

Was blind but now I see

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

A love story for the ages

Was blind but now I see

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

El Barrio and me

Unconditional not a ritual

Or subliminal

You straight up like Paula

Top baller borough imploder

You Thanos with a snap

Crack like Joey

Whips or Badass

Khloe Kardash hustle

In the mist of the ash

Atmospheres clash

But easy to pick

Cause when when I walked

Up the steps of One Tenth and Lex

I was getting my fix

Mi gente in the building

Building for our children

In the wilderness

Even the feigns

Played their position

Your obnoxiousness partly survival

Partly for your rivals

Partly to make us soldiers

Partly denial

Knowing that in a moments notice

Things fall apart

Striving to make your mark

Heart of a champ

Light in in the dark

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

A love story for the ages

Was blind but now I see

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

A love story for the ages

Was Blind but now I see

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

A love story for the ages

Was blind but now I see

Home of the brave

Land of the free

El Barrio and me

El Barrio and me

It is a special one

It's never seen the sun

It only comes out

When the moon is on the run

And all the stars are gleaming
