Born In Puerto Rico I was born in Puerto Rico Came here when I was a child Before I reached the age of sixteen I was running with the gang and we were wild They see me but they don't recognize me Some guy from Lexington and Park And music from the windows Painted rainbows in the 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 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 street lamps 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 can 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 in sunlight, then I left these streets for good. My days as short as they were wild. I am Carlos Apache Angel Soto Frenchy Cordero Babu Charlie Cruz Tony Hernandez Salvador Agron Your faces blurred in every grainy photo And fading headline of the Daily News one year Wiltwyck School for Criminal Children, 3 years Auburn, 1 year Brooklyn House of D., 8 years Dannemora, 1 year Sing-Sing, 1 year Attica, 5 years Greenhaven. Twenty years inside, today you are free. You cannot even read your story The pages piling up in shame Before the words released you, the guard will kill the light The night you took The Capeman for your name. I was born in Puerto Rico I was born in Puerto Rico En la tierra hay bendito I was born in Puerto Rico El coqui de jibarito 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 I was born in Puerto Rico . . 2014.9.1
