Roots

Boricuuuaaaaaaa pa que lo 
sepa. White rice and beans on 
the dinner plate got yelled at 
by your mom for being 10 
minutes late . el coqui you hear 
at night the coquito you drink 
during Christmas time . Los 
timbales hasta La conga musics 
in our blood el ritmo nos 
Levanta. Familia Es todo and 
when times are rough we count 
on each other . From el morro 
to el yunce Los boricuas 
sabemos hacer arroz con dulce 
.frankie Ruiz to Marc Anthony 
all these salseros will go down 
in history .the beautiful 
beaches in San Juan sipping on 
that Puerto Rican rum , 
dominoe games with the old 
timers yelling CAPICU ahora 
ganas tu. Puerto Rico se llama 
la isla del encanto y cuando 
muere alguien rezamos a 
nuestro santo. La mujeres son 
bella y los hombres son guapo. 
El orgullo de ser boricua. No es 
tu nacionalidad tipica. Sabemos 
cocinar y bailar hasta la muerte 
será boricua

Am I seeing things right now?! Puerto Rican??? I'm a cross of Arecibo (my Mother) & San Sebastian (my Father), born & raised in Jersey. Frankie Ruiz!? Are you serious?! "Quiero cantar de nuevo caminar! Y mis amigos puedo visitar"...I think I got that right. Holy crap that's awesome! Frankie Ruiz, Hector Lavoe, El Gran Combo...viva la Salsa. =)
