[Verse 1]
I was born in puerto rico
We came here when i was a child
Before i reached the age of sixteen
I was running with the 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 supper-time and the barrio is dark
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
I was born in puerto rico
We came here when i was a child
Before i reached the age of sixteen
I was running with the 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 supper-time and the barrio is dark
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
