[Verse 1]
It was the morning of October 6th, 1960
I was wearing my brown suit
Preparing to leave the house of D
Shook some hands then adios Brooklyn, amigos
Maybe some of them had hopes of seeing me again
Some even said that my judge-
Judge Gerald Culkin-
Wouldn't play it by the book
Maybe let us off the hook
But, woh-oo-woh, I knew better
[Chorus 1]
Afraid to leave the projects
To cross into another neighborhood
The blancos and the nigga gangs
Well, they'd kill you if they could
[Chorus 2]
Angel of mercy, people are suffering
All over the world
Spanish children are taught on their knees
To believe
Angel of mercy, people are suffering
All over the island tonight
Mothers weep
Sisters grieve
