Do you feel it

Yes I feel it

I feel my beloved barrio my ghetto

Do you feel it

This is the story of where I was born

No man's land

Between 115th street and 125th

Everyones today is talking about el barrio or their ghettos

About the hard times they had

We had hard times but we had good times too

I can remember the summer

Summertime was beautiful days were long

We didn't need any ocean breeze

To the left we had the Hudson River

To the right the East River

When we wanted to refresh ourselves

Who needed the ocean

We had the pump

You remember the johnny pump

All we needed was it a good good screwdriver and a can

And we were refreshed

And night the breeze was beautiful

Tar beach that was our meeting place

And we had we had fun galore

When I went home

My mother was beautiful

Our food was really together

Rice and beans that's our soul food

With a little cuchifritos in the side

And for a little dessert we had mavi

The grooviest taste and trigger want to try

Everything was beautiful to me

Margeritto my beautiful barrio my ghetto

Do you feel it

Yes I feel it but I feel it in another way

Do you feel it

I feel the pressure that keeps us down

Do you feel it

Yes I feel it I feel it baby but I feel it in another way

Do you feel it

El Barrio is the place that's up town

Do you feel it

I feel I feel I fear and the hate

Do you feel it

Thats were fear and hate is commonplace

Do you feel it

I said it tellin' you about being hungry

Do you feel it

Up town thats the place

That poverty abounds

Do you feel it

I used to love it there

The place where I was born

Do you feel it

But somewhere theres a better place

When I find it I'll be gone gone gone gone gone

Do you feel it

I feel it

I feel it in my bones

Do you feel it

Go and search for another another home

Do you feel it

Said I feel it

Feel it in my bones

Do you feel it

Soon as I can I'll be gone gone gone

Do you feel it

I feel it yes

I feel it

Do you feel it

Where poverty abounds

Do you feel it

I feel it

I feel it

Got to get away

Do you feel it

Gotta get away

Gotta get away

Gotta get away

Gotta get away
