No te vayas
Si me dejas
Si te alejas de mi
Seguirás en mis recuerdos para siempre
Para siempre
Para siempre
Para siempre
Para siempre
Lights out on Washington heights
And now the crack of dawn the blackout
Goes on and on and on
Sonny's out back sortin' the trash
As I think about the past
With the sack full of cash
Abuela really wanted me up on the beach
With margaritas in my reach
But soon that's how it's gonna be
Imagine me leavin' today
On a seven- forty- seven
Boardin' J F K
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow
Carla and daniela
The hydrants are open
Piragua guy
Piragua piragua
New block of ice piragua
So sweet and nice piragua
Piragua piragua
Good morning
Siempre
Seguiras en mis recuerdos
Para siempre
Para siempre
Para siempre
Para siempre
I'll be downtown
It won't be long now
There's a breeze of the hudson
And just when you think you're
Sick of living of here the memory
Floods in
The morning light off the fire escapes
The nights at bennett park blasting
Big pun tapes
I'm- a miss this place to tell you the truth
Kevin dispensin' wisdom
From his dispatch booth
And at dawn vanessa at the salon
We gotta move on
And who's gonna notice we're gone
When our jobs done
When the evening winds down to a crawl son
Can I ease my mind when we're all done
When we've resigned in the long run
What do we leave behind
Most of all I miss abuela whispers
Doin' the lotto pick six every christmas
In five years when this whole city's
Rich folks and hipsters who's gonna
Miss this raggedy little business
But it'd do haha great sunlight
This morning
Yo cuz we fixed the grate
Yo what'd I tell you about this punk
You must commission an artist while
His rate is still good
It's the first work in my new series
He hates it
Shhh he's formin' an artistic opinion
You did this last night
Yeah
There goes my flight
Wah
Graffiti pete you're gonna
Need some new cans
Here some money finish up
There's been a slight change
Of plans
Nice
Listen up guys you gotta
Job I'm not playing
You gotta go now tell the
Whole block I'm staying
Go ahead tell everyone ya know sonny
Alright go
Yeah I'm a streetlight chillin'
In the heat
I illuminate the stories
Of the people in the street
Some have happy endings
Some are bitter sweet
But I know them all and that's what
Makes my life complete
We're home
If it's not me who keeps our legacies
And who's gonna keep the coffee
Sweet with secret recipes
Abuela rest in peace
You live in my memories
But sonny's gotta eat
This corner is my destiny
Sonny nina carla daniela
We're home
Brings out the best in me
We pass a test we keep pressin'
And yes indeed
You know I'll never leave
You can close your eyes
That hydrant is beat
The siren is a breeze
The fire escape is a leaf on a palm tree
We're home
Abuela I'm sorry
But I ain't goin back
Because I'm telling your story
I'm not sayin' goodbye to your smilin'
I found my island
I've been on it this whole time
And I'm home
We're home
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow
It's a wonderful life that I've known
Merry Christmas ya ole building a loan and I'm home
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow
Abuela that ain't a stoop
That's your throne
Right after your birds have all flown
I'm home
Where the coffee's nonstop
And I drop this hip- hop
And my mom and pop shop
We're home
Where people come
People go
Let me show all these
People what I know
There's no place like home
Let me get the record straight
I'm stepping to vanessa
I'm gettin' the 2 nd date
I'm home
We're home
Where it's a hundred in the shade
But with patience and faith
We remain unafraid
I'm home
You here that music in the air
Take a train to the top the world
And I'm there I'm home
Home
