Those Boriquas



So many people like 2 talk smack 'bout those Boriquas
What they don`t realize is that they're beneath us
If they took the time to look then they'd realize
That we're all just misunderstood Boriquas
Lots of ignorant people think they can beat us
But they just want to be us
Proud n` strong
No matter what goes wrong
Stridin` to climb to get where we want
Cause Those Boriquas know it won`t be long
Won`t be long til our time comes
To rise n` shine `bove our wrongs
With great sense of pride
That our lil Boriquas abide
From the life long storys of Those Boriquas
