Paroles
See how we live, see right there on that corner
That’s where they sell the drugs (la manteca broder)
Run the numbers and, play dominoes, whistle at the fly ladies
You know, I’m Latino, hahahahaha (pa que sepa)
The dope gets sold by the bodega
While y’all call it dope, we call it the manteca
We don’t look for lotto numbers in the newspaper
We play it right over the counter by the Now &Laters
Sit down on milk crates and play dominoes
¡Capicu! Slam it down, tell 'em adios
Another round of beers before we go upstairs
And watch a fuzzy TV on some of the oldest chairs
Relax, take a bath and get nice and clean
Come out just in time for dinner, you know rice and beans
A little chicken, maybe tostones, it’s up to Ma
She might be tired keepin this house all up to par
Sometimes I look out the window and see some nice wheels
I got a thing for rims, they give me slight chills
Round here you get killed over a ice-grill
Guns pop but the O.G.'s carry knives still (word)
(Latinooooo) I’m that and I’m proud
If you don’t know us let me tell you about (Latinooooos)
We got beautiful women (la-la-la la-la-la la-la)
And they all seem to know their way around the kitchen
I’m (Latinooooo) yeah we stick together
We had hard lives so our skin is thick forever
We (Latinoooooos) I’m that and I’m proud (la la la la la la laaaa)
If you don’t know us let me tell you about
See e’ry block got a different crew
This kid I knew got paralyzed cause of his tattoo
And he wasn’t in a gang
Just some young punk tryin to come up and get a name
Put a bullet in his brain, it’s a shame
But yo, on a better note
Latina women look so good from head to toe, get 'em and never let 'em go
Baseball is big in my town
So is boxing, a hundred he don’t see the ninth round
These young girls is fresh, they like to get piped down
Babies havin babies, guess who on the WIC line now?
Guess who got welfare? Guess who on Medicaid?
Guess who left they kid with their girl for eleven days?
Without callin, cause he’s ballin
One year from now he’ll have a child support warrant
It happen all the time in my community
That’s the difference between someone like you and me — I’m
Big Chino got a truck, and a bike, and a boat
But Chino got a gun cause his life full of coke
And Chino havin fun, he don’t like bein broke
But Chino gon' be done, FBI is no joke
And I don’t want Chi' to get knocked
When the truck around he buy ice cream for the block
See where I’m from the kids look up to the hustlers
Even if they’re family with some of the customers
My abuela used to tell me to stay off the corner
You heard what happened to Mrs. Rivera’s daughter?
See she had got caught in the crossfire right there in broad day
Shot her in the back tryin run in the hallway
By my buildin all you hear is, «Oye
Ten cuidado la policia esta en la esquina de Broadway»
There’s action all the time in my neighborhood
But see we all mind our business like a neighbor should
See this one right here is for all my Latinos around the world
Around the world man, there’s so many of us man
Be proud of who you are man, I love y’all niggaz

Latinooooos
Traduction des paroles
Devinez qui a eu de bien-être? Devinez Qui Sur Medicaid?
Devinez qui a laissé leur enfant avec leur fille pendant onze jours?
Sans callin, parce qu'il est ballin
Dans un an il aura un mandat de pension alimentaire
Il arrive tout le temps dans ma communauté
C'est la différence entre quelqu'un comme toi et moi-je suis
Big Chino a un camion, un vélo et un bateau
Mais Chino a une arme parce que sa vie est pleine de coke
Et Chino havin fun, il n'aime pas être fauché
Mais Chino gon ' être fait, FBI est pas une blague
Et je ne veux pas que Chi se fasse frapper
Quand le camion autour il acheter de la crème glacée pour le bloc
Voyez d'où je viens les enfants admirent les arnaqueurs
Même s'ils sont de la famille avec certains clients
Mon abuela me disait de rester au coin de la rue
Vous savez ce qui est arrivé à la fille de Mme Rivera?
Vous voyez elle avait été prise dans le feu croisé juste là dans broad day
Elle a tiré dans le dos en courant dans le couloir
Par mon buildin tout ce que vous entendez est, " Oye
Ten cuidado la policia esta en la esquina de Broadway»
Il y a de l'action tout le temps dans mon quartier
Mais voyez nous nous occupons tous de nos affaires comme un voisin devrait
Vous voyez celui ci ici est pour tous mes Latinos à travers le monde
Autour de l'homme du monde, il y a tellement d'entre nous l'homme
Sois fier de qui tu es mec, je t'aime tous négro
Joell Ortiz
Latinooooos
