i always say my neighborhood's got flavor
you say i give it too much credit
but what the **** do you know
about the puerto ricans across the street
who's little girls dance on plump legs
to music that vibrates their entire house
sure, you've seen the kingpin
that lives on our corner,
but you don't know that he plays
catch with his drug dealer's kids
and all those refugees
crowding up your corner store,
they're looking for an answer
just like you are,
but the difference is they've got
nothing to fall back on
because they're thousands of miles
from a friendly face and home
so when i tell you my neighborhood's got flavor
you should really say i don't give it credit enough
