J. Period, Joell Ortiz, Lin-Manuel Miranda - Gran Combo lyrics
[J. Period, Joell Ortiz, Lin-Manuel Miranda - Gran Combo lyrics]
Yo, is that that Grand Combo
Joint? Yep that's it yo turn it up
I'm from an island in the Caribbean
Three point four million Taino Indian
Children play in the sun, have fun
And run silly and
No shoes, chasing a coqui frog amphibian
How I wish that was real
But it's obviously different
Seventy billion dollar debt
The economy sit's in much of my family back
Home is poverty stricken
And they think life here is
Hitting the lottery ticket
They don't know bout
Police brutality whippets
They don't know my skin tone
Had me thrown in prison
They don't know gentrification has our
Neighborhood shifting and immigrants
Build buildings they can't afford to live in
Let's not talk about the Donald stuff
It's like a long Disney movie watching
All the quеstions Donald ducks
But what trumps everything is
Hustle and vision
So my kitchеn is a product of not
Having a pot to piss in
My new car is synonymous to
My drive and ambition
Buello's ashes with mami
I earned it and nothing was given
I give in for nothing
It's like I don't get enough of winning
Tryna be triumphant, bring the trumpets in it
(Wepa)
Lin Miranda i'm from a
Long line of latin music multihyphenates
When you grow up on Dyckman it's
This music all your life and it's alot of
Dimelo tigre
No se aqui and then snatching the
Yankee hat and playing keep away
Now peep the way that Bomba y Plena
Is as hot as abuela's avena
When I tune in to Telemundo yo
The Iris Chacon esta buena
The separate fridge in the
Bodega cold Presidente
GW Bridge to the Heights, let me rep mi gente
Dead in the middle of minimal visibility
I thread the filigree
About bilingual versatility
So come with me and my Walter Mercado regalia
You take the puente with Tito
I'll take a cruise with Celia
And Aventura with Romeo, or Ojala Que Llueva
Cafe con Juan Luis Guerra
Okay cantante mi tierra
You want a Gran Combo
You got the sweet and sour
Of, from then to now, it's New Yorican power
J-Period joell Ortiz
This bodega is lit right now!
Yo, all the way up the windows rather
Usnavi where you at! Lin Miranda
J-Period with the story to tell joell Ortiz
This bodega's lit
Joint? Yep that's it yo turn it up
I'm from an island in the Caribbean
Three point four million Taino Indian
Children play in the sun, have fun
And run silly and
No shoes, chasing a coqui frog amphibian
How I wish that was real
But it's obviously different

Home is poverty stricken
And they think life here is
