Emanuel Xavier - Bushwick Bohemia

Para mi gente...
chequealo...
Bushwick on my mind
quinceñeras at the bodega
with their pretty pink dresses
luscious dark eyes
longing to cut the Valencia cakes
while Mr. Softee lingers
over coco helados y piragueros
fighting for the last dollar

Across the street,
santeros dressed in white
with their collares
buying chickens at the poultry shop
for their next tambor
to be held this Sunday
in someone else's crowded basement

Maggie cruisin' back and forth
back and forth
Keeping the dealers in check
As the sounds of beepers
Rotweiller fights
Freestyle
