| I was born in puerto rico | |
| We came here when i was a child | |
| Before i reached the age of sixteen | |
| I was running with the gang and we were wild | |
| He keeps looking but he don't recognize me. | |
| Some guy from lexington or park | |
| Red beans and rice from kitchen windows | |
| Supper-time and the barrio is dark. | |
| No one knows you like i do | |
| Nobody can know your heart the way i do | |
| No one can testify to all that you've been through | |
| But i will. | |
| Sal & the vampires | |
| I was born in puerto rico | |
| And my blood is taino | |
| Spanish caribbean my soul | |
| Salvador | |
| We came here wearing summer clothes in winter | |
| Hearts of sunshine in the cold | |
| Your family rented this apartment | |
| You'd watch the street lamps from your perch | |
| In the sacramental hour your stepfather in black | |
| Preached the fire of the pentecostal church | |
| No one knows you like i do | |
| Nobody can know your heart the way i do | |
| No one can testify to all that you've been through | |
| But this will. | |
| Sal & the vampires | |
| I was born in puerto rico | |
| Came here when i was a child. | |
| Salvador | |
| Small change and sunlight, then i left these streets for good. | |
| My days as short as they were wild. | |
| Carlos apache | |
| I'm carlos apache | |

| Salvador | |
| Twenty years inside, today you're free. | |
| You cannot even read your story | |
| The pages piling up in shame | |
| Before the words released you, the guard would kill the light | |
| The night you took the capeman for your name. | |
