Tribe of Gypsies - En Mi Barrio

En mi barrio you got to learn how to make it
En mi barrio take a chance to begin
En mi barrio understand the religion
Em mi barrio in this world that we're in
All my friends in my neighborhood
Are either dead or up to no good
But there's another side to be told
And this is how the story goes

En mi barrio you got to learn how to make it
En mi barrio take a chance to begin
En mi barrio understand the religion
Em mi barrio in this world that we're in
Working hard for uncle sam
Coming home with blood-stained hands
It's getting hard to make ends meet
To keep our children off the street

En mi barrio you got to learn how to make it
En mi barrio take a chance to begin
En mi barrio understand the religion
Em mi barrio in this world that we're in
