Lyrics Born In East L.A.

Took a walk to the corner store
Just to buy a loaf of bread and a box of s'mores
Up pulled a guy in a yellow van
Shiny gold badge flashing in his hand he said
Alright all you mojados down here
I want you all to hit the floor
I got one thing to ask you and nothing more
So answer in English if you can
Where were ya born man
Hu, where was I born
That's right I said where were ya born
Hey are you one of those dudes who do horoscopes man
Hey I'm a cancer with
Look here el fago a bad moon rising watch my lips
Where were ya born
I was born in east L.A. man I was born in east L.A.
Oh yeah you were born in east L.A.
Let's see your green card uh
Green card
I'm from east L.A.
Alright then who's president of the United States
Oh that's easy man that guy that used to be on
Death Valley Days uh John Wayne
Alright let's go come on
Next thing I know
I'm in a foreign land
People talkin' so fast
I couldn't understand
There was nobody there to lend a helping hand
I was cold it was dark where is a burger stand
I want to go back to east L.A.
I wish I was back in east L.A.
I don't belong here in downtown TJ
'Cos I was born in east L.A. ole
I crawled under barbed wire swam across a stream
Rode in six different trucks packed like a sardine
Walked all day in the burning sun
Now I know what it's like to be born to run
Up ahead was the promised land
Shining like a star just beyond my hand
All I could see was a golden door
I looked up a sign said five billion sold
And I was back in east L.A.
Yes I was back in east L.A.
You know I'm never gonna stray
'Cos I was born in east L.A. oh lah leh
I'm a low rider rocker
I'm from east L.A. we like this
East L.A. oh lah leh
Is there no doubts and it's a chevrolet ooh sah leh
What I say east L.A. ah lah leh
Solo strip broke loh doh wah doh
Sing this
Radio palama, mah lah leh
I'm a low rider rocker from uh Malawi
I was born I was born in east L.A. what you say
East L.A.
Don't be late
Brr eeh whose are they
Brrr ah ah ah ah ah
Oh lah leh
I'm from east L.A. what I say
East L.A.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
East L.A.
