Do You Feel It Lyrics - A Man And His Music - Joe Cuba

do u feel it? 

yes i feel it 

i feel my beloved barrio, my ghetto.. 

do u feel it? 

this is the story of where i was born.. 

no man's land 

between 115th street and 125th 

everyones today is talking about el barrio, or their ghettos, 

about the hard times they had, 

we had hard times, but we had good times too. 

i can remember the summer, 

summertime was beautiful, days were long 

we didn't need any ocean breeze 

to the left we had the Hudson River 

to the right the East River 

when we wanted to refresh ourselves, 

who needed the ocean, 

we had the pump 

you remember the johnny pump 

all we needed was it a good good screwdriver and a can 

and we were refreshed.. 

and night the breeze was beautiful. 

tar beach, that was our meeting place 

and we had, we had fun galore. 

when i went home 

my mother was beautiful 

our food was really together 

rice and beans, that's our soul food 

with a little cuchifritos in the side 

and for a little dessert we had mavi, 

the grooviest taste and trigger want to try 

everything was beautiful to me 

margeritto, my beautiful barrio, my ghetto.. 

do u feel it? 

yes i feel it but i feel it in another way.. 

i feel the pressure that keeps us down.. 

do u feel it? 

yes i feel it, i feel it baby but i feel it in another way.. 

do u feel it? 

el barrio is the place that's up town 

do u feel it? 

i feel, i feel, i fear and the hate 

do u feel it? 

thats were fear and hate is commonplace 

do u feel it? 

i said it, tellin' you about being hungry 

do u feel it? 

up town, thats the place, 

that poverty abounds 

do u feel it? 

i used to love it there 

the place where i was born 

do u feel it? 

but somewhere theres a better place 

when i find it, i'll be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.. 

do u feel it? 

i feel it 

i feel it in my bones 

do u feel it? 

go and search for another, another home.. 

do u feel it? 

said i feel it 

feel it in my bones 

do u feel it? 

soon as I can, i'll be gone, gone, gone 

do u feel it? 

i feel it yes 

i feel it 

do u feel it? 

where poverty abounds 

do u feel it? 

i feel it 

i feel it 

got to get away 

do u feel it? 

gotta get away 

gotta get away 

gotta get away 

gotta get away 

do u feel it? 

do u feel it?
