Lyrics Tu Lo Sientes? (Do You Feel It?) - 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,
I feel my beloved Barrio, my ghetto.
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 there's 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?
