Cheech And Chong - Born In East L.A. lyrics

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 mohuddles 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 Huh? 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 a bad moon rising Look here Alf*go, 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 Huh? 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 d**h valley days, 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 t.j. Cause 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 Cause I was born in East L.A, oh L.A East L.A
