Coquí
Omarion & Wyclef Jean Lyrics

Puerto Rico is where she come from
The woman he's singing about is from Puerto Rico

She asked me do I love her that recorded song
The woman asked him if he loves her as much as he loves his music

By si si si si bunoes bonita.
He's complimenting her using Spanish words such as 'buenos' and 'bonita'

You wanna ever be mine stay on hip hop
He tells her if she wants to be with him she needs to be into hip hop music

But tonight where gonna reggaeton the whole club.
However, tonight they are going to dance to reggaeton, not hip hop

I see you party in the streets,
He sees people partying outside

See my myself climbing in the
He imagines himself climbing up the building

Seats the hood is like heaven now reminiscing
From up high, the hood looks amazing and he starts to remember the old times

Them days when I thought about throwing on a towel
He thought about giving up on music

The night before the month was like Christmas
The night before getting paid was exciting like Christmas

This kid keep hustling me sometimes I felt
People tried to hustle him and he felt overwhelmed

Like I couldn't breath I would have to sit back
He felt so overwhelmed it was hard to breathe and he had to take a break

And play naive and it hurt watching my mum struggle
He pretended to be naive and it was hard to watch his mom struggle

Trust me when you broke and hungry it's hard
Being broke and hungry is a hard situation

To stay out of trouble it's a survival of the fittest
It's hard to avoid trouble when you're in a tough situation

Whatever it took to bring money to the table
He did whatever it took to make money

I did it even my girl lost faith in me
Even his girlfriend lost faith in him

Left me out trapped in this negative energy
She left him in a negative place

Listening deeply but I have to keep on
He listened to the criticism, but still continued to pursue his music career

Moving I refuse to let this darkness, cath up to me
He kept moving forward and didn't let the negativity catch up to him

Dowled up but it was just a distraction
Getting dressed up was just a distraction from his problems

Even the streets never gave us a little time to relax
The streets were always stressful and never allowed any relaxation

Writing my rhymes to a vibe scap in the corner
He wrote his music while in a corner, vibing off the mood

Wrapped me like a cake I'm trying to be this super man
He felt trapped like a cake in a box but still aimed to be a superhero

In the ghetto get this paper take this music
He made music to escape the ghetto and make money

To a whole new level trouble found me now
Despite making progress, he still encountered problems

I found myself in Puerto Rico spy got hot
He traveled to Puerto Rico and got into some trouble

I had to roll living with my paps
He moved in with his dad to get out of Puerto Rico

I really don't no missing my lady try not to tell it show
He didn't know if he missed his girlfriend and tried not to show it

Her new man telling her I would probably never blow
Her new man told her that he would never make it as a musician

Wanted to tell to the flow I know robbin' it stay in the zone
He wanted to tell his haters he knew he would succeed and to stay on their own path

And move hard or go home open my eyes now
He realized that he needed to work hard or give up

I see myself on the rock miens bonitas
He sees himself on beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico

Everywhere I wanna ride
He wants to explore and travel around Puerto Rico

All you gotta do is listen
He urges his audience to listen to his music

Banno yellow telia mama(yeah, yeah, yeah)
He sings a line in Spanish about a beautiful girl

Seie tiel mama bata
He sings more Spanish lyrics

Bitu weil teia sicla
He continues singing in Spanish

Como elese wella
He sings another line in Spanish

Si pak pak wella
He finishes his Spanish verse

I never thought I would see the day
He never thought he'd make it as a successful musician

That I will be getting money making music
But he's making money from his music now

So these hatters wouldn't take nothing off me
He's now successful enough for haters to not bother him

When the chicks wouldn't holla I just
When he wasn't getting attention from girls, he just worked harder

Play them back all I had was a flow and a ball
He sang to the girls using just his skills and music

Cap, watch right across the room
He sees his haters across the room staring at him

Thinking they will be dancing to me soon so
He imagines them eventually enjoying his music and dancing to it

I'm in the game selling the streets though rapped
He's selling his music on the streets

So hard that I'm in Puerto Rico Puerto Rico
He's made it so big that he's even been to Puerto Rico to perform

All you gotta do is listen
He continues to urge his audience to listen to his music

She looks fine just whistle at her
He tells men to whistle at cute girls they see

See the cops coming then just miss at her
If the cops show up, they should let the girl go

If I can't spend my weekend in a cell century
He doesn't want to spend his weekend in jail

Reggaeton, reaggaeton, reggaeton (carnival style)
He wants to dance to reggaeton music
