Coquí
Omarion Feat. Wyclef Jean Lyrics

Puerto Rico is where she come from
The girl is from Puerto Rico

She asked me do I love her that recorded song
She wanted to know if he loves her for her, not just her fame

By si si si si bunoes bonita.
He sings a compliment to her in Spanish

You wanna ever be mine stay on hip hop
She needs to stay in the hip hop genre if she wants to be with him forever

But tonight where gonna reggaeton the whole club.
They are going to play reggaeton music for the entire club tonight

I see you party in the streets,
He sees her enjoying the party atmosphere in the streets

See my myself climbing in the
He imagines himself joining the party

Seats the hood is like heaven now reminiscing
The neighborhood feels like paradise as he remembers the past

Them days when I thought about throwing on a towel
He felt like giving up during tough times

The night before the month was like Christmas
He remembers struggling to make ends meet each month

This kid keep hustling me sometimes I felt
He was always being pressured by others to hustle and make money

Like I couldn't breath I would have to sit back
The pressure made it hard for him to breathe and he needed to take a break

And play naive and it hurt watching my mum struggle
He pretended to not know about his mother's struggles but it still pained him to watch her suffer

Trust me when you broke and hungry it's hard
It's difficult to survive when you have no money and are hungry

To stay out of trouble it's a survival of the fittest
It's hard to avoid trouble and only the strongest survive

Whatever it took to bring money to the table
He did whatever was necessary to provide for his family

I did it even my girl lost faith in me
Even when his girlfriend doubted him, he still worked hard to succeed

Left me out trapped in this negative energy
She left him when he was surrounded by negative energy and situations

Listening deeply but I have to keep on
He was listening to her but he knew he had to move on

Moving I refuse to let this darkness, cath up to me
He refuses to let his past struggles define him

Dowled up but it was just a distraction
Dressing up was used as a distraction from the problems in the streets

Even the streets never gave us a little time to relax
The streets were always dangerous and never allowed them to relax

Writing my rhymes to a vibe scap in the corner
To cope, he would write music in a quiet spot

Wrapped me like a cake I'm trying to be this super man
He wants to be like Superman and save the world

In the ghetto get this paper take this music
He made money in the ghetto by creating music

To a whole new level trouble found me now
He reached a new level of success but faced more trouble

I found myself in Puerto Rico spy got hot
He went to Puerto Rico where things got heated

I had to roll living with my paps
He had to move in with his father in Puerto Rico

I really don't no missing my lady try not to tell it show
He misses his girlfriend but tries not to dwell on it

Her new man telling her I would probably never blow
Her new man said he would never be successful

Wanted to tell to the flow I know robbin' it stay in the zone
He wanted to tell her that he knew what he was doing and wanted to stay focused

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

I see myself on the rock miens bonitas
He sees himself enjoying the Puerto Rican scenery

Everywhere I wanna ride
He wants to explore every place in Puerto Rico

All you gotta do is listen
Listen carefully to the lyrics

Banno yellow telia mama(yeah, yeah, yeah)
He uses Spanish to describe a woman he likes

Seie tiel mama bata
He continues to sing about the woman in Spanish

Bitu weil teia sicla
More words in Spanish about the woman

Como elese wella
A phrase in Spanish to compliment the woman

Si pak pak wella
Another Spanish phrase to affirm her good qualities

I never thought I would see the day
He never expected to be successful

That I will be getting money making music
He is making money by creating music

So these hatters wouldn't take nothing off me
He doesn't want the haters to take away his hard-earned success

When the chicks wouldn't holla I just
When women ignored him, he didn't let it bother him

Play them back all I had was a flow and a ball
He got revenge by using his talent for music

Cap, watch right across the room
He shows off his success with expensive clothing and accessories

Thinking they will be dancing to me soon so
He knows his music will soon be popular and played at parties

I'm in the game selling the streets though rapped
He is successful selling his albums even in tough neighborhoods

So hard that I'm in Puerto Rico Puerto Rico
He worked so hard that he was able to travel to Puerto Rico

All you gotta do is listen
The song's message is important, so listen carefully

She looks fine just whistle at her
He admires a beautiful woman and appreciates her looks

See the cops coming then just miss at her
They should escape before the police catch her

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)
The song is about reggaeton music and the carnival atmosphere it brings
