Ya son las 9 de la noche, cayó el telón
Yo en prisión pero mi mente en el callejón
Pensando en mi corillo y en su enterno vacilón
Me encuentro solo y triste y sufre mi corazón
Ay Dios mío

Una colilla de cigarro más (solo en mi celda, meditando)
Un cenicero que va a reventar (ya no puedo más, no puedo más)
La misma historia triste y sin final
El mismo cuento de nunca acabar
Y la carcajada de otra madrugada
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Se burlan cuatro paredes, rutina, puerta cerrada
Y un carnaval de barrotes bailando sobre mi cama
Extraño aquella cometa que yo de niño volaba
Y a mis amigos del barrio, que mis canciones bailaban

Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar
Y a mis amigos buenos visitar
Pidiendo otra oportunidad
Bajo el farol del pueblo conversar
Y en una fiesta linda celebrar
Mi libertad

Ya no puedo con la condena que lucho día a día
Mi juventud se escurre en un celda fría
Mi alma penitencia, mi vida en agonía
Y es muy poca la esperanza de salir todavía

Extraño aquella cometa que yo de niño volaba
Y a mis amigos del barrio, que mis canciones bailaban

Una lágrima que moja el papel de mi triste carta
Comentarle a mi familia lo mucho que me hacen falta
A pesar de todo sigo con mi frente alta
Soy un simple ser humano que en la sociedad descarta

Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar
Y a mis amigos buenos visitar
Pidiendo otra oportunidad
Bajo el farol del pueblo conversar
Y en una fiesta linda celebrar
Mi libertad

Óyeme Jerry (ajá)
Yo te digo la verdad, no es lo que cuesta (¿y qué?)
Sino cuánto vale la libertad


Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar
Y a mis amigos buenos visitar
La misma historia triste y sin final
El mismo cuento que de nunca acabar

Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar
Y celebrar mi libertad
Salir y vacilar, por el barrio caminar
Y con mi gente disfrutar mi libertad

Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar
Y a mis amigos buenos visitar
Un carnaval de barrotes
Bailando sobre mi cama

Jerry Rivera y Voltio
Homenaje a Frankie Ruiz
El Tártaro, el loquito

Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar
Y a mis amigos buenos visitar
Y extraño aquella cometa
Que yo, yo, yo, de niño volaba

Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar (quiero cantar, quiero rapear)
Y celebrar mi libertad (vacilar)
A mis amigos buenos saludar
Que mis canciones bailaban

Y recordando al papá de la salsa
¿Okey?
Prr, pa' ti
Baby, seguro

Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar
Y a mis amigos buenos visitar
Bajo el farol del pueblo conversar, mira
Y en una fiesta celebrar

Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar
Y celebrar mi libertad
Ahora me ha llegado el momento, Jerry
Y tengo otra oportunidad

Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar
Y a mis amigos buenos visitar
Quiero cantar de nuevo y caminar
Y compartir mi libertad

Esta es pa' Frankie, pa' que la goce allá en el cielo
Gracias, Jerry
Gracias a ti, Julio Voltio, Julito Maraña
Y positivo, ¿okey?

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
