You need to season your chicken
We ain't like dumb folks in here
Sometimes you fight with the Bible
Sometime it's carrying shells
This family kicking up bells
I celebrate 'cause I'm well
I thank the Lord 'cause it's sunny
And I wish enemies well
I love that soul food adobo
A little mixed with sancocho
That mashed up plantain mofongo
That arroz chicken and [Bm]pollo
I pour libations in soil
It's three leches and [Bm]Goya
It's the leftovers in Tupperware
And the plates left in foil
That cuchifrito [C7]papito
That styrofoam with the juice
I pass that Leo 150
That cha cha Timbaland [Bm]boot
I'm in the Bronx with the mamis
That's wearing Chanel, Versace
They carry bags Tamagotchi
And everybody a chapi
That salsa music be [Am]blastin'
That Orchard Beach with the nutty
Barcadi mixed with the ɾum
That barbecue come with Henny
And City Island [Bm]for [Dm7]seafood
You crack a 'Wood in the whip
You grab a piña colada
You take a number and [Bm]sit
You hit the park in the summer
That public pool in July
You bring your lock and [Bm]your towel
And Vaseline if you [A7fight
I came with my [A]family
My cousins, uncles and [Bm]aunts
The sun had set 'cross the sun
We made it back to [C7]the block
That colored syrup that's ɾed
That sugar cane and [Bm]that ice
That fake and [Bm]sugary blue
The taste of liquid that's nice
That gold chain necklace and [Bm]hoop
That messy bun with the swoop
That baby hair on [C7]ya shorty
The prettiest girl in school
That Café Bustelo
With milk and [Bm]sugar to [C7]mellow
Know some Caribbean fellows
That get you [A7pregnant by hello
That baby shower, that party
The quinceañera get started
The titis got [Fm7]you, don't worry
So don't you [A7leave in a hurry
I love that soul food adobo
A little mixed with sancocho
That mashed up plantain mofongo
That arroz chicken and [Bm]pollo
I pour libations in soil
It's three leches and [Bm]Goya
It's the leftovers in Tupperware
And the plates left in foil
