born on the east side In the barrio badlands Juan cortez walks the streets Hes a proud man He loves a girl With eyes that sparkle like diamonds Troubled world Makes him fight for his woman La raza From the south blows the wind of la raza The legends all told Follow the sun to the great river valley La raza del sol Bold & strong Find a life cross the border It aint easy hassling with law & order In the soul stands the strength of the family Holding on with the spirit and glory La raza From the south blows the wind of la raza The legends all told Follow the sun to the great river valley La raza del sol
