Born In East L.A.

(Cheech:)
 Took a walk to the corner store
 Just to buy a loaf of bread and a box of s'mores
 Up pulled a guy in a yellow van
 Shiny gold badge flashing in his hand
 (Chong:)
 He said, alright all you mojados down here
 I want you all to hit the floor
 I got one thing to ask you and nothing more
 So answer in English, if you can
 Where were ya born, man
 (Cheech:)
 Huh? Where was I born?
 (Chong:)
 That's right, I said
 Where were ya born?
 (Cheech:)
 Hey, are you one of those dudes who do horoscopes, man
 Hey, I'm a Cancer with a bad moon rising
 (Chong:)
 Look here el fago, watch my lips
 Where were ya born?
 (Cheech:)
 I was BORN IN EAST L.A.
 Man, I was BORN IN EAST L.A.
 (Chong:)
 Oh yeah, you were BORN IN EAST L.A.
 Let's see your green card
 (Cheech:)
 Huh? Green card?
 I'm from East LA
 (Chong:)
 Alright, then who's President of the United States
 (Cheech:)
 Oh, that's easy, man
 That guy that used to be on Death Valley Days, John Wayne
 (Chong:)
 Alright, let's go, come on
 (Cheech:)
 Next thing I know, I'm in a foreign land
 People talkin so fast, I couldn't understand
 There was nobody there to lend a helping hand
 I was cold, it was dark where is a burger stand
 I want to go back to East LA
 I wish I was back in East LA
 I don't belong here in downtown T.J.
 Cause I was born in East LA, ole
 I crawled under barbed wire, swam across a stream
 Rode in six different trucks packed like a sardine
 Walked all day in the burning sun
 Now I know what it's like to be born to run
 Up ahead was the promised land
 Shining like a star just beyond my hand
 All I could see was a golden door
 I looked up, a sign said five billion sold
 And I was back in East LA
 Yes, I was back in East LA
 You know I'm never gonna stray
 Cause I was born in East LA, oh LA
 (adlibs with I'm a low rider rocker in East LA, oh LA)
 EAST LA!
