lyrics

Let me tell you a little about myself. I was raised under the Dominican sun sipping on papaya milk shakes. My mama told me we're moving to America to join your sister and your dad. That is how I ended up with my American Dream. That is how I ended up with my American dream. I just want to sing. I just want to sing. I just want to sing. Its my American dream.
I come from a long line of bodegueros, yea you know how that goes. All we ever talk about is food and taxes. My brother took over the family business and my sisters, well they're all set, married with kids and their own white picked fence.
That is how I ended up with my American Dream. That is how I ended up with my American dream. I just want to sing. I just want to sing. I just want to sing. Its my American dream.
Let me tell you a little about myself, I was raised under the Dominican sun.
