I Didn't Sleep A Wink Lyrics
Didn't sleep a wink last night, 'Cause you walked out the night before. Just been sittin' here, rottin', hoping you'd come knockin', Knocking at my door. Watched the moon pass by my window, The stars faded out of sight. The sun came into view, an' still I thought of you, An' I didn't sleep a wink last night. Tryin' to remember what I'd done, To make you treat me so. What have I been guilty of? Well, I'd just like to know. Thought if we could talk it over,

Well, did you bring me my money,
My cab fare
My new shoes?
I got expenses, you know
Where's my weekly dues?
SAL
I ain't giving you my fucking money.
HERNANDEZ
Oye, mother fucker, where's this jibaro
from?
You go when I say.
I call, you come.
You know it takes a strong man to survive.
It ain't no accident that you're still
alive.

HERNANDEZ
He still lives with his mami, but he sneaks
down,
A coolie in the shadow of the playground
You want to fight for your people, don't
you, Sal?

Well, yeah, if I got to.

Oh, you got
Chromosome Y Lyrics
Aux mains de l'?tat La force s'appelle droit Aux mains de l'individu Elle se nomme crime Chromosome Y... (2x) Maman, suis-je un tueur? Dans le sang le bonheur Est-ce que tu en as peur?

you something.
This is the cave of The Vampires,
Count Dracula's castle,
The very sight could turn a white man grey.
Made in the shade, use my umbrella
Black like the night we fly in.
That blade is all you need to keep the dogs
away.
So, you want to be a vampire, man! That's
good.
We always looking for young blood in the
neighborhood now
Carlos Apache collects the dues
So you bring us something that we can use

Frenchy Cordero goes down to Hell's Kitchen
To sell the Irish some weed
So this Paddy Boy's mother on the stoop

'Bout spics is a mongrel breed
Now here comes her son
He looks like a ton of corned beef
Floating in beer
He says
'Fucking Puerto Rican dope-dealing punk
Get your shit-brown ass out of here.'

So the shanty-town Irish they kicked his ass

Fractured his collar bone
Coo, all I was thinking is, 'What home of

This a fucking war zone'
