Ode to Washington Heights


In your hills I was born

Broadway terrace you are the... nesting ground
Uptown, uptown is where I'm going on the 1, on the A
Dyckman for the food, the nightlife
Fort tryon for the culture, the nature
Nagle for the beauty, of my hair that is
Back to Broadway, and I ain't talking shows
You have your own landmarks, for those of us who know

It's always been a love affair, not a secret one at that

I will always come back to what I know

What I love

Where I grew up

You change, evolve and at the root of it all stay the same

Just like me.
 
Life is a struggle, a dream in these nitty gritty streets
 
and yet, I am proud of where I'm from
 
-Mar
Dominicana hasta el fin. That is who I am.
