Lyrics
Born on the east side
In the barrio badlands
Juan Cortez walks the streets
He's a proud man
He loves a girl
With eyes that sparkle like diamonds
Troubled world
Makes him fight for his woman
La raza
[Chorus]
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 and strong
Find a life 'cross the border
It ain't easy hassling with law & order
In the soul stands the strength of the family
Holding on with the spirit and glory
La raza
[Chorus]
