Palmera lyrics
by Xolo Maridueña
[Intro: Tish Hyman & Xolo Maridueña]
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
The city, yeah, Edge Keys, you know where to find me
[Verse 1: Xolo Maridueña]
Get in, take a ride with me (Skrrt!)
I'm your tour guide, take a drive with me
Squad on deck, got my guys with me
Top down, yelling "Welcome to my city!"
Edge Keys, every side is the best side
Got baddies on the left and the right side
Tattoos are the way we express our pride
That's right, we all living our best life
Everybody ain't a bandit or cutthroat
And, nah, it ain't all about gun smoke
Take a look over there at that beautiful mural, and you can see the passion in every brushstroke
And right there is an incredible cathedral
Made a hundred years ago by my people
Immigrants but they called us illegal
So we built it to do away with evil
Built this town from the ground up
We're the founders, but it seems like they found us
Our proud culture surrounds us
I got Benito in the speakers, so DJ, go turn the sound up
Let's party, got my relatives with me
Down with the boy if I never get a penny
We cherish things money can't buy, so you know I had to write a love letter to the city I'm from
[Chorus: Tish Hyman & Xolo Maridueña]
Whenever I'm alone with you (Can I leave you? Never, ay, this is for Palmera)
You make me feel like I am home again (My city, my city, my city, my city)
Whenever I'm alone with you (Can I leave you? Never, never, can I leave you? Never, this is for Palmera)
You make me feel like I am home again (Can I leave you? Never, never, never, this is for Palmera)
[Verse 2: Xolo Maridueña]
This is for Palmera, yeah, good people, good weather
This town is our treasure, man
You try and take it, you loca in la cabeza, man
My homies got stripes like a barcode
Drop top, low-riders hop at the car show
Everybody give me love, I attract that
I got P-City written on my Kangol
We represent this, we represent, yeah
Goin' up one time for my hometown
I'm feelin' like Moctezuma in a gold crown
Change clothes when the sun's 'bout to go down
My city wearing all black when night falls
Downtown, people dancing on the sidewalks
In the club, till somebody turn the lights off
But they keep on partying, it's the right call
You wanna visit my pretty city?
I can introduce ya
When you meet her, she's sweeter than sangria
Sweeter than senoritas sippin' on margaritas at the cantina
Ay, me and bad vibes don't mix
Ay, lot of people that I roll with
Ay, shouts out to my whole clique
Whenever I'm gone, I get homesick, this is for Palmera
[Chorus: Tish Hyman & Xolo Maridueña]
Whenever I'm alone with you (Can I leave you? Never, this is for Palmera)
You make me feel like I am home again (Me and you together forever, ay, this is for Palmera)
