Spanish Rap



extrano mi gente,
mis lagrimas como un fuente.
extrano mi estado,
la presencia de mi barrio a mi lado.
extrano los culpables y los inocentes,
extrano mi gente
el coqui me llama
el deseo quemando como llamas
en mi alma siento mi isla
no soy la misma
extrano lo que no entiendo
veo mi gente en mis suenos
siento el sol en mi piel
a mi sangre yo soy fiel
mi bandera me cubre como mi ropa
vengo con mi pasion en tropa

Love Letter



Your voice plays over and over in my brain
I’ll make a song out of your name
Art is created from the beauty in your face
I hold you close to my heart; no one can take your place
I’ll take the colors in your eyes
To brighten up the sky
I’ll take the flush in your face
To fill the earth with your grace
I’ll use your hair to hold my world together
You’re strength to make my burden as light as a feather
I’ll use your curls to pull each other close
The strands as strings to a violin to compose
Compose a piece no ear has ever perceived
But to the deepest pain, it’ll relieve
I’ll take the juice in your lips because my depth thirsts
It’ll cleanse me from this lonely curse
Because loving you could never move to worse
But only to something much more better
And this is why I’m writing you this love letter
I’ll take the flavor in your mouth to make a tune
And I’ll dance to it the whole afternoon
I’ll take the rhythm to create a culture that will last and unite
I’ll take the fury in your core to ignite
Something that can reach to whole different height
And with your justice I’ll make everything right
I’ll take the length of your body to stand tall
And by your beauty they’d all be enthralled
I’ll take the contour of your beast to nature a better world
Borrow your inner peace to have my love unfurl
I’ll take the sweetness of your chest
To give life to my zest
I’ll hold your hands and let it mold
Creating all things in gold
Your lashes to produce an elegance of truth
That will be carried throughout your youth
And never to be erased when you are of age
Because with your knowledge you nourish a person of sage
I write this love letter with the hands that want to pull you near
The heart that loves you dear
The lips that are intrigued by your taste
And the eyes that is lost in your face
So let me take you and craft something remotely new
Because I can create wonders with you

Fighting For Love







They run with massive shields protecting their hearts,
Thinking of all people, I will tear it apart
I am a strong lover, I never only give bits
I fight until the end, I never call quits

They run with shielded hearts,
Thinking that I will rip them apart
My heart is exposed, vulnerable to harm
I only show gratitude and charm

They cover their lips, and mute their affection,
Not knowing they run in the wrong direction
I welcome them in my steadfast arms
Promises to forever keep them from harm

They abandon all love and slaughter care
Drowned with confusion and fear
I hold out my arms but they deny the invite
I stand firm on my love and don’t give up the fight

A Poem from Samanta Halabi (habibi)

You helped me laugh, you dried my tears
because of you, I have no fears
together we live, together we grow
teaching each other what we must know
you came in my life, and I was blessed
I love you girl, you are the best
take my hand, don't say good-bye
please my friend don't you cry
I promise you this, it's not the end
cause like I said you're my best friend
We laugh alot because you're fun
When you smile at me its like the sun
You light up the room when you walk in
I hope we stay friends til death
I'll keep you by my side til my last breath
because you're the kind of friend
with whom my life i'd like to spend

This poem made my day as bright as her smile. :-D
