Hay un Son

Orishas Orishas

There's a Beat

My mama told me the day I couldn't
To consult the witch, the babalawo, or the santera

There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana (x2)

Hey yo! I come from Havana, low-key hustling, taking my time without a clue or anything
I come with my black boleros, rumba dancers, santeros, paleros, with the abakuá
Tell me what’s gonna happen… Don’t cry when I’m gone, I don’t want flowers
Old epitaph: "Here lies the black man who was a lot among many and first among pioneers" Gentleman

There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana
There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear
There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana
There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana

I got a beat full of rhythms and feelings
It gets inside you like my guitar does
Like spring makes flowers on your wings
It’ll set the sails and fill you with desire!

There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana
There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear
There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana
There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana

My music, a black man from the cradle, Orishas culture, Yoruba essence, Carabalí!
My beat "from the street" calls you Havana, my rumba doesn’t stop here
If you want this, don’t hold back your body
And if you keep it slow, smoke this
I don’t want stories or drama, come on, rumba, let’s share the rumba

There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana
There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana

Come on, "bring it here," take a look, "man," and get straight to the point
I’m on point, today I took a break, break it down
If Cuba isn’t like yesterday
Did you see how it walks, it dominates, it rolls, "man," don’t lose the medicine
Your pupils are dilating, it’s time to change the batteries

There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana
There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana
There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana
There's a beat, there's a flow
There's a beat you can hear in Havana
