Carne Asada Dreams

Intro

Yeah

LD

Taco truck parked outside

Smell that?

That’s happiness

Go

Verse 1

Pulled up late night, dollar in my pocket

Lady at the stand said “boy, stop playing”

Facts

Carne asada fresh off the grill

Smoke in the air like the block celebrating

Look

Al pastor spinning on the trompo

Pineapple shining like a trophy on top

Legendary

I pointed like “yeah, that one”

She nodded like she already knew my soul

Verse 2

Cilantro, onion, squeeze two limes

Salsa verde if I’m feeling responsible

Maybe

Salsa roja if I wanna test faith

Take one bite, now I’m speaking in poetry

Crazy

Birria on the side with the dip

Consommé got me questioning my purpose

Deep

How a tortilla hold this much joy

And still cost less than parking downtown

Hook

Carne asada, al pastor

Three on the plate, maybe I need four

Late night runs, corner store

Taco truck love, yeah that’s what I’m for

Carne asada, al pastor

Life gets rough, I just order more

Hot sauce tears, I ignore

Taco truck love, yeah that’s what I’m for

Verse 3

Carnitas crispy, barbacoa heavy

Chorizo got the whole room smelling reckless

Danger

Pollo trying hard, I respect it

But tonight I need something with bad decisions

Honestly

Lengua came through and surprised me

Tripa like gambling with your appetite

Risky

But every real one got that one friend

Who swears cabeza changed his whole life

Verse 4

First date at the taco stand, perfect

No fake vibes, just grease on our fingers

Romance

She asked what I do, I said “rap sometimes”

But right now I’m focused on these tortillas

Truth

She laughed, took my horchata

I knew right there that it might be forever

Love

Or maybe just until the check came

Either way, still worth the tacos

Hook

Carne asada, al pastor

Three on the plate, maybe I need four

Late night runs, corner store

Taco truck love, yeah that’s what I’m for

Carne asada, al pastor

Life gets rough, I just order more

Hot sauce tears, I ignore

Taco truck love, yeah that’s

Verse 5

Midnight creeping, still I’m outside

Plastic chair dining with the real philosophers

Facts

Old dude next to me said love is temporary

But a good pastor taco lives forever

Wise man

Radio playing from the kitchen window

Smoke rising up like a prayer in the summer

Sacred

Took one bite, looked at the sky

And thanked whoever invented salsa verde

Verse 6

Got leftovers wrapped up in foil

Fridge looking like a promise I might keep tomorrow

Maybe

But I know me, I’ll be back at midnight

Same corner, same lady, same “you again?” energy

Yep

Carne asada still got that char on it

Al pastor still spinning like it owns time

No rush

Life messy but the tacos stay consistent

That’s more loyalty than most of my

Outro

Some people chase fame

Some people chase money

Me?

I’m chasing the taco truck before it closes

Priorities

Extra green sauce

Please

Yeah I tried to overthink it once

Didn’t help

Still ended up at the taco stand

Holding a receipt like it’s wisdom

Carne asada, al pastor

Same answer to different problems

I’ll figure the rest out later

Right now I’m good

Extra salsa roja

That’s it

And don’t forget the Jarrito

I want the lime one cuz it’s my favorite one

Maybe give me a Mexican Coke with that too

I could come here every night
