[Verse 1] My mamá taught me spice My papa taught me pride Two rivers in my name Both sides standing side by side I got the mountain in my blood I got the island in my step When they ask me where I’m from I say it all and never sweat [Pre-Chorus] I don’t split myself in two I’m a little bit of both One heart, two roots That’s the way I go [Chorus] Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican That’s my name, that’s my reason Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican I carry both, I carry both Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican (Carry both) in every season Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican I carry both, I carry both [Verse 2] From the mercado sounds To the shore where the drums run wild Every auntie knows my face Every cousin calls me child Different tongues, same love Same fire in the eyes I don’t have to choose a home When both are in my life [Pre-Chorus] I don’t split myself in two I’m a little bit of both One heart, two roots That’s the way I go [Chorus] Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican That’s my name, that’s my reason Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican I carry both, I carry both Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican (Carry both) in every season Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican I carry both, I carry both [Bridge] Tell them I’m the mix Tell them I’m the gold Volcán in my chest And the sea in my soul No need to divide What was built this way I was born with two proud flags Flying every day [Final Chorus] Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican That’s my name, that’s my reason Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican I carry both, I carry both Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican (Carry both) in every season Half Guatemalan, half Puerto Rican I carry both, I carry both
