We're going to start this with style
I sing the dembow with depth
They say a star, a figure
From Héctor I learned the flavor
Héctor Lavoe was a Puerto Rican salsa singer
I've never seen a jewel so pure
This is so that it stays, what I do lasts
Too many nights of mischief
I live fast and I don't have a cure
I'll go young to the grave
This is so that it stays, what I do lasts
