Nadie sabe estos últimos años como me he sentido

Aun andariegos mis recuerdos siguen vivos

No he podido olvidar aquella escena

En aquella tarde la que ví a mi padre
On that afternoon when I saw my father
Baleado, ahogado con su propia sangre
Shot, drowned in his own blood
Sin poderse levantarse
Without being able to get up
Tú ni te imaginas lo que es perder a un padre
You can't even imagine what it's like to lose a father.
Ni con tanto papel podría yo explicarte

Hacer amigos en la calle
Make friends on the street
En la esquina refugiarme
Take refuge in the corner
De masacres escaparme

Hice yo amistades
I made friends
En nadie confiarme

Sin la ayuda de mi padre caí
Without my father's help I fell
Y levantarme llegar a ser cantante
And get up and become a singer
Tengo mucho expresarme poco socializarme
I have a lot of expressing myself, little socializing
Y en palitroquearme y luego olvidarme

Por mí gracias a mi madre velar que no me maten

Si volviera a nacer
If I were born again
Yo dejaría a atrás
I would leave behind
Todo lo malo

Díganme como borrar

Como reír por no llorar

Yo era un niño muy rebelde y problemático

Empezaron los problemas en casa
Problems started at home
De la escuela me escapaba
I ran away from school
Solo andaba
I was just walking
No tenías amigos porque los odiaba
You didn't have friends because you hated them.
Mi confianza una pistola cargada
My trust a loaded gun
Escondia de mi mai
I hid from my mai
En la cintura cargaba
At his waist he carried
Me desahogaba escuchando a los negros como rapiaban
I let off steam listening to the blacks how they looted
Con mis audífonos puestos en mi barriada campeaba
With my headphones on in my neighborhood I was roaming
Y el bum-bum-bam del bajo a los pasos que daba
And the boom-bum-bam of the bass to the steps he took
Y me miraban, como jode que me odiaban
And they looked at me, how damn they hated me
Unos me daban por loco, otros de mi se burlaban
Some thought I was crazy, others made fun of me.
Al Escambron me tiraba
He threw me into Escambron
En bicicleta solo andaba
I only rode a bicycle
En el puente Dos Hermanos al agua yo me zumbaba
On the Dos Hermanos bridge into the water I was buzzing
Del tiempo yo me olvidaba

Llegaba de madrugaba
I arrived early
Mi mami bien preocupada
My mom is very worried
A su sermón le pichaba
He was pissed at her sermon
En el cuarto me encerraba
I locked myself in the room
Sin importar que llorara
No matter how much I cried
Mientras escribo esta letra
As I write this letter
Ahora yo me doy cuenta
Now I realize
Que a ella yo le fallaba, que a ella yo le fallaba
That I failed her, that I failed her
No es fácil vivir la vida que he vivido
It's not easy to live the life I've lived
Mientras escribo rimas, el coro lo hacen los tiros
While I write rhymes, the chorus is made by shots
Pero rimando sigo, si este es mi destino
But I continue rhyming, if this is my destiny
Y por Will Frank te lo juro que pa esto yo he nacido
And by Will Frank I swear to you that this is what I was born for
Yo se que es duro los que viven entre disparos
I know that it is hard for those who live between shots
En vela toda la noche, fumeteando y siempre armado
Up all night, smoking and always armed
La muerte es promesa y yo y los míos lo esperamos
Death is a promise and I and mine wait for it
Y pa los que desean mi muerte besos y abrazos yo les mando
And for those who wish for my death, I send kisses and hugs
Día tras día noche tras noche escribo canciones
Day after day night after night I write songs
Para algún cambiar letras por millones
For some to exchange letters for millions
Gastarlo con lo míos y pal carajo los lambones
Spend it with mine and damn the lambones
Pa los que en mi creyeron de mi parte bendiciones
For those who believed in me, blessings from me
Durante el día los guardias fantasmean
During the day the guards ghost
Estos frontean con las nos voltean
These border with the ones that turn us around
Pero cuando es la hora de los erres y akas suenan
But when it's time for the R's and aka's to ring
He visto como se ariscan y sus patrullas vuelan
I have seen how they stand up and their patrols fly
Me arrodillo en la noche y pregunto cuando es mi hora
I kneel in the night and ask when is my time
Aun no han contestado por eso cargo pistola
They still haven't answered that's why I'm carrying a gun.
Cargo pistola porque nos matamos
I carry a gun because we kill each other
Por billetes que llevan escritos que ellos confiamos
For bills that have writing that they trust
El dinero en mi mente, y en mi mente en el dinero
Money in my mind, and in my mind in money
¿Por que dejar lo que uno es por el dinero?
Why leave what you are for money?
¿Por que tantos amigos cuando tu tienes dinero?
Why so many friends when you have money?
¿Y por que tantos enemigos cuando vas en busca del dinero?
And why so many enemies when you go in search of money?
Lo malo le gano a lo bueno
The bad beats the good
Y aun yo sigo sentado en las escaleras en la casa de mis abuelos
And I'm still sitting on the stairs at my grandparents' house.
Viendo a los niños jugar
Watching the children play
Otros como se matan
Others how they kill themselves
En la barriada Las Monjas donde sale este rapero
In the Las Monjas neighborhood where this rapper comes out
