Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Carrito by Calle 24 from Spanish to English.
Apoyo de los grandes nunca me faltó
Support from the big shots never failed me
Y gracias a eso estoy donde ahora estoy
And thanks to that I'm where I'm at now
Crucé coca y mota, y no fue por error
I crossed coke and weed, and it wasn't by mistake
Me hice de billetes, la ambición ganó
I stacked up cash, ambition won
Me brinqué la barda y nadie me vio
I jumped the fence and nobody saw me
No sé si fue suerte o Dios me ayudó
I don't know if it was luck or God helped me
Le juré a la vida y al que me humilló
I swore to life and to the one that humiliated me
Que saldría de pobre y el sol me salió
that I'd get out of poverty and the sun came out for me
Con mi primer sueldo, me compré un carrito
With my first paycheck, I bought myself a little car
Y mandé un dinero para mi ranchito
And I sent some money to my little ranch
Mis jefes contentos por mirar a su hijo
My folks happy to see their son
Que iba progresando pasito a pasito
that was moving forward little by little
Nunca me juzgaron por no ir derechito
They never judged me for not going straight
Más bien, al contrario, me apoyaron un chingo
Instead, on the contrary, they backed me up a sh*tload
Siempre mi delirio fueron las mujeres
Women were always my delirium
Y ahora hay de dos, tres que me cumplen mis placeres
And now there are two, three that satisfy my pleasures
Si prendo un gallito, no es pa' que se alteren
If I light a joint, it's not so that you get upset
Es que el humito me recuerda a los ayeres
It's just that the little smoke reminds me of the yesterdays
Muchas canas verdes le saqué al viejón
I made the old man grow a lot of gray hairs
Cuando llegaba con los ojos rojos al cantón
When I got home with red eyes
Madrecita hermosa, le pido perdón
Beautiful mama, I ask you for forgiveness
Sabe que la adoro aunque fui cabrón
She knows that I adore her even though I was a b*stard
Hago lo que quiero y si pierdo, nunca me agüito
I do what I want and if I lose, I never get bummed
Ya no pienso en miles y ahora pienso en milloncitos
I no longer think in thousands and now I think in little millions
Si antes era un carro, se convirtieron en cinco
If before it was one car, it turned into five
Todo me ha cambiado, le agradezco a mi Diosito
Everything has changed for me, I thank my dear God
Como se los dije, subiendo paso a pasito
Like I told you, climbing step by step
El cash no me cambia, sigo siendo el mismo tipo
Cash doesn't change me, I'm still the same guy
Siempre mi delirio fueron las mujeres
Women were always my delirium
Y ahora hay de dos, tres que me cumplen mis placeres
And now there are two, three that satisfy my pleasures
Si prendo un gallito, no es pa' que se alteren
If I light a joint, it's not so that you get upset
Es que el humito me recuerda a los ayeres
It's just that the little smoke reminds me of the yesterdays
