Verse 1
Vivo en un sueño despierto, prendo mi leño
I live in a waking dream, I light my log
Las calles siguen sin dueño y me empeño
The streets are still without an owner and I insist
Por darle duro, vivir y escribir
For giving it hard, living and writing
Sin miedo a morir, total a todos nos llega
Without fear of dying, it reaches us all
Para unos un juego verbal
For some a verbal game
Para otros un juego que quema
For others a game that burns
Chorus 1
Solo son niños jugando a ser grandes
They are just children playing to be great
Solo son niños jugando a ser grandes

Verse 2
Antes de estar en la tele y el radio

Yo era ese vago tatuado

Sentado en la esquina del barrio tomando y quemando
Sitting on the corner of the neighborhood drinking and burning
Soy ese amigo al que tus padres odian

Por como se viste y por como se porta

Yo sé que no importa
I know it doesn't matter
Porque como tú doy la vida por mi flota

Así que, cabrones, mejor cierren la boca
So motherfuckers you better shut your mouth

Mujeres gritando, rompiendo escenarios

Bueno, al chile sí
Well, chili yes
Pero debes entender que este M-C
But you must understand that this M-C
Tiene un pasado

Y en esto está respaldado

Así que es en serio cuando hablo
So it's serious when I speak
