Escalando niveles, rangos

Todo un proceso de el fango a lo más alto
A whole process from the bottom to the top
Como sniper volando sesos de su blanco
Like a sniper blowing brains out of his target
Con un microphone que es más certero que un chaso
With a microphone that is more accurate than a joke
Desde el barrio, la empírica escuela
From the neighborhood, the empirical school
Carteles exportan lírica mela
Posters export mela lyrics
En su propia serie ellos vuelan
In their own series they fly
Le entran sueños y anhelos que desvelan
Dreams and desires enter him that reveal
Soldados que en el arte militan

Su arma estandarte es esta la música bendita
Your standard weapon is this blessed music
Caen fronteras invisibles que limitan
Invisible borders that limit fall
En esta era la esperanza que estaba muerta resucita
In this age the hope that was dead is resurrected
Y depende donde quieras apuntar
And it depends where you want to aim
La forma y la manera de avanzar y consagrar
The way and the way to advance and consecrate
Vidas como el gato no tendrás
You won't have lives like a cat
Las estrellas saben que nosotros somos los fugaz, paz
The stars know that we are the fleeting ones, peace
Se armó el party en la esquina del movimiento
The party was formed in the corner of the movement
Un chorro arriba por las almas, cae al pavimento
A stream up through the souls, falls to the pavement
Birra, trancha y hip-hop music
Beer, trancha and hip-hop music
Straight from the street, so, Cruces
Straight from the street, so, Cruces
From the barrio
From the neighborhood
From the ghetto, yeah

Uoh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Uoh-oh-oh-oh-oh
De ahí vengo yo, oy
That's where I come from, hey

Desenfundo el micro como un cowboy
I take out the microphone like a cowboy
En infinidad de duelos y aquí estoy

Por estos bloques soy lo que soy
Because of these blocks I am what I am
No olvido de donde vengo y sé pa' donde voy
I don't forget where I come from and I know where I'm going
Un aroma de comuna prevalece
A commune aroma prevails
La inspiración es luz cuando más oscurece
Inspiration is light when it gets darkest
La citadina musa resplandece
The city muse shines
En memoria del caído o el que desaparece
In memory of the fallen or the one who disappears
Perdido en rincones, algunas zonas rojas
Lost in corners, some red areas
Talones de Aquiles y sueños que se alojan
Achilles heels and dreams that stay
Pesadillas que huyen entre risas y congojas
Nightmares that flee between laughter and sorrow
Se pisa a veces por la cuerda floja
Sometimes you walk a tightrope
Aflojan las ideas como bases matemáticas
They loosen ideas as mathematical bases
Fueron fantasías, se veían algo lunáticas
They were fantasies, they looked a little crazy
Con fuerza vencería, pero más pesa la táctica
With strength I would win, but tactics weigh more
Difícil solo lenguaje sin práctica
Difficult just language without practice
Que nada nos detenga ni en las cumbres borrascosas
Let nothing stop us even on the stormy heights
Espinas sobreviven y se marchitan las rosas
Thorns survive and roses wither
Pardos son los gatos, viven noches caprichosas
Brown are the cats, they live capricious nights
Murallas en penumbras misteriosas
Walls in mysterious darkness
Se arma el party en la esquina del movimiento
The party is set up in the corner of the movement
Por los que se fueron elevo un brindis al viento
For those who left I raise a toast to the wind
Humos, chorros, hip-hop music
Smoke, jets, hip-hop music
Straight from the calles, Cruces
Straight from the streets, Cruces
