Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Tío Lako (En Vivo) by Los Alegres Del Barranco from Spanish to English.
Nació pobre y no es delito
He was born poor and it's not a crime
El compa Lako lo dijo
Compa Lako said it
Que le tocó batallar

Así han nacido los grandes

La necesidad y el hambre
Necessity and hunger
Te hacen salirle a buscar
Make you go out and search
Aquel tiempo ya es historia
That time is already history
El que no arriesga no logra
Those who don't take risks don't achieve
Salir del hoyo en que está
To get out of the hole they're in
Para poder tener billetes
In order to have money
Hay que ser inteligente
You have to be intelligent
Y saber bien trabajar

El dinero es buen amigo

Un año duro no más

Por si la traición se asoma
In case betrayal shows up
Eso el señor no perdona

50 armados no más

Son los que cuidan mi espalda

Con pecheras y armas largas
