These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Sigue inclinándose la balanza
The balance keeps tipping
Voy a contarles de mi historia y mi enseñanza
I'm going to tell you about my story and my lesson
Yo empecé de mero abajo
I started from way down at the bottom
Y poco a poco fui creciendo con trabajo y no señor
And little by little I grew with work, and no sir
No me avergüenzo
I'm not ashamed
Que la calle me ha enseñado números y movimientos
Because the street has taught me numbers and movements
¿Pa' qué la escuela?
Why school?
Si basta y sobra cuando el hambre ha sido tu maestra
It's more than enough when hunger has been your teacher
Le aprendí a la pobreza
I learned from poverty
Que si hay palabra en esta vida, te sobra la riqueza
That if there is a word in this life, wealth is abundant
Acomedido pa' los mandados
Helpful with errands
Ese pesito que me daban lo fui ahorrando
That little money they gave me I saved up
Pa' comprar la bicicleta
To buy a bicycle
Y unos Jordan porque no aguanté lo duro de las piedras
And some Jordans because I couldn't handle the hardness of the streets
Hoy nomás me río
Today I just laugh
Arriba de un caballo, a veces de un carrito deportivo
On top of a horse, sometimes a sports car
Ya no iré a pato
I won't go broke anymore
Gracias a Dios, por no tener un peso, ahora no me espanto
Thank God, for not having a peso, now I don't get scared
Porque no tuve y ahora que tengo
Because I didn't have, and now that I do
Me he dado cuenta que la mera verga fui y la sigo siendo
I realize that I was badass and I still am
