La M4 Lyrics in English Natanael Cano , Junior H

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La M4 by Natanael Cano from Spanish to English.
A can of paint rolls with my moves
I was tagging through L.A. in the South Central streets
Memories of a kid, so young but packed with talent
My torn clothes, I know it, that's already in the memories
And even though I saw that it was tough, I don't regret it
Thanks to my parents for letting me forge slowly
Life changed me and the dude didn't wait for it
I traded my can of Sprite for an M4
They'll see me around L.A., strolling at ease
And I reach Europe, I burn a good joint
It was hard, but life forged me as it went
A lady that backs me up and always watches over my actions
Yeah, blessings to my two roosters that went with my brothers
Valenzuela's my surname, better just a few details
And even though I saw that it was tough, I don't regret it
Thanks to my parents for letting me forge slowly
Life changed me and now we're at ease
Earning cash, rolling in camouflage we go
Cruising for a while in my truck we roll and an M4's never missing by my side

SONG MEANING

La M4 throws us straight into Natanael Cano’s personal movie, set among the alleys and freeways of Los Angeles. He starts as a teen with nothing but a spray-paint can, tagging walls and dreaming big while wearing hand-me-down clothes. That humble graffiti can becomes a symbol of raw talent and creativity. Yet the street life, sacrifices, and slow-burn hustle eventually trade that can of paint (and even a soda can) for an M4—a powerful metaphor for the firepower, protection, and respect he now carries.

The song is a victory lap. Cano and Junior H cruise through L.A. and even Europe, puffing on joints, counting stacks of cash, and riding in camouflaged trucks. But under the swagger lies gratitude: shout-outs to supportive parents, loyal friends (his “gallos”), and a steadfast partner who has his back. “La M4” is, at heart, a gritty success story about turning street art into street power, never forgetting the struggle, and celebrating the ride from spray paint to high-caliber fame.
