Gese on God

Says

It was never the goal, yes the way

They ask me to come back, but I've never left

My crown shines even though it has become hawthorn

There are plenty of talent and balls, do not look for another bambino, ah

Born in the south of Madrid, hip hop

Guys with monkeys around here, like in King Kong

I grew up with Estopa and Los Chichos

I taught children in Pan Bendito and with the microphone

I do not betray my origins, nor my roots

They were bars every weekend, crazy like Vincent

I swear to you by the virgin, I'm not going to give up

In this from 15, more laps than a grinder

Selling my compadres, watching my mother cry

Betraying my flesh is blood of my blood

Multinationals, photos, fans, shows and festivals

What the fuck are they worth when I die and it's all over?

Out there they are waiting for what tab I move

What I fuck, if I get high, if I make money

They get angry if I repeat myself and bark when I try

And today I bought a new cord

I have love for my haters and for my fans

I have the 10 on my back, Juan Roman

Trajectory, a lot of mud in the Vans

And the past stained as the face of A$AP Yams

That shit doesn't concern me, it doesn't hurt me

Some hate me like Kanye, in Spain

A crocodile in this river, surrounded by piranhas (Brr)

The same brands that throw me, call pa campaigns

I have lost manager, lawyer (ah)

Today the delivery man returned with another gift

I want to work for my unemployed children

And a street with my name in El Palo

One, two, three

One is love, two is fam, three my dream team

Continue with the four, five, six

Four for cash, five hoes, six for bling, bling

Siete mis estrellas, Madrid

Eight in the south, through Malaga and Cadiz

99 problems, Jay-Z

More than ten struggling to be here

Five years ago I was unwell in the neighborhood and without faith

Four years ago in Barna only hungrier than Dre

Three tirao ago in Madrid with a thousand euros that I saved

And there was no hot water, don't you remember anymore or what?

I was without chito, selling parakeet to your favorite trapper

I was already opening in chungas and dens

This is about being humble and dying rich

I've already done it and it's simple, I complicate it for you

Five years ago I changed my name

Four years ago to look for work for London

Three years ago it was fighting for the envelope

That's why I value gold the same as silver and that I charge

Be for my people, with faith

That they were always and always

It's not for pasta anymore, today I want the cake

And a street with my name in my neighborhood, Carabanchel

One, two, three

One is love, two is fam, three my dream team

Continue with the four, five, six

Four for cash, five hoes, six for bling, bling

Siete mis estrellas, Madrid

Eight in the south, through Malaga and Cadiz

99 problems, Jay-Z

More than ten struggling to be here

Ah, Recycled J, J

Eh, yeh, my brother, Delaossa

Gese Da O

Kiddo

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Zero Negative

From Carabanchel to the whole world

Space Hammurabi, crazy

One, two, three

One is love, two is fam, three my dream team

Continue with the four, five, six

Four for cash, five hoes, six for bling, bling

Siete mis estrellas, Madrid

Eight in the south, through Malaga and Cadiz

99 problems, Jay-Z

More than ten struggling to be here

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Recycled J and DELAOSSA's "Raíces" is all about staying true to where you come from, no matter how famous you get. Recycled J kicks it off by saying, "Nunca fue la meta, sí el camino" [The destination was never the goal, the journey was], which really sets the tone. He's proud of his South Madrid hip hop roots, growing up with bands like Estopa and Los Chichos, and even teaching kids in his old neighborhood.

He makes it clear he's not forgetting his origins, rapping, "No traiciono mis orígenes, ni mis raíces" [I don't betray my origins, nor my roots]. The song is a journey through his past struggles, from being broke to making it big, and he questions what all the fame and money are worth "cuando me muera y todo se acabe" [when I die and it all ends]. It's a powerful message about loyalty to his friends and family, and a desire to give back to his community, even dreaming of "una calle con mi nombre en El Palo" [a street with my name in El Palo] and "en mi barrio, Carabanchel" [in my neighborhood, Carabanchel].
