Oye la cosa esta mala
Hey, things are bad
El clima en plana
The weather in flat
Donde viven mira, muy pocos trabajan
Where they live, look, very few work
A las tantas se levanta
At so many hours he gets up
Todos los días ropa nueva y de marca
Every day new and branded clothes
Tienen mujer, novias, amigas y chillas
They have wives, girlfriends, friends and screams
Los artistas del barrio, ninguno rima
The artists of the neighborhood, none of them rhyme
Violan leyes, pero aquí todos los quieren
They violate laws, but here everyone loves them
Compran guardias, juguetes pa los nenes
They buy guards, toys for the children
Son los que ponen la ley, autoridad y respeto
They are the ones who establish the law, authority and respect
Todas las noche rezo
Every night I pray
Que no se lo lleven preso
Don't let them take him to prison
Lapiz dice que sin estudio no hay futuro
Lapiz says that without study there is no future
Tu ni quiere ser de esos, lo dudo
You don't even want to be one of those, I doubt it
Aunque quisiera decir
Although I would like to say
Si sabe pa que me pregunta
If he knows why is he asking me?
Capitulo uno, la escuela no me gusta
Chapter one, I don't like school
Y en la calle matan na mas
And in the street they kill just
A quien se la busca
Who are you looking for?
Por burro, por bregar con burro
For donkey, for struggling with donkey
Oye de grande quiero ser como
Hey when I grow up I want to be like
Daddy, Coscu, Don
Daddy, Coscu, Don
gatillero de un gangster
gangster triggerman
Me hizo dormir repetir el grado
He made me sleep repeat the grade
Por que yo no dormia
Why wasn't I sleeping?
Caminen en mis zapatos
walk in my shoes
Yo niño que tu querias que hiciera
I was a child that you wanted me to do
Los que más estudian son coyeras
Those who study the most are coyeras
Son burro, profesionales burro
They are donkey, donkey professionals
Lo cojieron
They caught him
Pa ver si cumple y suelta la paella
To see if he complies and releases the paella
Se te apago la luz
Your light went out
No hay retiro
There is no withdrawal
Ni plan de salud
No health plan
Haga su tiempo
do your time
Que burro, te pusiste burro
What a donkey, you became a donkey
Te pusiste burro
you got stupid
