Y ahora tu que vas a hacer, que traspase la reja?

Estoy libre, seguro y nada me acompleja

Que tengo lírica que bien acribillao' los deja

So comadreja, oye lo que es un bembe
So weasel, hear what a bembe is
Que unos tienen su tumbao y otros tienen su hache

Pero yo vengo cristo céntrico y verlo a usted
But I come central Christ and see you
Que no se note a la una y se muera a la tres
Don't let it be noticed at one and die at three
Como lo ves ahora vengo con la decisión
As you can see now I come with the decision
De hacerlos presa con mis dientes de tiburón
To make them prey with my shark teeth
Con uña de león acechando como un lobo
With a lion's fingernail lurking like a wolf
Con pan del cielo para los que no son bobos
With sky bread for those who are not fools
Y a los que se conocen como cocorotes
And those known as coconut trees
Que se creen que no hay pistola que los explote

Cuando disparen para donde ti, contigo se guillen

Que los que ladran mucho como el perro
Let those who bark a lot like the dog
Son los que siempre preparan a su propio entierro

Después llaman a su mama como los becerros

Pero quien a hierro mata, muere por el hierro
But whoever kills, dies from iron
Y esa cara, tanto es lo que te sorprende
And that face, so much so that surprises you
Que soy yo quien otra vez a tu nación enciende

Si me tiras con tus letras, tus letras mato
