[English]

In my mind I always carry abundance

Of everything I imagined

I've never been a pushover

My parents raised me well

Values that weigh on the scale

They already give me fruits that I already harvested

Thanks to that and good teachings

Here you see me as life goes by

They know I don't need to introduce myself

Because I'm from a small town

That whoever messes up gets smoked, buddy

Better not play it and stay away

I'm not saying I come from the streets

But I didn't want to move from there

And there are friends who are on standby

So they think twice before messing around

Before messing around

Pure fire, Jasiel

In my bag I always carry weed and stacks

And a glock ready to protect

My baby knows and doesn't bother

She knows how to be loved and also to please

Two three play it, but they can't reach me

I don't know if something inside hurts them

Their envy is seen from a distance

I enjoy yesterday's earnings

Calmly chilling, I'm having a good time

I look carefully where I walk

They like my style and want to finish me off

I shine and shine and they don't see it

I'm not saying I come from the streets

But I didn't want to move from there

And there are friends who are on standby

So they think twice before messing around

Before messing around

...

[Spanish]

En mi mente cargo siempre la abundancia

De todo lo que imaginé

Yo nunca he sido un pasado de lanza

Mis padres me criaron bien

Valores que hacen peso en la balanza

Ya me dan frutos que ya coseché

Gracias a eso y buenas enseñanzas

Al paso de la vida aquí me ven

Saben que no necesito presentarme

Pues soy de un pueblito pequeño

Que el que la hace se fuman compadre

Mejor no la juegue y aléjese

No digo que yo vengo de las calles

Pero de ahí no me quería mover

Y hay amistades que están al tirante

Pa que la piensen antes de joder

Antes de joder

Pura lumbre, compa Jasiel

En la bolsa cargo siempre hierba y pacas

Y una glock lista para proteger

Mi baby se la sabe y no da lata

Se hace querer y también complacer

Dos tres la juegan, pero no me alcanzan

No se si algo adentro les duele

Se ve su envidia desde la distancia

Disfruto las ganancias del ayer

Tranquilo vacilo, me la paso chilo

Miro bien por dónde yo camino

Les gusta mi estilo y quieren acabar conmigo

Brillo y brillo y no lo ven

No digo que yo vengo de las calles

Pero de ahí no me quería mover

Y hay amistades que están al tirante

Pa que la piensen antes de joder

Antes de joder

Key Grammar Structures

• En mi mente cargo siempre la abundancia De todo lo que imaginé

  ➔ Preterite Perfect/Past Perfect Subjunctive (imaginé)

  ➔ The use of the Past Perfect Subjunctive indicates a hypothetical or imagined action in the past. "imaginé" means 'that I had imagined'. It emphasizes a past action that preceded another past action or state.

• Yo nunca he sido un pasado de lanza

  ➔ Present Perfect (he sido)

  ➔ The Present Perfect "he sido" (I have been) expresses an action that started in the past and continues to have relevance in the present.

• Valores que hacen peso en la balanza Ya me dan frutos que ya coseché

  ➔ Preterite (coseché)

  ➔ The use of the simple past tense "coseché" (I harvested) shows a completed action in the past.

• Que el que la hace se fuman compadre

  ➔ Reflexive construction with 'se'

  ➔ The construction "se fuman" is an impersonal reflexive construction. Here, "se" indicates that the subject is indefinite or unspecified. It implies that those who misbehave will face the consequences (are "smoked"/dealt with). It avoids explicitly stating who performs the action.

• Pa que la piensen antes de joder

  ➔ Subjunctive after 'para que'

  ➔ The use of "piensen" in the subjunctive mood after "para que" (so that) expresses a purpose or intention. It indicates what is desired to happen, not a fact.
