En mi mente cargo siempre la abundancia

De todo lo que imaginé

Of everything I imagined

Yo nunca he sido un pasado de lanza

I've never been a pushover

Mis padres me criaron bien

My parents raised me well

Valores que hacen peso en la balanza

Values that weigh on the scale

Ya me dan frutos que ya coseché

They already give me fruits that I already harvested

Gracias a eso y buenas enseñanzas

Thanks to that and good teachings

Al paso de la vida aquí me ven

Here you see me as life goes by

Saben que no necesito presentarme

They know I don't need to introduce myself

Pues soy de un pueblito pequeño

Because I'm from a small town

Que el que la hace se fuman compadre

That whoever messes up gets smoked, buddy

Mejor no la juegue y aléjese

Better not play it and stay away

No digo que yo vengo de las calles

I'm not saying I come from the streets

Pero de ahí no me quería mover

But I didn't want to move from there

Y hay amistades que están al tirante

And there are friends who are on standby

Pa que la piensen antes de joder

So they think twice before messing around

Antes de joder

Before messing around

Pura lumbre, compa Jasiel

Pure fire, Jasiel

En la bolsa cargo siempre hierba y pacas

In my bag I always carry weed and stacks

Y una glock lista para proteger

And a glock ready to protect

Mi baby se la sabe y no da lata

My baby knows and doesn't bother

Se hace querer y también complacer

She knows how to be loved and also to please

Dos tres la juegan, pero no me alcanzan

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

No se si algo adentro les duele

I don't know if something inside hurts them

Se ve su envidia desde la distancia

Their envy is seen from a distance

Disfruto las ganancias del ayer

I enjoy yesterday's earnings

Tranquilo vacilo, me la paso chilo

Calmly chilling, I'm having a good time

Miro bien por dónde yo camino

I look carefully where I walk

Les gusta mi estilo y quieren acabar conmigo

They like my style and want to finish me off

Brillo y brillo y no lo ven

I shine and shine and they don't see it

No digo que yo vengo de las calles

I'm not saying I come from the streets

Pero de ahí no me quería mover

But I didn't want to move from there

Y hay amistades que están al tirante

And there are friends who are on standby

Pa que la piensen antes de joder

So they think twice before messing around

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.
