[English]

You have to see what a bad life you're living.

You're a lost cause.

And you won't be able to handle much of this.

You have to move forward and fight every day.

What a bad life you're living.

You're a lost cause.

You won't be able to handle much of this.

You have to move forward and fight every day.

After Kinky, everyone sounds the same.

Now everyone wants to be from the slums.

Turn it up, give me a show of what you're worth.

I mark my territory just like animals.

After Daviles, everyone sounds the same.

Now everyone wants to be from the slums.

Turn it up, give me a show of what you're worth.

I mark my territory just like animals.

You like to act like a delinquent who kills people.

You brag about being brave until suddenly.

The cops arrest you. Urgent problem.

You don't lie to the prosecutors and you snitch on people.

You're walking through a swamp, man.

From which you can't get out.

Your life is a lie, all of it. It can't go on like this.

Move forward and change your life.

Or you'll always be a lost cause.

You have to see what a bad life you're living.

You're a lost cause.

You won't be able to handle much of this.

You have to move forward and fight every day.

What a bad life you're living.

You're a lost cause.

And you won't be able to handle much of this.

You have to move forward and fight every day.

After Kinky, everyone sounds the same.

Now everyone wants to be from the slums.

Turn it up, give me a show of what you're worth.

I mark my territory just like animals.

Time goes by, I keep taking advantage of the moment.

I know very well who I represent.

Blood and I infect you.

You dreamed of being perfect.

And you stayed in the attempt.

I live happily.

The water turned into wind for you.

Joy turned into suffering.

I sell talent.

While I'm dying inside.

I only feel resentment.

While I walk, I dodge missiles.

I turn your autumns into springs.

You've seen thousands of artists in your life.

And they weren't like Kinky and Daviles.

If you want to compare, you can also check.

That you don't gain quality just by stealing my style.

That at the speed that reggae is advancing in your city.

The flow really improves. Musicality is offered.

[Spanish]

Hay que ver que vida que llevas mal.

Eres un bala perdida.

Y así mucho no vas a aguantar.

Hay que avanzar y luchar día a día.

Que mala vida que llevas mal.

Eres un bala perdida.

Así mucho no vas a aguantar.

Hay que avanzar y luchar día a día.

Después del Kinky todos suenan iguales.

Hoy to' quieren ser de barrios marginales.

Súbale' pena' y demuéstrame lo que vales.

Marco mi territorio igual que los animales.

Después del Daviles to' suenan iguales.

Hoy to' quieren ser de barrios marginales.

Súbale' pena' y demuéstrame lo que vales.

Marco mi territorio igual que los animales.

Te gusta ir de delincuente y que mata gente.

Presume de ser valiente hasta que de repente.

Te detienen los agentes. Problema urgente.

A los fiscales no le' miente y delata gente.

Camina por un fango, cabrón.

Del que no puede salir.

Tu vida es mentira to'. No puede seguir así.

Tira pa' lante y cambia tu vida.

O siempre seguirás siendo un bala perdida.

Hay que ver que vida que llevas mal.

Después del Kinky to' suenan iguales.

Hoy to' quieren ser de barrio marginales.

Súbale' pena' y demuéstrame lo que vales.

Marco mi territorio igual que los animales.

Pasa el tiempo, sigo aprovechando el momento.

Sé muy bien a quien represento.

Sangre y te infecto.

Tu soñabas con ser perfecto.

Y te quedaste en el intento.

Vivo contento.

Te cambió el agua por el viento.

La alegría por sufrimiento.

Vendo talento.

Mientras voy muriendo por dentro.

Solo siento resentimiento.

Mientras camino esquivo misiles.

Convierto tus otoños en abriles.

Artistas en tu vida viste miles.

Y no eran como el Kinky y el Daviles.

Si quieres comparar de paso puedes comprobar.

Que no tan solo con robar mi estilo ganas calidad.

Que a la velocidad que avanza el reggae en tu ciudad.

Mejora el flow en realidad. Se ofrece musicalidad.
