[English]

It's the goal

It's the plan

It's the moment ahead

It's the stages

The crowd

It's never or now

So I gotta let it fly

Gotta reach for the sky

I've been waiting for this

All my life

Cuz it's my time

Cuz it's my time

Cuz it's my time

Cuz it's my time

...

And I'm gonna shine

Voy a brillar

I'm gonna shine

Voy a ganar

I'm gonna shine

Este es mi tiempo

Mi oportunidad

And I'm gonna shine

De demostrarte quien soy

Quien soy en realidad

Yee ee eee (oouu o oooo)

oouu oo oooo) (yee ee eee)

This is the momento

Every time I get the chance

Imma show you I'm a man
