[English]

Health and freedom for my people, that's what I want

And may I never lack money

Because happiness isn’t given by money

Freedom is always first

I remember when I had nothing

Trying to earn it the right way

So much abuse of authority

Everyone here knows who’s who

Respectable folks

Don’t treat me like a criminal anymore

I just want to earn it for my people

Making my way through life, head-on

No excuses

Before, I had nothing, but now we’re thriving

But I’ve got a couple of fakes who’ve seen my whole story

Always keeping a low profile, but the vibe’s on top

Coming down from the Jambo’s because I’m in euphoria

Tell me how, tell me where, tell me when

If now I’m living everything I used to dream of

Selling records, we’re not struggling anymore

And tell me, officer, why are you stopping me?

I never say Nike, I say Nike

Living the movie every night

Before, there was nothing, but now there is

This is for my cousins and all the high ones

Hundred-dollar bills

Not lacking for moms, dads, or kids either

Because I’ve made it

And I give it to your guy

Respectable folks

Don’t treat me like a criminal anymore

I just want to earn it for my people

Making my way through life, head-on

No excuses

I’m still where I’ve always been

Even if my status rises and people see me differently

Mom’s house is a museum, and I earn more than listeners

They said it couldn’t be done, that it was just luck

That I’d end up a criminal

At 24, I’ve got it figured out

I’ve already come back stronger

One who wants to put me behind bars

And another who helps pay the rent

Here in my neighborhood, don’t expect an answer

Here, the hustle changes daily

It gets tough in slow motion

And out of envy, everything gets talked about

[Spanish]

Salud y libertad pa' los míos yo quiero

Y que no me falte el dinero

Que la felicidad no me la da el dinero

La libertad siempre es lo primero

Me acuerdo cuando no tenía na'

Tratando de ganarlo bien

Mucho abuso de autoridad

Aquí to' el mundo sabe quién es quién

Señora gente

No me trates más de delincuente

Solo quiero ganarlo pa' mi gente

Buscándome la vida y de frente

No hay invente

Antes no tenía y ahora estamos glory

Pero tengo un par de falsos que me ven to' la historia

Siempre bajo perfil por encima el mambo

Bajando de los Jambo' porque llevo una euforia

Dime cómo, dime dónde, dime cuándo

Si ahora me estoy viviendo to' lo que estaba soñando

Vendiendo discos ya no estamos joseando

Y dígame señora agente ¿por qué usted me está parando?

Nunca digo Nike, yo digo Nike

Se vive en la movie for night

Antes no había pero ahora hay

Esto es pa' los primos y pa' to' los high

Billetes de cien

No le falta a las mamas ni a los papas, a los niños también

Porque ya coroné

Y se lo doy a tu gallo

Señora gente

No me trates más de delincuente

Solo quiero ganarlo pa' mi gente

Buscándome la vida y de frente

No inventes

Yo sigo donde siempre

Aunque suba la cuenta y me mire distinta la gente

La casa de mami un museo y más gano no oyentes

Decían que no se podía que esto fue por suerte

Que sería un delincuente

Con 24 la tengo resuelta

Yo ya he venido pasado de vuelta

Uno que quiere meterme entre rejas

Y a otro ayuda que pague la renta

Aquí en mi barrio no espere respuesta

Aquí a diario se cambia la venta

Se hace difícil a cámara lenta

Y por la envidia todo se comenta
