[English]

Memories

pounding in my head

accompanied by tears and sighs

Lying here

on my lonely bed

I'm reading from my book of lies

They're telling me that my block was raided

that my block was raided

They're saying the prosecutor's office raided my block and found contraband next to my house

Who the hell's knocking? The police tell me, but damn, this is what I hustle with every day

Bless the hustle, we're not in a drought

but this is the hustle I do every day

I keep wondering what's going to happen to my life and your bitch is no longer mine, but she wants to be mine

They're telling me that on the rooftops

that I should go see if the contraband is safe,

I trust no one and I make the sign of the cross when I go out,

because more than one neighbor has turned into a snitch

and that those who come for me should step in firmly,

because if they don't, I'll stomp them and break them

Alright, I despise that—we've already seen it a lot

Ah ah...

And anyone who pretends to be tough, just turn around

The damn thugs are kicking down my door

I'm singing about the street because I've lived it up close

Since I was a kid I've been dealing with dead people

The rooftops are sounding, the police got in

My chain broke, something told me

that I shouldn't go down today, that those people were coming

to see a day without hustle or a day without food

They step on the weak, I steal their cake

Kids under 12 with a .38

Brothers selling brothers and women selling themselves

I don't want to rap about problems but we have a lot

All, all, all, all the bitches, all the bad ones, they all want to be mine

Babe, the problem isn’t you, okay

I'm collecting cash to wipe out anyone who crosses me

Shut your mouth, crazy one, those who talk won’t impress you

They want to talk about being bandits and it doesn’t suit them

They want to talk about bitches but we’ve already moved past that

They want to talk about guns and then they start crying

And they complain when they see that a brother was killed

[Spanish]

Memories

pounding in my head

accompanied by tears and sighs

Lying here

on my lonely bed

I'm reading from my book of lies

Me están diciendo que a mi bloque lo allanó

que a mi bloque lo allanó

Me están diciendo que a mi bloque lo allanó la fiscalía, que al lado de mi casa encontraron una mercancía.

¿Quién carajo toca? Me dice la policía, pero diablo, esto es con lo que yo brego todos los días.

Bendiga la pilla, no estamos en sequía

pero este es el hussle que yo hago todos los días.

Yo sigo pensando qué va a ser la vida mía y tu perra ya no es mía, pero quiere ser mi

Me están diciendo que en los techos

que vaya a ver si la mercancía está a salvo,

no confío en nadie y me persigno cuando salgo,

porque más de un paisano me ha salido carbo

y que metan el pie fuerte los que vienen por mi,

porque si no yo se lo piso y se lo parto.

Vale y menosprecio eso ya lo hemos visto harto.

Ah ah...

Y el que se haga el mierda que se de la vuelta

Los tombos hijueputa están pateándome la puerta

Estoy cantando calle porque la viví de cerca

Desde chamaquito estoy pillando gente muerta

Las tejas están sonando, se metió la policía

Se me rompió el collar, algo me decía

que no me tirara hoy, que esa gente venía

a ver Un Día Sin Hussle o Un Día Sin Comida

Se meten el pie a los mochos, les robo el bizcocho

Menores de 12 con un .38

Hermanos vendiendo hermanos y mujeres vendiendo el chocho

No quiero cantar problemas pero es que tenemos mucho

Toda' toda' toda' toda' las perras, toda' las malas, todas, todas quieren ser mías

Mami, el problema no eres tú, ok

Estoy juntando chavos pa borrarlo al que se cruce

Cierra la boca loca, las que hablan todas no te lucen

Quieren hablar de bandida y no les da

Quieren hablar de perras pero por ahí ya pasamos

Quieren hablar de armas y después salen a llorar

Y se quejan cuando ven que le mataron un hermano
