Promesa de Amor

Since I was 13, I declared my loveDesde los 13 años le declaré mi amor
And it didn't betray me, noY no le traicionó, no
Because it changed my life and at the same time saved itPorque cambió mi vida y a la vez la salvó
Eternal love for hip-hopEterno amor al hip-hop

Since I was 13, I declared my loveDesde los 13 años le declaré mi amor
And it didn't betray me, noY no le traicionó, no

Eternal love for hip-hopEterno amor al hip-hop

To the beat of a drum and a box, my life marches onAl ritmo de un bombo y una caja marcha mi vida
To the rhythm of the bongo and the guitar, my days continueAl ritmo del bongo y la guitarra, siguen mis días
I overcome hypocrisy listening to melodiesSupero hipocresía escuchando melodías
I distinguish realities in a world of fantasies wellDistingo realidades en mundo de fantasías well

He took me off the streetsDe la calle me sacó
He gave me everythingÉl todo me lo entregó
But he also taught mePero también me enseñó
To chase my dreamsA perseguir mis sueños

Hip-hop showed meEl hip-hop me demostró
That a true friendQue un verdadero amigo
Is the one who fought with you through thick and thinEs el que en las buenas y malas contigo luchó
That's why I continue dailyPor eso a diario sigo

In pursuit of being the bestEn pro, de ser el mejor
And not being what they sayY de no ser lo que digan
This man fought like no otherEste hombre como luchó
My faith is always in GodMi fe siempre esta en Dios

His hand always guided meSu mano siempre me guio
And I owe it to Him to put hip-hop in my heartY a Él le debo poner hip-hop en mi corazón
That's why I always sayPor eso siempre digo
With firmness and my voiceCon firmeza y mi voz

I will always makeAl hip-hop siempre le haré
A promise of love to hip-hopUna promesa de amor
A promise of loveUna promesa de amor

Through hip-hop I met friendsCon hip-hop conocí amigos
And I met the streetsY conocí la calle
And I gained enemiesY me gané enemigos
Better, I won't go into detailsMejor, no entro en detalles

And I met lethal freestylesY conocí freestyles letales
Abnormal rappersRaperos anormales
Some fatal stylesUnos styles fatales
I learned to kiss the rhymesAprendí a besar las rimas

To make love to the stagesHacerle el amor a las tarimas
To love my lifeA querer mi vida
No matter what they say about meSin importar de mi lo que digan
And I don't lieY yo no miento

When I confessCuando confieso
When I promiseCuando prometo
This love will be eternalEste amor será eterno
No matter what they sayNo importa cuanto digan

That I'm a talentless manQue soy hombre sin talento
At least I tryPor lo menos lo intento
And I don't lie to my peopleY a mi gente no miento
I always have argumentsSiempre tengo argumentos

And a good knowledgeY un buen conocimiento
And what I say, I stand byY lo que digo lo sostengo
I break mathematical rulesRompo reglas matemáticas
My rhymes are freneticMis rimas son frenéticas
Genius of grammarGenio de la gramática

When I use my dialecticCuando uso mi dialéctica
Hip-hop is aestheticEl hip-hop es estética
It's poetic rhymeEs la rima poética
It's knowing how to use metricsEs saber usar la métrica
And mix it with aestheticsY mezclarla con estética
