Sons of the Earth (feat. J NOA)

Hijos de la Tierra (part. J NOA)

The mailbox full of contracts for me to signEl correo lleno de contrato' pa' que yo los firme
The DMs full of dudes wanting to hit me upEl DM lleno de tiguere' que quieren darme
The passing years have made me a bit sensitiveEl paso de los años me ha puesto un poco sensible
And my name wrapped in leather, no one can stain meY mi nombre forra'o en leather, nadie puede mancharme

And they can call me arrogant, but I ain't no kiss-assY me pueden llama' arrogante, pero no lambí
Before Sony gave me a shot, I gave it to myselfAnte' de Sony dármela, yo me la di
I was born big, never had to growYo nací siendo grande, nunca me crecí
All those hands I bit were invisibleFueron invisible' toa' esas mano' que mordí

And those who told me it was for the love of the artY los que me dijeron que era por amor al arte
Were asking for their money upfront behind my backY por atrá' 'taban pidiendo su dinero a'lante
This industry has brought me people so emptyEsta industria me ha topa'o con gente tan vacía
That they even ask for mentions to feel importantQue hasta me piden mención pa' hacer sentir importante

And how hard it was to accept that here nobody's my friendY cuánto me costó aceptar que aquí nadie es mi pana
In this zoo, not just the monkey dances for the cashQue en este zoológico no solo el mono baila por la lana
That love, that act is faker than a whoreQue ese cariño, ese teatro son más falso' que una puta
When you put her in fourth gear and she says she loves youCuando tú la pone' en four y dice que te ama

Yesterday in PR and today I woke up in AtlantaAyer en PR y hoy amanecí en Atlanta
Looking for money that I might not even needBuscando un dinero que quizá no me haga falta
It's not my fault, it's just that ambition is so strongNo es mi culpa, es que la ambición es tanta
That I don't feel at ease unless I'm chasing the bagQue no me siento tranquila si no es buscando la paca

We are Black, we come from the bottomSomos negros, venimo' de abajo
Sons of the earth, pride of the hoodHijo' de la tierra, orgullo del barrio
We are the people of low wagesSomo' el pueblo de bajo salario
Slaves to the system, hustling for the daily breadEsclavo' del sistema, joseando pa'l diario

We are Black, we come from the bottomSomos negros, venimo' de abajo
Sons of the earth, pride of the hoodHijo' de la tierra, orgullo del barrio
We are the people of low wagesSomo' el pueblo de bajo salario
Slaves to the system, hustling for the daily breadEsclavo' del sistema, joseando pa'l diario

Oh, if I could choose againOh, si me dieran a elegir una vez más
I'd try to be what I was, not ableIntentaría volver a ser lo que fui no capaz
I'm bad, but never a hypocriteSoy malo, pero hipócrita jamás
I just seek peace, and I was born in Mad MaxYo solo busco paz, y me tocó nacer en Mad Max

And more, more the dough grows, it's never enoughY más, más crece la pasta, no basta
And more, more the embers and the craving growY más, más crecen las ascuas y el ansia
I'm not one of those who flaunt their ignoranceNo soy de aquellos que presumen su ignorancia
I always give thanks, for me, experience is the gainSiempre doy gracias, pa' mí la vivencia es la ganancia

We are from the block, there's no servitude hereSomos del patio, aquí no hay servidumbre
If not here, better get used to eating beansSi no es aquí, mejor que te acostumbre' a comer legumbre'
And not getting into what doesn't concern youY a no meterte en lo que no te incumbe
Stay humble when you reach the peakMantente humilde cuando logre' alcanzar la cumbre

I was hungry, weight on my shoulders, just a HublotYo tuve hambre, peso' en mis hombro', solo una Hublot
Now I'm big, even I’m surprised and I can't get used to itAhora soy grande, hasta yo me asombro y no me acostumbro
I like to stay in the shadowsMe gusta mantenerme en el anonimato
What I do is innate, sometimes it just comes out, I don't even tryLo mío es innato, a veces sale solo, yo ni trato

I fill my plate rhyming what I have in my headLleno mi plato rimando lo que tengo en mi casco
I have kids waiting every time I drop a hitTengo chamaco' esperando cada vez que saco un hit
Been hustling on the beat for yearsSon pila' de año' ya joseando en el beat
I'm the one with the motherfuckin' feeling on the streetYo soy el que tiene el motherfuckin' feelin' on the street

We are Black, we come from the bottomSomos negros, venimo' de abajo
Sons of the earth, pride of the hoodHijo' de la tierra, orgullo del barrio
We are the people of low wagesSomo' el pueblo de bajo salario
Slaves to the system, hustling for the daily breadEsclavo' del sistema, joseando pa'l diario
