Mala Infancia

Bad Childhood

Mala Infancia

I remember Carlitos, his mom pushed him to studyRecuerdo a carlitos su madre le exigia que estudiara
And to get his act togetherY que se capacitara
I also remember Miguel, his mom hit him and forced him to go stealTambien recuerdo al miguel que su madre le pegaba y exigia que saliera a robar
That's why the jails are overcrowdedPor eso las carceles estan sobre pobladas

They complain, they complain that there's too much crimeSe quejan se quejan que hay mucha delincuencia
But they don't tackle the root, which is childhoodY no atacan la raiz que esa es la infancia
Because due to a bad experienceYa que debido a una mala experiencia
They want to forget the bad by using violenceQuere olvidar lo malo usando la violencia
They criticize and criticize, and they don't know a thingCritican y critinca y ellos no saben nada
While I keep pushing through, coming from nothingY yo perseverando vengo de la nada
To tell them to wake upPara desirle que tomen conciencia
Crime comes from a bad childhoodLa delincuencia viene de una mala infancia

This is the story of JuanitoEsta es la historia de juanito
He was raped, he was beatenLo violaron le pegaron
They abused him, and no one listened when he was littleAbusaron de él y nunca lo escucharon cuando era chiquito
He forgot the bad with the smoke, then with the powderOlvidaba lo malo con los pito despues con el polvito
And to manage his expenses, he committed many crimesY pa gestionar los gastos se pitio muchos delitos
But the memories kept haunting himPero los recuerdo seguian presente
And it tormented his mind so muchY le atormentaba tanto la mente
Since a relative had violated himYa que lo habia violado un pariente
And for that reason, society calls him a criminalY por esa razon la sociedad lo llama delincuente

They complain, they complain that there's too much crimeSe quejan se quejan que hay mucha delincuencia
But they don't tackle the root, which is childhoodY no atacan la raiz que esa es la infancia
Because due to a bad experienceYa que debido a una mala experiencia
They want to forget the bad by using violenceQuere olvidar lo malo usando la violencia
They criticize and criticize, and they don't know a thingCritican y critinca y ellos no saben nada
While I keep pushing through, coming from nothingY yo perseverando vengo de la nada
To tell them to wake upPara desirle que tomen conciencia
Crime comes from a bad childhoodLa delincuencia viene de una mala infancia

Maybe it sounds like an excuse to youAlomejor te suena como escusa
But you can see it from both sidesPero se mira para ambos lados
When you cross the streetCuando la calle tu cruzas
Here we play Russian rouletteAqui jugamo a la ruleta rusa
Here cunning is allowedAqui es permitida la astucia
Here, from the heart, I ask youAqui de corazon señor te pido
To give me inspiration for the song that I writeQue me des inspiracion pa la cancion que yo escribo
And you, who have criminal problemsY tu que tienes problemas delictivos
Get out of the negative, brother, think positiveSale de lo negativo hermano piensa positivo

They complain, they complain that there's too much crimeSe quejan se quejan que hay mucha delincuencia
But they don't tackle the root, which is childhoodY no atacan la raiz que esa es la infancia
Because due to a bad experienceYa que debido a una mala experiencia
They want to forget the bad by using violenceQuere olvidar lo malo usando la violencia
They criticize and criticize, and they don't know a thingCritican y critinca y ellos no saben nada
While I keep pushing through, coming from nothingY yo perseverando vengo de la nada
