De Ahí Vengo Yo

That's Where I Come From

De Ahí Vengo Yo

From the place I come fromDel lugar que vengo
If they close the door on you, you enter through a little holeSi te cierran la puerta y se entra por un huequito
From the place I come fromDel lugar que vengo
There's nothing written about the cowardDel cobarde no hay nada escrito

From the place I come fromDel lugar que vengo
The poor and the rich are both poorEl pobre y es pobre también el que tiene
From the place I come fromDel lugar que vengo
Envy is the one that wants you the mostEs la envidia la que más te quiere

I'm talking about the neighborhoodEstoy hablando del barrio
They're watching you on the cornerTe están viendo en la esquina
Where one lives off schemesDonde se vive del invento
Where the neighbor is a gossipDonde chismosa es la vecina

Where the tough guy lives off his witsDonde el guapo vive del penco
The one who lives by the swordDel que al hierro mata
Will die by the swordSiempre a hierro muere
Where they live off showing off to see who has more womenDonde se vive del aguaje a ver quién tiene más mujeres

That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?De ahí vengo yo, aa ee que cosa eh?
There I was crowned, aa ee what a thing, huh?Ahí yo coroné, aa ee que cosa eh?
That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?De ahí vengo yo, aa ee que cosa eh?
And everyone who closed the door on me, I'm making them surrender because I hit itY to el que me cerró la puerta lo vengo rindiendo porque la choqué

And everyone who closed the door on me, I'm making them surrender because I hit itY to el que me cerró la puerta lo vengo rindiendo porque la choqué

The guy hit it, with the blessing of ChangóEl tipo lo chocó, con la bendición de Changó
That you gave me a tooth and it hurt youQue tú me diste diente y te dolió
And for those who criticized meY pa el que me criticó
For those I don't trustPa el que no confío
They got their ass caught in the doorEl culo con la puerta se cogió
Those who changed their waysLos que cambiaron de formato

For those who find it difficultEl que no se le facilita
Let me see how I explain it to youDéjame ver cómo te explico
We're giving you the scoopLe estamos soltando el dato
And it's not just now, it's been a whileY no es de ahora es de hace rato
We started singing beautifullyNos pusimos a cantar bonito

That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?De ahí vengo yo, aa ee que cosa eh?
There I was crowned, aa ee what a thing, huh?Ahí yo coroné, aa ee que cosa eh?
