So They Know How I Am

Julio Sosa

Pa' Que Sepan Cómo Soy

Abran cancha... Y no se atoren que hay pa' todos y tupido,
Tome nota la gilada que hoy da cátedra un varón,
Y aunque nunca doy consejos, porque no soy engrupido,
Quiero batir mi prontuario... Pa' que sepan cómo soy.

No me gusta ser ortiva, ni nací pa' lengua larga,
Y aunque me apure la yuta sé callar en la ocasión,
No le doy bola a los grasas que me miran y se amargan,
Conservando la distancia sé engrupir con distinción.
En la timba soy ligero, yo nací pa'l escolaso,
No se afane la muñeca cuando sobra calidad,
Yo conozco muchos vivos que cayeron en el lazo,
El que liga y se embalurda se deschava sin pensar.

Pa' las pilchas soy de clase
Siempre cuido mi figura,
Para conquistar ternuras
Hay que fingir posición.
Yo conozco bien el fato
Para mí el chamuyo es juego
Lo bato sencillo y reo
Pa' que sepan cómo soy.

Sé muy bien que entre los buscas hay algunos que me chivan,
Y me quieren dar la cana por envidia o por rencor,
Pero para mí no hay contra, los dejo tragar saliva,
Son borrados que no corren, son bagayos de ocasión.
Con guita, cualquiera es vivo, son anzuelos los canarios.
La cuestión es ser un seco y que te llamen señor;
Yo la voy de bacanazo, mas si junan mi prontuario
Sabrán que soy sin más vueltas... ¡un porteño flor y flor!

So They Know How I Am

Make way... And don't get stuck because there's enough for everyone and it's dense,
The fools take note as a man is teaching today,
And although I never give advice, because I'm not a con artist,
I want to share my record... So they know how I am.

I don't like being a buzzkill, nor was I born to gossip,
And even if the cops rush me, I know how to keep quiet when needed,
I don't pay attention to the tacky people who look at me and get bitter,
Maintaining a distance, I know how to deceive with distinction.
In gambling, I'm quick, I was born for the hustle,
Don't worry about the wrist when there's quality to spare,
I know many smart guys who fell into the trap,
The one who wins and gets cocky reveals himself without thinking.

When it comes to clothes, I have class
I always take care of my appearance,
To win over affections
You have to pretend to have status.
I know the game well
For me, sweet talk is a game
I play it simple and sly
So they know how I am.

I know well that among the seekers there are some who snitch on me,
And they want to bust me out of envy or spite,
But for me, there's no opposition, I let them swallow their saliva,
They're erased ones who don't stand a chance, they're temporary riffraff.
With money, anyone can be clever, the canaries are bait.
The key is to be sharp and be called sir;
I act like a big shot, but if they check my record
They'll know that without further ado... I'm a true Buenos Aires native!
