Una Navaja

A Knife

Una Navaja

We all suffer insideTodos sufrimos por dentro
We all carry memories, that life gave usTodos cargamos recuerdos, que la vida nos dio
From my mother's adviceDe mi madre los consejos
That Nevarez taught and kept in his chestQue al Nevarez enseñó y en su pecho guardó

I lived among neighborhoods, I rememberViví entre barrios, recuerdo
The situation was tough, and that's how it wasFue dura la situación, y así me tocó
Young, discreet, and calmJoven, discreto y sereno
I had a lot of protection and that's how I tell themTuve mucha protección y así les cuento

A knifeUna navaja
That accompanies me, protectionQue me acompaña, protección
The coin dancesLa moneda baila
And you don't know which side you gotY no sabes cuál cara te tocó

They already know who he isYa saben quién es
The silent letter, old man, uhLa letra muda viejo, uh

A Cherokee going upUna Cherokee subiendo
There, in Palatine, it was seen, revving the engineAllá, en Palatine, se vio, jalando el motor
Two J's to get to know himDos J's para conocerlo
A man of motivation, who rules everythingHombre de motivación, que rifa todo

To be men I respect himPa' ser hombres le respeto
Earned with balls and makes you toughSe gana con los huevos y te hace cabrón
Watch out, the guy is readyPendiente, el vato está puesto
In case things heat up, it gets hotPor si se arma un calentón, se prende en calor

A knifeUna navaja
That accompanies me, protectionQue me acompaña, protección
The coin dancesLa moneda baila
And you don't know which side you gotY no sabes cuál cara te tocó
