Aquí no mando yo (Presentación)

Here I don't call the shotsAquí no mando yo
In my neighborhood, I don't call the shots anymoreEn mi barrio ya no mando yo
Now anyone can take chargeAhora manda cualquiera
We are the ones who lived in the neighborhoodsSomos lo que habitábamos los barrios
Born from the dirtLos nacidos del barro
The sovereign communityLa soberana vecindad
From the elite bloodline of the streetsDe la estirpe selecta de la calle
From the illustrious lineageDel ilustre linaje
Of the favored children of freedomDe los hijos favoritos de la libertad
Beings with a divine accentSeres de acento divino
But learned to sing instead of cryingPero que aprendieron a cantar por no llorar
And shared their dreamsY compartieron sus sueños
Their bread and their livesSu pan y su vida
In a neighboring courtyardEn un patio vecino
We are the ones who don't fit inSomos los que sobran
Within this gangDentro de esta ganga
We are the ones who areSomos los que están
Outside the lawFuera de la ley

Of supply and demandDe la oferta y la demanda
