Aquí Mando Yo

I'm in Charge Here

Aquí Mando Yo

Singing to our peopleEl cantarle a nuestra gente
Seemed like an incoherent dreamParecía un sueño incoherente
A thousand barriers were brokenSe rompieron mil barreras
We started from the bottomComenzamos desde abajo
Without a penny in our walletSin ni un peso en la cartera
It was damn good indeedSí que estuvo bien carajo

In the world of gossipEn el mundo del mitote
Lies come to lightLa mentira sale a flote
And there are many apprenticesY andan muchos aprendices
Who were consumed by moneyQue se los comió el dinero
They forgot their rootsOlvidaron sus raíces
And became arrogantY arrogantes se volvieron

Today's classLa clase de hoy
I believe the studentAl estudiante creo
Won't like itQue no le va a gustar
If I take attendance, many are missingSi paso lista varios faltan
Their streak is overSe les acabó la racha
And what was once strongY lo que un día estuvo firme
Started to crumbleSe empezó a desmoronar

I'm in charge hereAquí mando yo
And I didn't have to buy this fangY este colmillo no lo tuve que comprar
It's been years of experienceYa son años de trayectoria
We've tasted gloryYa probamos de la gloria
We were coming from the storeYa veníamos de la tienda
While you were getting breadCuando tú ibas por el pan
We must accept the truthHay que aceptar la verdad

(These verses I sing today)(Estos versos que hoy les canto)
(Are tailored for many who talk)(Son hechos a la medida de muchos que andan hablando)
(In a world of hypocrisy)(En un mundo de hipocresía)
(The one who speaks the truth)(Aquel que dice la verdad)
(Ends up being the villain)(Termina siendo el villano)
(Quick mouths with words)(Bocas ligeras de palabras)
(That sweetened their ears)(Que endulzaron sus oídos)
(Telling stories they've never lived)(Contando historias que ellos jamás han vivido)
(But throughout this jungle)(Pero a lo largo y ancho de esta selva)
The crown is not lent(La corona no se presta)
(And the tiger is respected)(Y se le respeta al tigre)
(With head held high)(Con la frente muy en alto)
(Even if they look down on me)(Aunque me miren para abajo)
(Know that I'm in charge here)(Sepan que aquí mando yo)

It's the daily breadEs el pan de cada día
To speak pure liesEl hablar pura mentira
I'll refresh your mindLes refrescaré la mente
Now that you're seatedAhorita que están sentados
To the top bossAl mero jefe de jefes
You never speak harshlyNunca se le habla pesado
