Pobre o Ciminal

Poor or Criminal

Pobre o Ciminal

In a hurry you realize who's worth itEn chinga te das cuenta quien vale
And who's just playing aroundY quien nomas la anda jugando
Or if they're looking for a favorO si anda en busca de un favor
To convince damn peopleA pinche gente convenciera
That only when you have moneyQue nomás cuando traes feria
They come close to you like crazySe arriman a lo cabron

One doesn't know who they come acrossUno no sabe con quién se topa
If they see you well-dressedSi te miran bien vestido
They treat you betterTe dan un trato mejor
That's why I don't make friendsPor eso no me hago de amistades
Because I learned many thingsPorque aprendí muchas cosas
When I was in prisonCuando estaba en la prisión

I found value in great thingsLe tome el valor a grandes cosas
Love for my familyEl amor a mi familia
And had great faith in my GodY le tuve gran fe a mi Dios
For a better lifePor una vida mejor

Out of those 500 acquaintancesDe aquellos 500 conocidos
Very few friends remainMuy pocos amigos quedan
Since the day of my bustDesde el día de mi atorón
I know well what I did isn't rightSe bien que lo que hice no es correcto
But it's the only wayPero es la única manera
I could get byEn que me pude acomodar

Many times not having schoolMuchas veces no tener escuela
Is difficult for the poorSe le dificulta al pobre
For an opportunityPor una oportunidad
I didn't go to schoolNo fui a la escuela
And not because I didn't want toY no porque no haya querido
Life got toughLa vida se puso dura
And I dedicated myself to workY me dedique a trabajar
Believe me, it went wellCrean que no me fue mal

(Here goes, buddy Cesar Meza(Hay le va compa Cesar Meza
To Los Mochis, Sinaloa)Hasta Los Mochis, Sinaloa)

I started as a messengerPrimero empecé de mandadero
I threw myself into my exploitsMe aventaba mis hazañas
No matter whatA como diera lugar
I started to relate heavilyMe empecé a relacionar macizo
With the people of the peopleCon la gente de la gente
On an international levelA nivel internacional

I took flights and landingsEmprendí vuelos y aterrizajes
I went all the way to ColombiaMe la avente hasta Colombia
With Mr. Pablo EscobarCon Mr. Pablo Escobar
From there my fame beganDe ahí mi fama empezó
To rise like foamA subir como la espuma
It was known of a new manSe sabía de un hombre nuevo
Who started hitting hardQue empezó duro a batear

Among all, I stood outEntre todos yo sobresalía
But fame and trustPero la fama y confianza
Don't lead to a good placeNo llevan a un buen lugar
I came across the compassMe topé con el compás

For those who want to grow oldDe aquellos que quieren llegar a viejos
Dedicate yourself to your businessDedíque se a su negocio
And be discreet, that's allY sean discretos nada más
We know the world is toughSabemos que el mundo esta difícil
Especially when you were at zeroMás cuando anduviste en ceros
And struggled moreY le has batallado más

When people see you up thereLa gente cuando te mira arriba
A greeting and a hugUn saludo y un abrazo
Doesn't mean friendshipNo significa amistad
Friends are those who helped youSon amigos aquellos que te ayudaron
The options on the roadLas opciones del camino
Are two very clear onesSon dos muy claras están
Either you're Poor Or CriminalO eres Pobre O Criminal
