El de Arriba

The One Above

El de Arriba

What I have with sweat I have earned itLo que tengo con sudor me lo he ganado
I walk slowly, very honestlyYo camino lento, a paso muy honrado
I don't walk around showing off to peopleNo ando con charola presumiéndole a la gente
What doesn't belong to meLo que no me pertenece

There's no need to dirty my handsNo hay necesidad de ensuciarme las manos
Even though many say that cheating is progressAunque digan muchos que la tranza es el progreso
I know how to earn every peso with gutsYo me sé ganar con huevos cada peso
Without selling my soul to the devilSin venderle el alma al diablo

Everyone chooses their own hells in lifeCada quien elige en vida sus infiernos
I chose to be one of the good onesYo elegí ser de los buenos
But there are many fools who confuse thatPero hay muchos tontos que confunden eso
And label you as a fool, they do wrongY te tachan de pendejo, hacen mal
But I don't feel inferiorPero no me acomplejo

I walkYo camino
Straight as my mother taught me, with purpose in lifeDerechito como me enseñó mi madre, con propósito en la vida
What good is it to be great if you screwed over others to be on top?¿De qué sirve ser chingón si chingaste a varios por estar arriba?
The great ones are those who shine without overshadowingChingones son los que sin opacar
AnyoneA nadie, siempre brillan

I walkYo camino
Straight as my father taught me, without giving up on the climbDerechito como me enseñó mi padre, sin rajarme en la subida
Never let someone else carry your burdenNunca dejes que otro cargue tu morral
Or show you another way outO te muestre otra salida
Fight hard with courage and without hesitationLucha fuerte con valor y sin dudar
That the reward will always comeQue la recompensa siempre ha de llegar
The one above never failsNunca falla el de arriba
