No soy de aquí, ni de allá

What's up, folks, here's a little song that tells the truth,
listen to my buddy jae-p, don't be scared, assholes...

I had no say, I was brought here very young when my dad said
let's cross the river, neither my face nor my skin
was the accepted form made in the USA, damn, I'm worth nothing
over the years I messed up and became tough
I learned to speak English, I thought I was really cool,
although I speak the language, don't think I've made it
for the gringo I'm a wet back, a damn joke
I don't care what they say, don't think about me,
my son will be the president of this damn country, the Latino
nowadays is not just a dishwasher
hey Loreta Sanchez, who cleans your shoes,
if you don't take advantage of what this land offers,
you'll go back like an ungrateful dog, Mexican
I love you and they'll bury me there,
but here's the money and I have to hustle

(chorus)
because I'm not from here nor from there,
but here is where I like it, here I'll stay

because I'm not from here nor from there,
with 2 accents in my tongue I will succeed

because I'm not from here nor from there,
but here is where I like it, here I'll stay

because I'm not from here nor from there,
whether you like it or not, they will accept me

after Latinpark I wanted to go back to see my little town
and in the middle of Christmas I saw Rosita and wanted to greet her
she turned around and said 'THIS GUY CAN'T SPEAK'
at first I blamed the idiot Santana for selling
what was ours and keeping the money, but folks
I ask you to learn English well because this land
will be ours again, and as I've already told you, don't have any more
dark-skinned friends, buddy, keep going to beat these gringos
if we want what's ours, we have to put a lot of effort
to be able to buy here what in Mexico
we couldn't get, in the middle of the party I start to think
how much I miss you and how I want to be in Mexico
I love you and don't want to betray you but as my grandma says
'first you have to swallow'

(chorus)

because I'm not from here nor from there,
but here is where I like it, here I'll stay

because I'm not from here nor from there,
with 2 accents in my tongue I will succeed

because I'm not from here nor from there,
but here is where I like it, here I'll stay

because I'm not from here nor from there,
whether you like it or not, they will accept me

everyone is a patriot, no one tells the truth
but don't you remember we couldn't vote, beautiful
and beloved Mexico, I can't forget you with your flag on my body
they'll bury me, but I'm on this side
and if they attack me, the gun to bin Laden
I'll kill, I'm proud of what
I've achieved in Mexico, I wasn't worth anything, they pushed me aside
but I had hope and here I excelled, I put in a lot of effort
I bought a truck, I send money
to my town so they can improve, enjoy
what I've been able to achieve, but neither gold nor riches
make me feel how beautiful it is to live in that lovely
country Mexico, I love you and want to go back
but your people don't understand me and will never accept me

(chorus)

because I'm not from here nor from there,
but here is where I like it, here I'll stay

because I'm not from here nor from there,
with 2 accents in my tongue I will succeed

because I'm not from here nor from there,
but here is where I like it, here I'll stay

because I'm not from here nor from there,
whether you like it or not, they will accept me
