De Ahí Vengo Yo

From the place I come from
If they close the door on you, you enter through a little hole
From the place I come from
There's nothing written about the coward

From the place I come from
The poor and the rich are both poor
From the place I come from
Envy is the one that wants you the most

I'm talking about the neighborhood
They're watching you on the corner
Where one lives off schemes
Where the neighbor is a gossip

Where the tough guy lives off his wits
The one who lives by the sword
Will die by the sword
Where they live off showing off to see who has more women

That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?
There I was crowned, aa ee what a thing, huh?
That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?
And everyone who closed the door on me, I'm making them surrender because I hit it

That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?
There I was crowned, aa ee what a thing, huh?
That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?
And everyone who closed the door on me, I'm making them surrender because I hit it

The guy hit it, with the blessing of Changó
That you gave me a tooth and it hurt you
And for those who criticized me
For those I don't trust
They got their ass caught in the door
Those who changed their ways

For those who find it difficult
Let me see how I explain it to you
We're giving you the scoop
And it's not just now, it's been a while
We started singing beautifully

That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?
There I was crowned, aa ee what a thing, huh?
That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?
And everyone who closed the door on me, I'm making them surrender because I hit it

Winito say it
Ernesto Losa
And they don't sing better than us
Planet Records
Ferrante
You're not prettier than us
You just want to look like us

That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?
There I was crowned, aa ee what a thing, huh?
That's where I come from, aa ee what a thing, huh?
And everyone who closed the door on me, I'm making them surrender because I hit it
