Atrapado
Willie Colón
Trapped
He doesn't know how long he's been in the business
The truth is that he has progressed from that yesterday
Ramon is part of a world where everything is at stake
A world from which one can never return
(Cocaine marijuana smuggling smells like jail)
Selling bad on the city streets
(Cocaine marijuana money pays for everything)
Sometimes death itself comes to collect
Sometimes being too clever goes wrong
That's how he arrived at the rainy and ominous Friday night
Trying to get rid of a large package
Looking for a visa to retire
But he was discovered, three shots were direct
Lying on the sidewalk, he knew no more
And the one who does wrong pays for it all, every betrayal ends badly
And Ramon went to make his final move
(Cocaine marijuana smuggling smells like jail)
Selling bad on the city streets
(Cocaine marijuana money pays for everything)
Sometimes death itself comes to collect
Sometimes being too clever goes wrong
Sometimes being too clever goes wrong
That's how life is played when it comes to money
Life is played and it goes away in a moment
The one who does wrong pays for it, as an old man tells us
Poor Ramon thought he was escaping his hell
That's how life is played when it comes to money
Life is played and it goes away in a moment
Not everything can be bought with money, learn this lesson
See how much it cost that fool Ramon and I enjoy it
That's how life is played when it comes to money
Life is played and it goes away in a moment
And the story repeats itself because no one learns from it
Beautiful dreams of victory sometimes bring you death
Life is played for money
That's how life is played
Ambition
And it's lost on any corner, listen
For money and ambition
Like what happened to Ramon but it's a sad memory
And you never win
Ask Ramon, the one who does wrong pays
Without thinking about tomorrow
And you know well that crime doesn't pay
And you bet everything or nothing
And it makes you lose your mind with a marked chip
Life is played for gold
And you won't win, I'm telling you
