Soy Lo Que Soy

Ey, yo'
You represent the street to friends
It represents enemies
The street is my inspiration, it's my essence
The street destroys you, or the street makes you
It doesn't matter who you are or where you go
Everything ends on the street

The street walks with me
That's why I am where I am
The street walks with me
That's why I am where I am

That's how it is and we continue here
I will continue firmly
Reggaeton lives through me
The force that lives inside me

I remember my school days
And the hospital when my grandmother took care of me
It's incredible how time flies
And I'm surprised when those who don't know me are jealous, but

The street walks with me
That's why I am where I am
The street walks with me
That's why I am where I am

Thank God who gave me the pleasure
To be born in this land that saw me grow
It was because of him that I was not arrested or killed
And I still feel indebted to him, yes!

All Latinos supported me
They adopted me in their hearts
They looked at me as an example of overcoming
They baptized me as The King of Reggaeton
The success I have, bro, don't be surprised
I had to fight to make my name
Selling cassettes in '93
Look how far I've come, ha!
The success I have, bro, don't be surprised
I had to fight to make my name
Selling cassettes in '93
Look how far I've come, because

The street walks with me
That's why I am where I am
The street walks with me
That's why I am where I am

This is how I am, wherever I go
No rapper has done what I have done until today
I don't care who they are or how many they are
I have plenty of heart, yeah
Man, if you're street, you'll understand me
If you're a delinquent, what else can you see?
Tell me what you're going to do to me
It takes more than an army to stop me
I defend myself with the love of my people
In all the countries I go to, it's felt
It's worth more than a Billboard and weighs more than a Grammy

Tell me if that's not a weapon
I defend myself with the love of my people
In all the countries I go to, it's felt
It's worth more than a Billboard and weighs more than a Grammy
Tell me if that's not a weapon, because

The street walks with me
That's why I am where I am
The street walks with me
That's why I am where I am

Yeah, you know who's this
Daddy Yankee, The Big Boss
The True Essence
Because the street hit me
When this wasn't playing on the radio or TV
And no one wanted to know about this music
But thanks to the people, we are here
Because they made it possible for us to get here
So the credit for the success of reggaeton
The people deserve it, daddy, no one else
So don't be there giving credit to other people
Don't be hypocrites, let's bring it as it is
The true leader of reggaeton speaks to you
The Big Boss, Daddy Yankee
This servant has passed through all the musical generations
And has remained undefeated
