Talento de Barrio

Da-ddy Yankee!

I am from the neighborhood
Today life is a stage
That tests the neighborhood talent
Neighborhood! Yeah!

Despite the shadow of death
Everything I've seen
Has made me stronger
I am from the neighborhood

Today life is a stage
That tests the neighborhood talent
Neighborhood!
Money, the girls, the parties, pleasures, I want them all

I continue
I need
A car
A house
More clothes
The money
I'm tired of being dry (you know!)
From the war I ask you about the mythical point
And when I paralyze I scrutinize

But brother, repent
Christ wants to help you, convert
He wants to give you life, he wants to save you
Because he says that death is coming soon

Hallelujah!
But no one listens to him
No one is interested in taking the first step
If things are good and the pockets are full

The other businesses are rejected
Later the neighborhood is calm
There you can't see a soul
Right? How can evil exist

But I'm not afraid to die
Think about it if you're ready
Because you've seen it yourself
And you've heard the screams of

Run, run!
The guys from the neighborhood are shooting! Run!
Get up, don't let yourself be killed, so
Run, run!

Do you remember the end of the story
The guy who had the audacity
His family was assaulted, he was kidnapped
They burned his apartment

I am from the neighborhood
Today life is a stage
That tests the neighborhood talent
Neighborhood! Yeah!

Despite the shadow of death
Everything I've seen
Has made me stronger
I am from the neighborhood

Today life is a stage
That tests the neighborhood talent
Neighborhood!
Money, the girls, the parties, pleasures, I want them all

What is your ambition
I wish I were in your position
Thank God
Who gave you a great blessing

There is confusion
Evil tempts to perdition
But you can go far by making the decision
Dark paths where you don't see the light

But everyone has to fight
And carry their cross
You don't choose the tests
The tests choose you

Life is like a coin
You take heads or tails
Thinking about how I did it
Listen well, I ask you

How many honor students are on the street
4. 4 guys on a high-caliber list
They will make a couple of pa pa pa pa' free throws
Follow my example

I'm here in a softball tournament
Instead of being in the big leagues
I got involved in alcohol
In messing around, in smoking

You are your own adversary
Leave the excuse
Go out and conquer
Your neighborhood talent

Do you follow me?
You're right, I'm going to mine
