Palabras Con Sentido
Daddy Yankee
Words With Meaning
I remember like yesterday that just for listening
To this music they treated you like a criminal, yeah
They would arrest you violating your rights
Prejudice is still not satisfied
They point at me with the finger of discrimination
Until they give me the death penalty without committing a crime
Am I not supposed to defend myself? Ah!
Should injustice win the contest?
I'm not a freeloader, I have my own
A global company and I came out of the projects
Thanks to reggaeton I keep creating jobs
A bad education is what creates criminals
You keep talking about me
Before talking, look at yourself well
The country can be improved
And my neighborhood, oh oh oh
Instead of focusing on me
Do your part as well
The country can be improved
And my neighborhood, oh oh oh
The street gives you what a book doesn't teach you
And a book teaches you what the street doesn't give you
Dignity is not pawned for gold
That's why I stand firm against society
With elaborate words they weave elaborate lies
To deceive you in their organized confusion
My point is real, if what I sing is wrong
Close down music in general
What were the authors of 911 listening to?
What was Timothy Mcveigh listening to back then?
What was the killer of the famous Beatle listening to?
What was Mao Tse Tung, Stalin, and Hitler listening to ah?
You keep talking about me
Before talking, look at yourself well
The country can be improved
And my neighborhood, oh oh oh
Instead of focusing on me
Do your part as well
The country can be improved
And my neighborhood, oh oh oh
We need the truth from journalists
We need more inspiration from artists
We need commitment from the family
We need the church to remain vigilant
We need death not to be the news of the day
More action, less politicking
We need to give life to sterile thinking
Let's show that we are not a weak people
We need the rich to help the poor
And for the poor not to judge the man
We need to heal the problem from the root
We need the unity of the whole country
You keep talking about me
Before talking, look at yourself well
The country can be improved
And my neighborhood, oh oh oh
Instead of focusing on me
Do your part as well
The country can be improved
And my neighborhood, oh oh oh
And I take this opportunity to make a call for unity
Say no to discrimination, prejudice
And to the marginalization that divides us so much
Urban music creates jobs
Saves lives like mine
And has given the tools
Like to many of my colleagues and me to improve ourselves
