Méritos Propios

Own merits, work for it
Mexico and Spain!
And have patience, it's not a matter of a day or two
Hey now!
And don't worry, it's the best for you
Look, I'm fed up already, of hearing crying
If you want to make me feel sorry, you will regret
Playing with me, emotional blackmail
I have no compassion for the mentally poor
I leave this message, although I know nobody will read it
I'm a young man with problems and I really like rap
But I don't have the fame, nor the money and the truth
It's not going well because you don't want to support me
You try to make me feel sorry, but look, I don't care
Whether you're missing an ear or can't walk
If Stephen Hawking could stand out from the rest
It's because he didn't use his energy to beg
Don't tell me stories, I will tell you
But I won't do it begging for publicity
It will be with this track and its amazing sound
You look for the shortcut, I don't stop working
Look, when I started I didn't have a PC
Nor internet and no mp3 either
I depended on others and recorded on CD
To have my own equipment, I worked extra hours
What I liked was different, singing choruses
But it was frowned upon, in rap
I stuck to my guns and that's why it wasn't easy
The old school guys, if they could, they tripped me up
And I fought with everyone
Not even God supported me
But I kept going anyway
Even my father despised me
For making that shitty music, but
I didn't care about family
Or the fucking mothers of the rappers
I worked and worked for each boss, asshole
What I earned, I spent on buying recording equipment
I didn't recover a single cent
There was no YouTube, no promotion
You only seek views and fame
You don't know what true passion is
I put love, vocation, sacrifice
Balls, dedication, and time rewarded me
Karma? It's actually logic, asshole
Today I live off music like a fucking gentleman
I often fly to Latin America
I work like a Chinese, but that's how I refine my metrics
You want help? Well, today I'm in a very good mood
I give you this advice, stop asking and work for it
Own merits, work for it
Put some balls into it, bro
And have patience, it's not a matter of a day or two
And don't worry, it's the best for you
You'll get there if you have to and you'll become strong
You'll be grateful to have gone through what I did
Don't come tell me your stories
You don't know the shit behind my memory
How many times I wanted to get somewhere
It was denied to me, I started from scratch
Nobody ever gave me anything
I earned it by hitting and kicking
I was always the weakest in the pack
But also, I was the most stubborn
And had the longest days
I was fourteen when I started
I worked in a store and the money I earned
I invested in buying blank discs and recorded them
And after finishing singing, I gave them away below
I didn't earn a penny for so long
Eight hours traveling to an event
They didn't pay me for expenses, much less
I slept in bus stations, on foreign ground
Years passed and I kept going like this
Many left the game, but I didn't give up
And today see me here, winning what I lost one day
Setting new goals, because I achieved the ones I had
And you who want to pity yourself so they support you
To see with tears, convince if they hear you
Well, fuck you, pathetic piece of shit!
Put some balls into this already, fuck off
Don't look for shortcuts, invest with work
The tree is stronger with roots that grew from below
I don't give up, I don't care about criticism
Especially when it comes from a weak mind
They want to crucify me, talk to show off
That I lost my humility, well I don't want to collaborate with them
They're pure rats, seeking fame in collaboration
First earn respect in your own song
I don't feel superior, but I fought for what's mine
And I promised that my family won't go hungry and cold
I keep working hard until I die
And I know very well what it has cost and I don't give it away to anyone
Own merits, work for it
Put some balls into it, bro
And have patience, it's not a matter of a day or two
And don't worry, it's the best for you
You'll get there if you have to and you'll become strong
You'll be grateful to have gone through what I did
