El Dolor Del Micro
Julieta Venegas
The Pain of the Microphone
The Pain of the Microphone
I remember walking through the streets of the neighborhoods being pointed at,
he's all tattooed,
he doesn't work and he's lazy, of course I work and I started from the bottom,
writing in my notebook what life brought me,
it would be easy for me,
just to write about amazing rhymes,
to boast that I have a flow that conquers goddesses,
that I'm the best M'c of course, for real,
that's a piece of cake, those rhymes to say,
I throw them in a joint to laugh with my friends,
so there can be peace,
first there must be war,
I hope it's clear to you
before opening your damn mouth you son of a bitch I had to hit it hard
to sit on this throne and I will defend it with my life,
with my rhymes and with what spits lead
(Chorus:)
The pain of the microphone,
is in the lies
sowing the wounds,
let the lead guess who lied (x2)
From a united family but with a wounded soul,
I just want to secure my girl,
that she lacks nothing,
the rest no longer matters to me,
I defend what I have like the drug dealers their drugs,
when something is taken from you it's because you don't defend it
and this is all I have,
I don't know if you understand me,
it won't be very easy for me to hand it to you on a silver platter,
before that happens you have to knock down the babo.
And all those who always go to the front,
those dogs that don't bark, only bite,
you see me and you think it's pure fantasy,
and right away you bow down.
(Chorus:)
Fortunately,
I defend what I have to death,
you don't get where I am by being a coward,
I learned it from my buddies,
from my parents and from the whole family that supports me in the streets,
if you don't know me, shut up,
don't cross the line, I have plenty of guts,
and all those you see around me are the ones who don't know how to deal with flaws,
if I'm where I am it's for a reason,
and I'm worth what I'm worth,
and yet they keep doubting it,
and I'm waiting for any idiot who wants to test it,
here comes the one who wants to, and my pride doesn't end even when I die (aha)
Better walk carefully,
I won't stop until I achieve what I've dreamed of!
