El Traqueto

Bought myself a car and painted the house a new color
In the neighborhood, they're saying I'm up to some shady business
But what they don't know is that I always keep busy
Because everyone who lent me money is asking for it back
On the street, they're saying I'm up to some shady business
And they keep on talking

I keep on hustling, hustling, hustling
And they don't know it's the banks that are lending me
I keep on hustling, hustling, hustling
And at the corner store, I keep running a tab
I keep on hustling, hustling, hustling
The water delivery guy is knocking on my door
I keep on hustling, hustling, hustling
Tell him I'm not here, that I'm traveling

I have connections in Miami, over in the USA
And they see me working hard, making money
The women say I'm their trophy
So young and with money, it doesn't matter if I'm ugly
I just see their attitude
They're looking for a sugar daddy because times are tough
Someone to give them a new car and a chihuahua
Someone to pay their electricity and water bills

I keep on hustling, hustling, hustling
And they don't know it's the banks that are lending me
I keep on hustling, hustling, hustling
And at the corner store, I keep running a tab
I keep on hustling, hustling, hustling
The water delivery guy is knocking on my door
I keep on hustling, hustling, hustling
Tell him I'm not here, that I'm traveling

They're making up stories that there's a stash of money in my house
If they talk like that, they'll regret it
They're also saying I'm a mobster
Because I party hard and enjoy life
They think I came from nothing
But that's not the case, I'm overflowing
I'm the same as before, but more flavorful
Because I work hard to live in luxury

Don't mess with me
Stop criticizing, damn it
Don't mess with me
I have to fight, damn it
Don't mess with me
I have to work, damn it
Don't mess with me
To be where I am, damn it

Don't mess with me
Stop criticizing
Don't mess with me
There's a lot of other people's lives around here
Don't mess with me
There's a lot of other people's lives over there
Don't mess with me
They never get tired of criticizing
