Mi barrio siempre se aguanta
Mi gente no se quebranta
Al mal siempre se le planta
Aunque tengan miedo ninguno se espanta
Siempre llueve y no escampa
Los enemies tienden las trampas
Rompiendo barreras
En todas las fronteras
Mi pueblo siempre se levanta
We get up to the crack of dawn
To go working
Im a blue collar
And still my skin is burning
Im slaving away
Until my hands are hurting
All for my children
To get learning
I dont mind working too long
To get the job done
Siempre Latino
Hardworker to the bones
My family is with me
I can never feel alone
Saldremos adelante
I'm never gonna give up
Venimos de la tierra
El sol en la carretera
Sentados esperamos
Aunque la noche no espera
Pensamos en el futuro
Aunque todo lejos se vea
No importa la tempestad
Nosotros haremos lo que sea
Aunque aveces no alcanza
Y miramos con desconfianza
Always tengo la esperanza
De que mi raza siempre avanza
Mi barrio siempre se aguanta
Mi gente no se quebranta
Al mal siempre se le planta
Aunque tengan miedo ninguno se espanta
Siempre llueve y no escampa
Los enemies tienden las trampas
Rompiendo barreras
En todas las fronteras
Mi pueblo siempre se levanta
Nada nos detendrá
Cause I will win
Don't fight over the ring
Im the real king
No me rajo mi compa
Always having my back
This life is tough
Watch your neck on the track
Im feeling the power
Coursing into my veins
Spitting rhymes on the mic
Burns you head like its flames
Don't worry
All the barrio has got you cover
They're not gonna quit
Until its over
Mi barrio siempre se aguanta
Mi gente no se quebranta
Al mal siempre se le planta

My neighborhood always stands strong
My people don't break
We stand up to evil
Even if they're afraid, none are frightened
It always rains and doesn't dry up
Enemies set traps
Breaking barriers
In all frontiers
My people always rise
We get up at the crack of dawn
To go working
I'm a blue-collar worker
And still, my skin burns
I slave away
Until my hands hurt
All for my children
To get an education
I don't mind working too long
To get the job done
Always Latino
Hard worker to the bones
My family is with me
I can never feel alone
We'll move forward
I'm never gonna give up
We come from the land
The sun on the road
We sit and wait
Even though the night doesn't wait
We think about the future
Even though everything seems far away
No matter the storm
We'll do whatever it takes
Even if sometimes it's not enough
And we look with distrust
I always have hope
That my people always advances
Nothing will stop us
Cause I will win
Don't fight over the ring
I'm the real king
I won't give up, my friend
Always having my back
This life is tough
Watch your back on the track
I'm feeling the power
Flowing through my veins

Verde, blanco y rojo los colores
De aquella bandera que me vio crecer
Un águila devora serpiente pa' poner en alto
Y se vea quién es quién
Verde, blanco y rojo los colores
De aquella bandera que me vio crecer
Un águila devora serpiente pa' poner en alto
Y se vea quién es quién
Siempre le chingamos todos
De poco a poquito pa' salir a delante
Crecimos con la rayuela, jugando al trompo
Y viendo Pedro infante
Aquí a nadie le faltaron huevos
Pa' siempre jalarle todo el día
En mi país no caben pretextos
Primero la patria y la familia
Esta va para toda mi gente
Orgullosa de ser Mexicana
De siempre levantar la bandera
Y por colorearse siempre de verde, blanco y rojo
Y vámonos con todo
¡Viva México!
Verde, blanco y rojo los colores
De aquella bandera que me vio crecer
Un águila devora serpiente pa' poner en alto
Y se vea quién es quién
Verde, blanco y rojo los colores
De aquella bandera que me vio crecer
Un águila devora serpiente pa' poner en alto
Y se vea quién es quién
Con un tequila en la mesa
Voy disfrutando de la vida
Con mis amigos y cerveza
Buena vida bien vivida
Tenemos buenas mujeres
La mejor comida
Y las playas también
Llenos de cultura siempre
Día de muertos
Mariachi pa' amanecer
Los murales coloridos
De Diego Rivera se ven florecer
El arte de Frida Kahlo
A los alebrijes, la gente también
Somos gente chambeadora
Y con ganas siempre de sobresalir
Por México yo doy todo
Sabes no me rajo doy todo por ti
Verde, blanco y rojo los colores
De aquella bandera que me vio crecer
Un águila devora serpiente pa' poner en alto
Y se vea quién es quién
Verde, blanco y rojo los colores
De aquella bandera que me vio crecer
Un águila devora serpiente pa' poner en alto
Y se vea quién es quién

Of that flag that saw me grow up
An eagle devours a snake to rise up high
And show who's who
We always give it our all
Little by little to move forward
We grew up with hopscotch, spinning tops
And watching Pedro Infante
Here, nobody lacked courage
To work hard all day long
In my country, there are no excuses
First the homeland and the family
This is for all my people
Proud to be Mexican
Always raising the flag
And always coloring themselves with green, white, and red
Let's go for it all
Long live Mexico!
Green, white, and red are the colors
Of that flag that saw me grow up
An eagle devours a snake to rise up high
And show who's who
Green, white, and red are the colors
Of that flag that saw me grow up
An eagle devours a snake to rise up high
And show who's who
With a tequila on the table
I'm enjoying life
With my friends and beer
Good life well lived
We have good women
The best food
And also beaches
Full of culture always
Day of the Dead
Mariachi to welcome the dawn
The colorful murals
Of Diego Rivera flourish
Frida Kahlo's art
To the alebrijes, people too
We are hardworking people
And always eager to excel
For Mexico, I give everything
You know I don't give up, I'd give everything for you
Green, white, and red are the colors
Of that flag that saw me grow up
An eagle devours a snake to rise up high
And show who's who
Green, white, and red are the colors
Of that flag that saw me grow up

Everybody get low
We got the sauce
From the east to the west
We are blasting on the coast
Drifting the impala low rider
Mis hermanos quemando dentro e' la traila
Keeping it up
Mis compas y mis hommies no fallan
Always ready pa' la batalla
Full energy on the mic try it out
No te alcanza
Con el flow de mi barrio no hay tranza
Riding on the bike con los vatos en la acera
4 pretty girls manejando un panamera
Los primos try the rizz on the chicks
Quien pudiera
Pero como Sammy Sosa los batearon para afuera
Hacemos lo quiera pero con lo que se pueda
Vida sin complicaciones esa es nuestra manera
Sonreímos siempre donde quiera y como quiera
La familia y los amigos esa es nuestra bandera
I'm feeling like im flying
Rhyming at my desire
Por mi barrio siempre fighting
Rápido como lightning
In the streets im surviving
While I'm rapping
About rising
I'm the best no pretend I'm on fire

Ando con mi clicka making plans
The radio is exploding and the DJ play my tracks
Maybe one day we are making racks
Pero ahora no me importa todo lo hago por mis fans
My mama told me one day
Mijo se que triunfarás
Se que triunfarás
Se que triunfarás
Theres no chance to me
To pick the wrong way

Riding on the bike with the guys on the sidewalk
Four pretty girls driving a Panamera
The cousins try the rizz on the chicks
Who could
But like Sammy Sosa, they batted them out
We do what we want but with what we can
Life without complications, that's our way
We smile always, wherever and however
Family and friends, that's our flag
I'm feeling like I'm flying
Rhyming at my desire
For my neighborhood, always fighting

Somos indetenibles
We won't stop
We won't stop
We won't stop
En mis venas va corriendo toda el agua del caribe
Me pongo la 10 on my way to work
Mamá is calling me mijo la bendición
Prepárese bien, póngase el cinturón
Si se pone difícil meta el corazón
Aunque a veces sienta que no puedo
Y pase mil noches en vigilia
Nunca jamás retrocedo
Lo hago siempre con insignia
Aunque me duela no me importa un bledo
Lucho por los que amo y mi familia es mi credo
Miramos a todos lados antes de cruzar los ríos
Miramos hacia el futuro el resto quedó en olvido
Miramos hacia a los cielos aunque éste no sea el mío
Miramos hacia adelante
Living working while I'm dreaming out of here
Keep it forward towards to leave the streets
Always worried of one day I'll be defeat
But I'm not giving up so you better take a seat
Esta cañon estos días pa' poder salir de abajo
Ándale sígame no andes cabizbajo
No me importa donde sea, en donde quiera no me rajo
Porque yo lograré que rapear sea mi trabajo
I'll always be the best
Ando rapeando like beast
In this league you're a guest
In the game you're the least
No manches me siento elevado
Siempre lo había buscado
Poder clamar mis poemas
Y ser el mas escuchado
Ver a mamá en la madrugada cocinando la comida
A papá preparando su salida
Pa' salirle al trabajo
Siempre rápido, sin tomar atajos
Pa' que sus hijos
Nunca lleguen a pasar trabajo
Recuerdos llorando en la esquina de mi litera
Se acostaban sin cenar para que yo comiera
Cantaré hasta lograrlo, buscaré la manera
Yo sé que lo lograré por que es que
Somos indetenibles
We won't stop
We won't stop
We won't stop
De la noche a la mañana trabajando es que se vive

We are unstoppable

In my veins flows all the water of the Caribbean
I put on the 10 on my way to work
Mom is calling me, son, receive the blessing
Prepare yourself well, put on your belt
If it gets tough, put your heart in it
Even though sometimes I feel like I can't
And spend a thousand nights awake
Never ever do I step back
I always do it with pride
Even if it hurts, I don't give a damn
I fight for the ones I love, and my family is my creed
We look both ways before crossing the rivers
We look towards the future, the rest is forgotten
We look towards the skies even if it's not ours
We look forward
Living working while I'm dreaming out of here
Keep moving forward towards leaving the streets
Always worried that one day I'll be defeated
But I'm not giving up, so you better take a seat
These days are tough to get out of the bottom
Come on, follow me, don't walk with your head down
I don't care where, I won't give up anywhere
Because I will make rapping my job
I'll always be the best
Rapping like a beast
In this league, you're a guest
In the game, you're the least
No way, I feel elevated
I've always sought it
To be able to proclaim my poems
And be the most listened to
Seeing mom in the early morning cooking food
Dad getting ready to leave
To go to work
Always quickly, without taking shortcuts
So that their children
Never have to struggle
Memories crying in the corner of my bunk bed
They went to bed without dinner so that I could eat
I'll sing until I achieve it, I'll find a way
I know I'll make it because
We are unstoppable
We won't stop
We won't stop
We won't stop
From night to morning, it's working that we live
We are unstoppable
We won't stop
We won't stop
We won't stop
In my veins flows all the water of the Caribbean
We are unstoppable
We won't stop
We won't stop
We won't stop
From night to morning, it's working that we live
We are unstoppable
We won't stop
We won't stop
We won't stop
In my veins flows all the water of the Caribbean
