Crecí con Poco English Translation Lyrics by Jarfaiter
Girl, I don’t know what’s gonna become of me
One day I might not have everything you see here
I might go bald and fat like Paquirrín
I hope you don’t leave me even then
I might never have a house with a yard
Might have to sell the car just to get by
A handsome young man with money might show up
And it’s goodbye, c’est la vie, don’t know if I remember you
But there’s always time to get back in the game
To the wild west, hot like a gun flame
We come from the bottom, everything’s under control
Still smiling no matter how tough it gets, though
The streets made me hard as concrete
Hunger scared us more than any prison beat
The neighborhood’s hot like a Molotov cocktail
We never hesitated; we took it all, no detail
And today I’m thankful I grew up with little
‘Cause that’s how I learned to hustle like I’m mental
I live peacefully, even if I lose it all
I know how to make a life, yeah, I have a ball
And today I’m thankful I grew up with little
Proud not to be like all of y’all brittle
Living in a bubble covered in gold
I don’t know what they’ll do when they lose it all
I don’t know what it’s like to get an allowance or have a maid
I know how to wash dishes, kill cockroaches in my way
Grab what you can, split it fair and square
We don’t like the leftists or the right-wing here
Everyone I know’s overworked and burnt out
Or risking their freedom hustling around
Let those judging walk a mile in my shoes
This path wasn’t made for the faint or the fools
Why would they care if you haven’t been paid in months?
You vote for them, and they fly on private jets at once
So many barely living while a few have it all
It’s our time to take apart this messed-up hall
And today I’m thankful I grew up with little
‘Cause that’s how I learned to hustle like I’m mental
I live peacefully, even if I lose it all
I know how to make a life, yeah, I have a ball
And today I’m thankful I grew up with little
Proud not to be like all of y’all brittle
Living in a bubble covered in gold
I don’t know what they’ll do when they lose it all
