Y brindo por estar en donde estoy
And I toast for being where I am
No fue nada pelada y no quiero que alguien llegue hoy
It was nothing bare and I don't want anyone to come today
A llevarse lo que con sudor gané
To take away what I earned with sweat
Quitarme lo que poco a poco yo logré
To take away what I gradually achieved
Callados, que ahora a mí me toca hablar
Quiet now, it's my turn to speak
Mucho tuve que aguantar pero el karma pronto llegará
I had to endure a lot but karma will come soon
Uno a uno, yo me los voy a tragar
One by one, I'm going to swallow them up
Se los voy a demostrar
I'm going to show them
Y, para qué hacen tanto pedo
And, why make such a fuss
Si ustedes nunca creyeron que yo iba a sobresalir
If you never believed I would stand out
Y ahora miran el esfuerzo
And now you see the effort
Y quieren quitarme el puesto que luché pa' conseguir
And you want to take away the place I fought to achieve
Ya se les acabó el juego, mil mamadas que hicieron
The game is over for you, all the nonsense you made
Ya no podrán detenernos
You will no longer be able to stop us
Poco a poco seguiremos avanzando
Little by little we will keep advancing
Brindo por donde he llegado y por lo que me ha costado
I toast for where I've arrived and for what it has cost me
Agárranse que traigo mi trono y en la cima lo pondré
Hold on tight because I'm bringing my throne and I'll put it at the top
Y lo van a ver
And you will see it
Tantos fueron los que me tiraron por intentarme vencer
So many were the ones who tried to bring me down to defeat me
Y sigo de pie
And I'm still standing
Con esto más bocas cerraré
With this, I will close more mouths
No me callaré
I will not be silenced
Sin robarle a nadie lo logré
Without stealing from anyone, I achieved it
Yo sí le chingué, eh-eh-eh, eh
I truly worked hard, eh-eh-eh, eh
Algo que no puedo comprender
Something I can't understand
Como me quisieron ya, la vez abajo me querían ver
How they wanted me down, they wanted to see me below
El mundo gira y la moneda también
The world spins and the coin too
De arriba los miraré
I will look down on them
Conmigo nomás los de mi clika, no mucha bola, compa'
With me, only my crew, not too many people, buddy
Que de boca en boca luego hay
Because from mouth to mouth, later there are
Rumores que la gente suele hacer
Rumors that people love to make
Ninguno me va poder
No one will be able to stop me
Ya se les acabó el juego, mil mamadas que hicieron
The game is over for you, all the nonsense you made
Ya no podrán detenernos
You will no longer be able to stop us
Poco a poco seguiremos avanzando
Little by little we will keep advancing
Brindo por donde he llegado y por lo que me ha costado
I toast for where I've arrived and for what it has cost me
Sigan de mí mal hablando que en la cima yo aquí estoy muy bien
Keep talking bad about me because I'm doing very well at the top
Y lo pueden ver
And you can see it
Tantos fueron los que me tiraron por intentarme vencer
So many were the ones who tried to bring me down to defeat me
Y sigo de pie
And I'm still standing
Con esto más bocas cerraré
With this, I will close more mouths
No me callaré
I will not be silenced
Sin robarle a nadie lo logré
Without stealing from anyone, I achieved it
Firme seguiré, eh, eh-eh-eh-eh
I will stand firm, eh, eh-eh-eh-eh
