Mi Barrio

This goes out to all the neighborhoods in Mexico City, State of Mexico
And the rest of the world (brr, amen), prr
But especially for Neza, Ecatepec, Tepito, la Morelos, Iztapalapa (yeah, ah)
It says, brr

The neighborhood is the neighborhood, how I love it
But dreams are outside of it
The road is long and if you dream of something
First, you gotta believe in yourself
I walked through my neighborhood and remembered
How I started, how I did it
I suffered, but I held on tight

How I miss my neighborhood
The neighborhood where I grew up
I didn't realize I was happy
Proud of where I came from
In my neighborhood, you’re born tough
The neighborhood makes you a warrior
In RD, it’s the block, in PR it’s the hustle
From Mexico, it’s the neighborhood, the neighborhood
We grind hard to make a living and eat
Everyone knows that the neighborhood is the neighborhood
Before heading out, we pray with faith, with faith
You might leave the neighborhood, but a wise man said
That the neighborhood will never leave you
Hustling every day, the pay is low
That’s the real deal, that’s where I grew up
I just want to move forward
Help out the whole family
That’s why I’m hustling hard for some cash
To be able to eat and survive
In the neighborhood, I realized I was adding up little by little
I dreamed all this, the hit, the money, the fame
Everyone knows I came from nothing
I realized that if I didn’t put in the work for myself, nothing would happen
I wanted to roll in style and have the family shining
Dear one, I stop in CDMX and the State
There’s no fool who doesn’t shine, with God by my side
I am a star, that’s already proven
Watch out, the streets are rough, bad company
Are no good, watch out, they’ll pull you in
Watch out for the vices, betrayals
So much envy, bullets rain down
Value your life, because it’s borrowed
You only get one life, you don’t know about tomorrow
Value your freedom, because if not, you’ll learn the hard way
I’m from the neighborhood of Neza, not from Condesa
You’re born tough by nature
The best advice I can give you
Is to stay on the right path
Chase your dreams, reap the good
Remember it’s not the end of the arrow
I want everyone who hears this song
To get motivated, inspired, and have health and beauty
And I’m always grinding, hustling, working
I’m always laboring, generating
I’m always on the move, I’m always on the move, woah, oh, oh, oh

How I miss my neighborhood
The neighborhood where I grew up
I didn't realize I was happy
Proud of where I came from
In my neighborhood, you’re born tough
The neighborhood makes you a warrior
In RD, it’s the block, in PR it’s the hustle
From Mexico, it’s the neighborhood, the neighborhood
We grind hard to make a living and eat
Everyone knows that the neighborhood is the neighborhood
Before heading out, we pray with faith, with faith, eh, eh
