Como mujer

1996, programmed to kill!

As a woman I decided
To sing to the world that wants to hear me here
And to anyone who talks about The Queen
With a simple message, I want to tell them

It's not easy, to get on stage and comment on what's happening
When one rolls from house to house
Your best friends close the door on you
Those who were always with you
He told you he loved you, cheated on you, and left
Your brother's locked-up in prison
And your mother's divorced
Home of tears, and also of pain
So, tell me if I only sing for money
I sing to the friction that I carry in my chest
Forgetting my people and my family
Waking and sleeping without food
And they shout, Girl!, if they see me on the street
If I sweat for what's mine, I'll show it off and let them talk
I was born to sing and wear the crown
My people herald me as their champion

As a woman I decided
To sing to the world that wants to hear me here
And to anyone who talks about The Queen
With a simple message, I want to tell them

Being a target of the police and their injustice
Being confined without malice
To be taken out of school without finishing
To raise your own siblings

If you fight for something they'll always envy you
When you're up, they'll wish for your downfall
If you have lovers, someone will come up with something
That's why you shout loudly that you're going to do you

If you fight for something, they'll always envy you
When you're up, they'll wish for your downfall
If you have lovers, someone will come up with something
Woman, that's right, you know! The Queen says it

Let he who is going to judge measure his rod
Since coins have two faces
Today you have everything, and tomorrow, you lack it
Maybe you'll never wake up while you're asleep
To sing a song
You have to feel it in your heart
The one who writes it is not called a singer
He who lives it is called a singer
If you have the gift, Daddy decides
God welcomes everyone into his kingdom
Coming again for you
Very wicked, wicked, to my Puerto Rican boys
If you like the rewind, select it, I'm coming

If you fight for something, they'll always envy you
When you're up, they'll wish for your downfall
If you have lovers, someone will come up with something
That's why you shout loudly that you are going to do you

As a woman I decided
To sing to the world that wants to hear me here
And to anyone who talks about The Queen
With a simple message, I want to tell them

In my empire, I rule
They know that The Queen is in control
When you feel a mission in your heart
Hit rewind, listen to my song
Once again, don't move, so

If you fight for something, they'll always envy you
When you're up, they'll wish for your downfall
If you have lovers, someone will come up with something
That's why you shout loudly that you are going to do you

If you fight for something, they'll always envy you
When you're up, they'll wish for your downfall
If you have lovers, someone will come up with something
Woman, that's right, you know, La Queen says it
So

This, follow me, me say
So

I-mini-mighty-mighty, Dimini-mighty-mighty-moi
I-mini-mighty-mighty, Dimini-mighty-mighty-moi
I-mini-mighty-mighty, Dimini-mighty-mighty-moi
So all the little ladies, here I go

As a woman I decided
To sing to the world that wants to hear me here
And to anyone who talks about The Queen
With a simple message, I want to tell them

And you shout girl! If you see me on the street
If I sweat for what's mine, I'll show it off and let them talk
I was born to sing and wear the crown
My people herald me as their champion

As a woman I decided
To sing to the world that wants to hear me here
And to anyone who talks about The Queen
With a simple message, I want to tell them
