El Chore Lyrics English Translation by Junior H
[Gael Valenzuela & Junior H]
Sorry for the scars all over my body
They show what I’ve got going on inside me
I started slipping into the street life
And I picked up game from the cholos’ vibe
Their tricks, and yeah, the ***
I was smoking all week, no drama
Fifteen, already chasing that money
Riding my bike like a kid in a hurry
[Gael Valenzuela & Junior H]
Handing out little baggies, step by step I grew
In the hood they started calling me “El Chore” too
Always down for the ones who were there since we were kids
And I’m sorry to my parents for everything I did
I didn’t want to go to school, it was never my thing
I’d rather be out messing around with my whole gang
I didn’t care if my mom worried ‘bout where I’d been
Now I see all the pain I caused—and yeah, I regret it
But I did it all for her, so she’d never go without
And now that life’s flipped around, she’s got what she once dreamed about
[Junior H & Gael Valenzuela]
¡Uh!
There you go, compa Gael
Just like that, compa Junior
Puro $ad Boyz, viejo
[Junior H & Gael Valenzuela]
I’ve always kept it real with people
Even if I’ve only got a few close amigos
And if someone says I’m full of ego
It’s ‘cause they don’t know me, that’s for real though
Now I dress a little different, yeah
Now I stand out everywhere
But money never changed who I am
Still the same me since way back then
[Junior H & Gael Valenzuela]
Handing out little baggies, step by step I grew
In the hood they started calling me “El Chore” too
Always down for the ones who were there since we were kids
And I’m sorry to my parents for everything I did
I didn’t want to go to school, it was never my thing
I’d rather be out messing around with my whole gang
I didn’t care if my mom worried ‘bout where I’d been
Now I see all the pain I caused—and yeah, I regret it
But I did it all for her, so she’d never go without
And now that life’s flipped around, she’s got what she once dreamed about
