Tácticas de supervivencia Lyrics English Translation by Nach
I learned to find pleasure when someone talks shit
Not to fall when I was cornered
If they want to kill my essence, I put my survival tactics into practice
I learned what to do when hate watches me
Not to be prey in this jungle
If they want to kill my essence, I put my survival tactics into practice
I learned to laugh when a hater lied
I spit rap on their plate of food
I don’t go to therapy, I self-diagnose
I don’t stick my nose where others leave crumbs
I clean my house from ants and parasites
In a world of trends, I make classics
I always steer clear of the toxic
With a sharp eye, I watch every cynic who has an opinion
When things went wrong, I worked harder
When things went right, I never looked back
They bark behind my back and to my face, I’m their crush
They don’t envy me; they envy my cash
If they criticize me, I write; if they provoke me, I write
That’s how I survive, I don’t fake being conflictive
I live dodging their shots, I look calm and breathe
With words, no man has beaten me
For the commercial rapper, I’m a bacteria
For the material world, I’m antimatter
For the Episcopal priest, I’m a tragedy
This industry is a joke, but my shit’s so serious
I learned to find pleasure when someone talks shit
Not to fall when I was cornered
If they want to kill my essence
I put my survival tactics into practice
I learned what to do when hate watches me
Not to be prey in this jungle
If they want to kill my essence
I put my survival tactics into practice
Survival tactics
The ones I had to use in my childhood and adolescence
At a crossroads of doctrines and beliefs
I learned to trust only my talent and patience
I started rapping listening to G-Unit
That’s how I saved myself from bullying in high school and college
When bad words attacked my self-esteem
Hip hop gave me the reflexes of a fencing competitor
It was my best weapon in this concrete jungle
Where a big percentage, instead of food, eats shit
After years of preparation and hard training
I can rap for hours nonstop at a concert
I lost the last drop of fear and shame
When it became my only option to fill the pantry
Hate doesn’t affect me, and criticism slides off me:
My shell stops them like a bulletproof vest
I built a whole movement with my crew
No heavy machinery, just pick and shovel
Girls always come my way
My competition can’t match me, and my fanbase supports it
I’m peaceful, but if someone messes with my patience
I use my survival tactics
I learned to find pleasure when someone talks shit
Not to fall when I was cornered
If they want to kill my essence
I put my survival tactics into practice
I learned what to do when hate watches me
Not to be prey in this jungle
If they want to kill my essence
I put my survival tactics into practice
