La Factura Lyrics English Translation by Natanael Cano
But life cost me more than I expected
And here I was thinking I wouldn’t make it
I’ve gained so much, I owe so much in return
I get goosebumps just thinking about it
And there’s been obstacles, but I keep pushing forward
Turns out I’m good at making money
I ask forgiveness from the man above
For living the life I wanted
I got connections that make me stronger
Life is hard, but I keep moving forward
They see me young, but I got sharp teeth
A lot of people have labeled me a criminal
They came up to me and said face to face
“Take what you want, don’t worry about anything”
In the end, it’s just the bill
That’s where they check in when they’re getting healed
Ea
Well connected, compadre
Uy
Actions speak louder than a thousand words
But I stay careful, I don’t trust anything
That’s why I carry a pistol on my side
I stay sharp in case something goes wrong
I hit the straight on a quarter mile
Pedal to the floor with the adrenaline
In my mind just feeling the pounds
And all messed up on cocaine
I stay humble, feet on the ground
25 and counting strong
And even if I owe, I’m not scared anymore
Around 27, that’s where I’ll settle down
You only live once, so I take the leap
Take what you want, don’t worry about anything
In the end, it’s just the bill
That’s where they check in when they’re getting healed
