Caliente [English translation]
Caliente [English translation]
[Verse 1: Kontra K]
On most days I would really like to save the world (really like to)
And on other days see it burn (burn, burn, burn)
How often do I have to save myself?
But I never abandon my people
Stood at the abyss too often
Looking directly into the flames
Too little to survive, too much to die
But too far gone to start all over again
It's called "heads or tails"
Because survival isn't that different from a game of luck
It's not a question of how hard you can strike
But how many hits you can take
If you ever lose face
Or always show some spine
Even if life becomes unfair again
For all your people who stand as one
[Pre-Chorus 1: Kontra K]
So what do you want to take from me?
I've already seen everything
I've given you everything, simply everything
Take my old life with you and go
(Go) And go
But I can still see my reflection
[Chorus: Sleiman]
We smoked the ganja, we shot the gun
We're not like the others, we're caliente
We smoked the ganja, we shot the gun
We're not like the others, we're caliente
[Verse 2: Sleiman]
Fast lanes, Colombians
Heavy smoke, Mo-Mo-Moroccans
The world was ours, Tony Montana
Opened my eyes and put it behind me
Bought dreams that were sold on the block
Bomaye, we fell into traps
From hot streets to cold cells
Far from it, but I'm taking it with me
[Pre-Chorus 2: Sleiman, Kontra K]
I'm paying my debt now
I've already seen everything
Never forget my ghetto
Take my old life with you and then go
I'm paying my debt now
Learnt to stand up for myself now
Never forget my ghetto
Oh, my ghetto
[Chorus: Sleiman]
We smoked the ganja, we shot the gun
We're not like the others, we're caliente
We smoked the ganja, we shot the gun
We're not like the others, we're caliente
[Bridge: Sleiman]
From the block to the top, there's no one who saw that coming
From the bottom to the moon, a nightmare turned into a dream
From the block to the top, we're roses in concrete (We're roses in concrete)
[Pre-Chorus 2: Sleiman, Kontra K]
I'm paying my debt now
I've already seen everything
Never forget my ghetto
Take my old life with you and go
I'm paying my debt now
Learnt to stand up for myself now
Never forget my ghetto
Oh, my ghetto
[Chorus: Sleiman]
We smoked the ganja, we shot the gun
We're not like the others, we're caliente
We smoked the ganja, we shot the gun
We're not like the others, we're caliente
[Outro: Kontra K]
Take my old life with you and go
And go
