Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
I come from behind, I come from below
I have dirty fingernails because I work
I've spent my whole life mixing cement
to keep the gringos content
You don't know everything I harvest
to sleep under a roof
But I'm not weak, I don't stop
Neither did I grow up with powdered milk
I'm a mix of all breeds
Sweet potato, yucca, plantain, yautía, and squash
I don't sell myself even if they pay me
I locked up my pride
and swallowed the key
If I have to fight, well, I fight with a knife,
handgun, even with boxing gloves,
and if I go away wounded, well, what can you do?
To treat the blows, alcohol with iodine
Slum, hamlet, barrio, all the projects
The deformed, outcasts, all the abject ones
Walking firmly, straight, direct
without kneeling, standing strong, erect
We come walking on a very thin rope
But not even kryptonite knocks us down
The President fears us
because the hero of a nation
is the opponent's terrorist
Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
Without looking back, those in back come
Looking forward, those in back come
Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
Listen: Panama, El Chorrillo, and Curundu come with me
Callao in Lima, Peru, also comes with me
From Tijuana to Chiapas
Tepito also comes
In Argentina, Villa 31, Villa Fiorito
Those from Chile, walking with elegance
From Araucanias till Villa Francia
In Puerto Rico, if you don't do it, you have to do it
The people of La Perla also come with me
Villa España, Covadonga Barboza, and Oren
Strong lands, channels, the nuns too
I hope Barrio 13 and 18 join together
Agua Blanca of Cali, Medellín, the majorities
Ciudad Bolívar in Bogotá, which is all there is
Chacarita in Paraguay, Barri Borro in Uruguay
Brazil and all its favelas
Barrio Pintosalinas and January 23 in Venezuela
Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
Without looking back, those in back come
Looking forward, those in back come
Those in back come with me
Those in back come with me
