Eh!

Kas Rules


Yo no rapeo, yo malvivo
Salir de aquí, reunir cobre
Ahorrar pa' jugármela todo a una como en rounders
Con metas grandes, apellido de Conde
Y los huevos más gordos que tu padre
Del barrio a la Forbes
Un día tras otro ciego como Stevie Wonder
Perdí'o como Palmer
Roto como aquel chico del córner
Nos ha comprao' unos focos pa' poner a crecer la verde
Y la puntea pa' sacarse de dentro ese hambre
Estoy llorando como iba a hacer de esto un alarde
Si tengo el jardín seco y ya no crecen flowers
Porque me ha tocao' ser la voz del que no puede hablarte
El responsable de que crean cuando Dios les falte
Sube la cabeza y pa' lante, pa' lante
No hay tiempo pa' esperar a que la tormenta se calme
Ya habrá tiempo pa' hacer el tonto tirao' en el parque
Ahora es hora de buscarse la carne
Wake up niñato!
No he dicho que te lo quedes
He dicho que me lo guardes
Ese trono es mío aunque me vaya de viaje a los Andes
Aunque me metan de condena diez años en la cárcel
El trono es mío y hay que ser yo para sentarse
Yo no le como el culo a artistas de renombre buscando pegarme
Yo tengo al diablo de mi parte
El otro día me encontré a un coleguilla de chico y ahora es un yonki
Iba con un cuchillo y dos cajas de trankis
Con la napia atorá papá, por eso es que ronco
Yo no me coloco duermo a mi demonio
Anoche soñé con un infierno blanco
Paranoia y micro-infarto
Se estrechaban las paredes del cuarto
Mira antes todo brillaba como diamantes
Recuerdo aquellas tardes jugando al fútbol en el Miguel Hernández
Pero ahora to' es distinto
Hay que buscar money
Yo siempre hablo de lo mismo es normal mami
No voy a hablar del gorrión que vuela libre
Cuándo sigo aquí atao' a esta cadena irrompible
De qué va a hablar un preso si no es de barrotes
Y de tener que volverse pa' el chabolo cuando suene el timbre
Soy la moto de agua aparcá en el barrio, el malfario
El novio de la muerte como un legionario
Me entiendes soy el fuckin tiburón en este acuario puta




Yo sigo de pie hasta cuando caigo
Fuck that!
