Yo here we go cause I know that y’all been waiting for this /
Yeah rip the plastic off bastards, go ahead start hating on it /
critics start debating on it, cause labels been faking on him /
ain’t no mistake, what’s at stake is everything is everything I’m banking on /
and I could give a fuck what you people think, thank my people for this /
they the ones came and told me, “Santos yo go get this for us/
‘cause no one repping for us the way you can wreck it for us /
get up out there and show them those El Sal. caliche meta – for us /
so this goes out pa’ la mai’tra up on that corner /
vendiendo tortillas hoping she get her daughters to college /
working three jobs, but the government wanna deport her /
send her back to a country this government fucked up for her? /
I know it’s troubling and I ain’t one to ignore it /
I’m trying to build us up something so we can live in accordance ‘cause /
The way the media portray us is straight deploring /
Like we invaded this country coming in to free load ‘em /
We not just thieves and murderers, and we not just pimps and hustlers /
We tios, tias, abuelas, sisters, and brothers /
Haciendo el cuchubal, and trying to bring over another /
Dawg they killing us softly, look what they did with the dollar /
Look what they doing at the border, hell no this shit isn’t over /
Here to lift up my people, I carry this on my shoulders /
Listo a cachimbear a cualquier persona en contra /
Check it out I’m ‘bouta show you suckers what El Salvador is /
SOMOS!, Un pueblo lleno de gente sobreviviente /
Y los bichos de ocho años andan cargados con nueves, pa! /
Las piratas allí en el centro ha, nadie los mueve /
Ni el poli, poli ni Tony, ni garrotazos a los dientes /
Ciento cuarenta y cinco al mes no es suficiente /
Quien te dijo que eso es vida papa? Que ténes en mente? /
En la tierra del aguardiente, donde hijos de puta te mienten /
Generales y tenientes, los medios, y el presidente /
Y es precisamente por eso que sigo escupiendo /
Para enseñar al mundo entero el talento en mi pueblo /
Y los lamentos de mis duelos /
Por eso escribo este himno /
Esto es José Cortez zampando el gol en el partido /
Esto es Roque Dalton sacando su primer libro /
Esto es Christopher Delgado cerote, el primer grindillo /
Esto es mi destino y camino aun que te duele /
Se que algunos de uds. aquí no quieren al chele /
Aparentan y ni hablan Guanaco como se debe /
De que puta orgullo hablas? Nadie te entiende /
Asi que, que se partan todos de aquí, esto es mi esquina /
Ando parado con mis brazos cruzados y en mis ginas /
Ha llegado mi tiempo, JALU! Vete en tu ida /
Y ahora empezamos con esto, SALVA-VIDA /
