lyrics

En Vano (In Vain) by Roberto & Danny
(R. Germán, D. Suriel)

1st verse/verso - R:
You had it made
Paid since before 13
On the block hustling serving the fiends
Put a dream team together
Had’em go and make cheddar
Put a bullet in the brain of cop
A goodfella
Hoodfella you’re not
Though your front was hard
Had everybody thinking you were stuntin’ hard
When you stunt on God
And then let your guard down
You get hit from angles to hard over..
Come, come now
Let me give you the rundown
At sundown
Still on the block with a hymn and a hum now
Work round the clock for the glory of the Lord
Hit every street corner with a story and a sword
When the fame rise
Are you looking at it through the same eyes?
Wild donkeys are born tame
When stupid people get wise
Job 11:12
Paraphrase
Might as well
Count your days
Book a one-way
On a plane to hell
The wide gate and easy road
That so many people know
Ray can kill the body
Only God destroys the soul
The wide gate and easy road
That so many people know
Ray can kill the body
Only God destroys the soul
But I’m whole

Chorus/coro (2x) – D & R:
Corillo atra de billete
Tienen amarrao en lo tobillo un grillete
Pongan atención e’to e sencillo mi gente
La riqueza del pecador se amontona para el creyente

2nd verse/verso – D:
Tu ere un preso con teni jordan
Cadena en el pecueso el peso casi te ajorca
Tu ta parao papa ta haciendo torta
Y mientra el tiempo va pasando tu vida mas se acorta

Pero na’ lo tuyo e fuete josiar por dinero
Es logico que pa ganar hay que trabajar primero
Y pa’ trabajar bajo la autoridad de otro hombre
Tu te pone pa lo tuyo vendiendole a lo menore

Tapando bien tus errores detras de una mascarilla
La mafia el leon del barrio el hombre de maravilla
Panita no te sofoque en las llamas leve del bloque
El lago de fuego arde ahi si e que hace calores

La vida es un vapor hoy tu esta luego te esfumas
Asi que no te esmeres en voler el agua en espumas
Por mas que tu te afane y logre en esta era
La proxima vendra donde el rey volvera a la tierra

Chorus/coro
