Shelby Lyrics in English by Gera MX, Jayrick
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Shelby by Gera MX from Spanish to English.
¿Podría fumar un cigarrillo? Fuma
Could I smoke a cigarette? Smoke
Estuve tan cerca de hacerlo
I was so close to doing it
Estuve tan cerca, ¡que casi me quedo con todo!
I was so close, that I almost took it all!
Estoy encerrado, me da vuelta la cabeza
I'm locked up, my head is spinning
Tengo dos pistolas y el cora roto en la mesa
I have two guns and my broken heart on the table
Una conciencia obscura que me abraza y que me reza
A dark conscience that hugs me and prays for me
Algunos pecados que hasta la fecha me pesan, no
Some sins that to this day weigh on me, no
Tengo todo mi sueño en la empresa
I have my whole dream in the company
Salgo de noche a brillar mientras que la fama me pesa
I go out at night to shine while fame weighs on me
Ahora me sirven champaña, antes ni cerveza
Now they serve me champagne, before not even beer
Tu crush del Instagram, en mi casa tengo dos de esas
Your Instagram crush, in my crib I have two of those
Cereza del pastel, así me dirán, Daniel
Cherry on the cake, that's what they'll call me, Daniel
Traigo una pluma de wax y en mi libreta pura miel
I carry a wax pen and pure honey in my notebook
Soy escultor sin cincel, un poeta sin su musa
I'm a sculptor without a chisel, a poet without his muse
Van a aprender de respeto cuando la línea se cruza
They're gonna learn respect when the line gets crossed
Los niños de mi colonia juegan la ruleta rusa
The kids from my hood play Russian roulette
Pues el hambre mata igual, pero aquí nadie la acusa
'Cause hunger kills just the same, but here nobody blames it
Tengo más cosas que decir y por pensar
I have more things to say and to think about
Y dejar algo claro que no va a pasar
And make something clear that won't ever happen
Va a aceptar que yo nunca me supe dejar
He'll accept that I never let myself get pushed around
Hoy que lloren en tu casa, en la mía nadie va a llorar
Today let them cry at your crib, at mine nobody will cry
Mi persona si es auténtica, no traigo su disfraz
My persona is authentic, I don't wear their disguise
Mi cartera es egocéntrica, pero pues yo jamás
My wallet is self-centered, but me, never
Mi familia no es los Shelby, pero me siento Thomas
My family isn't the Shelbys, but I feel like Thomas
Dale un jalón a mi hierba, vas a sentir que vuelas
Take a hit of my weed, you're gonna feel like you fly
El real no está en tu boda, pero si en tu funeral
The real one isn't at your wedding, but he is at your funeral
(A-a-ah, ah, ah)
(A-a-ah, ah, ah)
Estás jugando a escondidas, desde niño no te encuentro
You're playing hide and seek, since we were kids I can't find you
(-tro, no te encuentro, -tro, -tro)
(-nd you, I can't find you, -nd you, -nd you)
De arriba manipulan, no quieren independientes
From the top they manipulate, they don't want independents
(Independientes, -tes)
(Independents, -ents)
Maldita droga, regrésame a mis amigos
D*mn drug, give me back my friends
(-go-go-go', regrésame a mis amigos, -go-go-go')
(-ends-ends-ends, give me back my friends, -ends-ends-ends)
Ah, mira cómo retumba este bajo
Ah, look how this bass rumbles
Aprieta el pantalón, no se me va a caer el fajo
Tighten the pants, my wad of cash won't drop
La corriente me arrastró, mira pa' dónde me trajo
The current swept me, look where it brought me
El cheque llega puntual y este nivel no lo bajo
The check arrives on time and this level I won't drop
De enero hasta diciembre me la paso en el trabajo
From January to December I spend it working
Hoy gano lo que soñaba, si me tiran, ¿qué carajos?
Today I earn what I dreamed of, if they hate on me, what the f*ck?
Las redes no son lo mío, pero, raza, no me rajo
Social media isn't my thing, but, folks, I don't back down
Simplemente en la farándula siento que yo no encajo
I just feel like in show business I don't fit
Andan comiendo peyote, todos repartan gajos
They're eating peyote, everyone pass out slices
Tuve que vivirlo todo sin tomar algún atajo
I had to live it all without taking any shortcut
Me miran todo estresado, no me relajo
They see me stressed out, I don't relax
Mi mente concentrada, la fortuna fue y la trajo
My mind focused, went and brought the fortune back
Dile que no bailo salsa, pero la escucho fumando
Tell her I don't dance salsa, but I listen to it smoking
Dile que soy caballero, por si riesgo anda buscando
Tell her I'm a gentleman, in case she's looking for danger
Dile que yo no soy nadie pa'l que ande preguntando
Tell them I'm nobody to whoever comes asking
Total mi cartera trae costumbre de dejarte hablando solo
Whatever, my wallet is used to leaving you talking to yourself
Cambia de tono, disfruta el bombo
Change your tone, enjoy the bass drum
De morro a las tortillas, por eso me sé los combos de esta vida
Since a kid running errands, that's why I know life's combos
Qué loca vida, va de subida
What a crazy life, it's on the rise
Aprende que los envidiosos no llegan arriba
Learn that envious people don't reach the top
Y no hablo de los premios, regrésate al suelo
And I'm not talking 'bout awards, get back to the ground
Te hablo del segundo plano cuando viajemos al cielo
I'm talking 'bout the second plane when we journey to heaven
Me buscan duelo, yo whisky y hielo
They seek a duel with me, me whisky and ice
Causo puro malestar, por eso les traje Melox
I cause pure discomfort, that's why I brought them Maalox
Véelos, están todos hambrientos en la fila
Look at them, they're all hungry in line
Yo rockeando en un teatro aventando mis tenis Fila
Me rocking in a theater throwing my Fila sneakers
De colección, es mi conexión
Collector's item, it's my connection
A mí no me prestes nada, bueno, sí, sólo la atención
Don't lend me anything, well, yeah, just your attention
Que pienso decirles mucho para administrar la tienda
'Cause I plan to tell them a lot to run the shop
Yo busco ser leyenda, no quien más caro me venda
I seek to be a legend, not the one who sells me highest
Espero dejar mensaje y que por lo menos me entiendan
I hope to leave a message and that at least they understand me
Piensa bien lo que dirás o puede que te arrepientas
Think well about what you'll say or you might regret it
El real no está en tu boda, pero si en tu funeral
The real one isn't at your wedding, but he is at your funeral
(A-a-ah, ah, ah)
(A-a-ah, ah, ah)
Estás jugando a escondidas, desde niño no te encuentro
You're playing hide and seek, since we were kids I can't find you
(-tro, no te encuentro, -tro, -tro)
(-nd you, I can't find you, -nd you, -nd you)
De arriba manipulan, no quieren independientes
From the top they manipulate, they don't want independents
(Independientes, -tes)
(Independents, -ents)
Maldita droga, regrésame a mis amigos
D*mn drug, give me back my friends
(-go-go-go', regrésame a mis amigos, -go-go-go')
(-ends-ends-ends, give me back my friends, -ends-ends-ends)
