Benito, son of Benito, they called him "Tito"
The oldest of six, working since he was a kid
Driving trucks like his dad and grandfather
Even though his dream was always to be an engineer
One day, Tonito invited him to help with a move
To earn a little something, a few bucks to get by
Thank God he wasn't busy that day
'Cause during that move, he met Lysi
The youngest of three, raised by Doña Juanita
Since her mom and dad passed away when she was little
She promised to graduate before getting married, and she kept her word
In December of '92, she married Tito
Before moving to Almirante where they met
They lived in Morovis where they had their son
Who they saw for the first time in Bayamón
A round of applause for mom and dad 'cause they really nailed it
Mm
Eh-ah, damn
Rumba
Thanks, mommy, for giving birth to me here, he, hey
The best of the new 'cause I grew up with the old
Thanks to mommy and daddy for all the ear-pulling lessons
You've never seen me on the streets or on podcasts complaining
They try to test their strength, but they can't, not even as a pair
Calle Sol, Calle Luna, I'm out in the dark nights
I don't sing reggae, but I'm culture
From Borinquen, Puerto Rico, the Perfect Archipelago
The whole world already knows my dialect, my slang
I don't give a damn about what doesn't matter to you
Here, people were killed for raising the flag
That's why I carry it everywhere, man, what's up? (Ha)
If I die tomorrow, I hope they never forget my face
And that they play one of my songs the day they bring another
With the light-blue flag on my coffin
And hope they remember it was always me, it was always Benito
Doing it better than me? You're crazy
Nah, man, you're crazy
Whatever you say, I don't care
They love me like Tito and I'm serious as Cotto
Lugia, Ho-Oh, man, I'm legendary
I go hard with guts and courage
A millionaire without ever leaving the hood, just so you know
No one'll kick me out of here, I'm not going anywhere
Tell them this is my home where my grandfather was born
No one'll kick me out of here, I'm not going anywhere
Tell them this is my home where my grandfather was born
I'm from Puerto fucking Rico (Ah, oh; tell 'em, Diego, tell 'em)
I'm from Puerto fucking Rico (Come on, let's see, bring it here, hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'm from Puerto fucking Rico (Oh, come on, come on, come on)
I'm from Puerto fucking Rico (Long live!)
