¡Pa que tu lo sepas!
Bodega, ghetto gospel word to the wise.
El incorregible is his name,
justicia by any means his claim to fame!
On the corner
Títere sees past broad blocks
sipping bochinche
making sense out of disorder
sensing pain pouring
compassion into poor hearts
growing flowers out of asphalt.
Indeed, Títere grieves!
Speaking righteous
curandero lingo
¡Que lindo!
Rebuking bad intentions
with single glare.
!No jodas, que te doy una bofetada bien da!

Why would a Titere live forever?
To us family equals Tribu
how cleaver
loyalty is rebelling against oppressor,
Is code, is close to home.
You should know
uncontained fury
can be explained!
Madness is a flame
I was born of the fire.
¡no hay quien me coja!
So, listen
list in
hear his Petroglyph gift,
Hieroglyph rift
you pessimist
gente que se confunden
only HE can judge me!
Here is your chance
to witness,
Este Títere speak.
