English Translation

Alicia Keys
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Ra-Rauw

I swore to mom that I was going to get out of the hole
It’s 5:00 a.m. in the studio and I want to sleep
Though I can’t more, I’m gonna stay working
Sleeping the dreams won’t come true

This is for all the workers
Race of all the colors
You know that the sacrifice isn’t real if it doesn’t make you cry, yeah

This is for all the workers
Race of all the colors
I’ll never give up, I always want more
I want money, health and peace for all my friends, yeah-eh-eh, eh

Have you ever been down, down, down, down, down?
Down like an underdog
Talkin’ to all of y’all
We ready to rumble, y’all (Knowing they don’t get to run)

Have you ever been down, down, down, down, down? (Oh yeah-yeah-yeah)
Down like an underdog (Watch your love)
Talkin’ to all of y’all
We ready to rumble, y’all (Alicia, Alicia, yeah), oh yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

How many times they said:
“You are not good for this, you are not good for that”
And I was always lowkey and focus in my goals
My best friend was my notebook

You know, where I wrote all the goals I had
Be able to succeed as I deserved
Without going out from the studio ’till the next day
And today I’m here thanks to all my people

And everyone who underestimated me now has to shut up
Because while God is by my side
I am missing nothing, no
Let’s go, Alicia

Have you ever been down, down, down, down, down?
Down like an underdog
Talkin’ to all of y’all (Uh-uh)
We ready to rumble, y’all (Knowing they don’t get to run)

Have you ever been down, down, down, down, down? (Oh yeah-yeah-yeah)
Down like an underdog (Oh yeah-yeah-yeah)
Talkin’ to all of y’all
We ready to rumble, y’all, oh yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Everybody rise up
You gonna write it, ayy
I’ma sing a song for the hustlers

Hustlers waiting at the bus stop
Single mothers (Mothers waiting on a check to come)
Sing what I might, yeah (And all the teachers, student doctors), yeah
Someone on the frontline knowing they don’t get to run

This goes out to the underdog (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Keep on keepin’ at what you love (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
And you’ll find there someday soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
N-I-C-K
Nicky-Nicky-Nicky Jam
Rauw Alejandro
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Everybody right now
Alicia Keys
You gonna right, eh
Alicia Keys
Everybody right now
Latinos united
Everybody right now
Oh-oh, ooh
You gonna—

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Del hoyo voy a salir, se lo juré a mami
5 a. m. en el estudio, ya quiero dormir
Aunque no puedo más, yo voy a seguir
Durmiendo los sueños no se van a cumplir

Esto e’ pa’ lo’ joseadore’
Raza’ de to’ lo’ colore’
Sabe’ que el sacrificio no e’ real si no hace que llores, yeah

Esto e’ pa’ lo’ joseadore’
Raza’ de to’ lo’ colore’
Rendirme jamás, siempre busco por más
Pa’ to’ los míos, chavos, salud y paz, yeah-eh-eh, eh

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Cuánta’ vece’ no me dijeron:
“Tú no sirve’ pa’ esto, tú no sirve’ pa’ aquello”
Y yo siempre calla’o y enfoca’o en la meta
Mi mejor amiga era mi libreta

You know, donde enfocaba to’a la’ meta’ que tenía
Llegar a triunfar como me lo merecía
Sin salir del estudio hasta el otro día
Y hoy estoy aquí gracia’ a la gente mía

Y todo’ lo’ que me subestimaron ahora se tienen callar
Porque mientras tenga a Dios de mi lado
Nada me faltar, no
Let’s go, Alicia

Someone on the frontline knowing they don’t get to run

This goes out to the underdog (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Keep on keepin’ at what you love (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
And you’ll find there someday soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
