[Reporter]
We’re going to present to you now
The whole situation, the whole truth from a person
Who has been on everyone’s lips until now
But until now no one had listened to him
So let’s prepare to hear the truth
From Tempo
From David Sánchez Badillo

[Tempo]
Well, we’re going to have to do it because
The only thing I’m a little worried about
Is that he thinks money buys smiles
Or that money will make up for the time
That I’ve lost in prison, but it’s not like that
The key to getting out of here is Jesus Christ, our Lord
And the support of my people

[Chorus]
That’s why I get so angry and I start confronting him
And whenever I see a patrol car, I start rolling down the window
So they can see who’s driving and who’s inside
And when they stop me, I’ll ask
Why am I Tempo?
Unofficial man, have something to eat
Tell me thank you so I can snort at you later
And that people like you who live in persecution
Are the most deserving of hearing my song

[Verse 1]
And now I’m going to take off my badge, you ba*tard guard
Rappers deserve to be asked for forgiveness
Because this is just a lifestyle and a pleasurable way
Of freely expressing whatever one wants
Dressed however I want, I roam my way
Money in my pockets, food in the fridge
Women wherever I want, wherever I stand

At the four cardinal points of my entire island
Famous wherever I want, I’m happy with this
I stay drug-free, without wearing a uniform
I don’t need controlled substances to support myself
Music is what I sell if you want to believe me
And it’s not my fault I was born in a hamlet
I also have the right to have what’s mine
But since I wasn’t rich from the first moment
Now Tempo is the worst and the most Gangster, okay

[Refrain]
I am the one who lives permanently in your heart
I am the story of Ponce, like the late Héctor Lavoe
You’ve seen how my life changed through my lyrics
But what they locked up was the flesh, not the spirit

[Chorus]
That’s why I get so angry and start fronting
And whenever I see a patrol car, I roll down the window
So they can see who’s driving and who’s inside
And when they stop me, ask
Why am I Tempo?
Unofficial man, have something to eat
Tell me thank you so I can snort at you later
And that people like you who live in persecution
Are the ones who truly deserve to hear my song

[Verse 2]
I was recently accused of different charges
Now ask the prosecutor if they have conclusive evidence
Let them explain some of their accusations
This is the product of fabrication because of my songs
Afterwards, don’t get all worked up if I mention
The abuse of power by these thugs and ba*tards
The state prosecutors, the sheriffs, the judges
You guys are a conspiracy, what do you think? How I’m defending myself, how far I’m going
I hope you understand what music I’m selling
And I don’t intend to clear myself or justify myself
But if there’s nothing against me, I have to defend myself
And claim my innocence of the charges against me
You have to talk to them the way you talk to all these
Fu*king sons of b!tches
And don’t argue with me anymore based on my own stuff
Or I’ll be forced to be the Filiberto Ojeda Ríos
Of the genre that maintains the record industry
And instead of going to Cuba, they’ll have to look for me in Africa
Maybe they’ll give me life for letting off steam
For being the first and for expressing myself
Telling them the truth and singing it to everyone at the moment, but it’s that
They have to put up with Tempo
They have to put up with Tempo
They have to put up with Tempo

[Outro]
I’m here because of three idiots who sat down to talk about me
Things that weren’t true
I I reiterate, and people can think whatever they want.
I continue to reiterate my innocence.
I am innocent of what I am being accused of. I am not blaming anyone.
Unfortunately, I will not accept something I didn’t do. Do you understand?
I don’t dress in white, and I don’t have wings to be an angel.
But neither am I a criminal like they’re making me out to be.
Buy time, deal with this, calmly.
And wait for justice to be done.
Justice itself is what will be justice here.
And not their justice.
My future is said and done.
I will continue to make my mark, and I will continue doing.
What no one has done, but nothing, no, really.
I feel good, I feel good, very positive.
And I trust in God that the sun will shine again.
