Story Behind The Song

After numerous high profile gigs, El Tarot found himself doing what he loves despite being quite poor.

Song Description

Produced by underground up and comer Villa in Ponce, Puerto Rico, this song is an open challenge to the standards of materialism pervasive in today's pop culture. El Tarot is out to prove that humility unites many people in this world, where poverty is rampant and only a few share-in on the wealth of nations. There is infinite value in all of us: come dance with the new culture!

Esta cancion se la quiero dedicar a todos mis hermanos latinoamericanos:

Porque el espiritu es mas
importante que el dinero!

Verso 1:

El que procura la lujuria
anda en la locura,
va por la fortuna
pero pierde altura,
encuentra los demonios
en todo lo que conjura
y el destino castiga
la avaricia en esta vida.
Este es el sinblinblineo,
bonito y barato como tosoton y guineo, la mujer es linda
ella no es un trofeo,
tienes que amarla como Julieta y Romeo.

Este es el Sin Bling Bling
que le importa plin,
en la tierra del Coqui y Luis Munoz Marin,
Venga metase a este ring, mire que yo tengo rimas y versos hasta el fin
Este es el Sin Bling Bling,
en la corte arlequin,
le serrucho la cabeza pa' saca aserrin,
Mi verso es limpio mi verso es clean,
you can be my friend
if you lose or win!

Coro:

Yo no tengo Bling Bling,
Yo no tengo Bling Bling,
pero tengo lo que necesito
para sobrevivir. (X2)

Verso 2:

El que cree en si mismo
sabe que es la que hay,
busca lo que puede para poder rescatar,
mucha en esta vida hay que luchar y luchar,
amor que vale mas que billete ganar.
Este es el sinblinblineo,
mi canto humilde pal camino y pariseo,
en la mesa del senor
los ultimos son primero,
a fuego entero como mi brother Prometeo.

Puente:

Algunos tiene dinero aunque otros no,
pero todos pueden tener un gran corazon,
Cause some don't have it
and others have some dough,
but all gotta have a right to a scared soul.

Jah, oyela, oyela, Jah, oyela, oye

Coro X 2

Verso 3:

Tengo a mi nena preciosa,
su belleza no agota,
con mi gente alrededor
tengo riqueza de sobra,
El hombre humilde ni miente ni roba,
ni escupe basura por esa boca
Pa que andar guillao con la alcancia rota,
se parece un Aladino que su lampara frota.

Puente

Coro

Interludio:

Lo que necesito, lo que necesito, mira que yo tengo lo que yo necesito

Este es mi canto, no importa tanto lo que hay en el banco y te soy franco,

A los farsantes ya no aguanto!
Ser humilde pa ser elegante
con la rima y El Tarot vamos pa delante!

JAH! Oyela, este es el Sin Bling Bling Papa!

[English lyrics]

Verse I:
Those who seek only luxury are crazy
looking for the top but losing altitude
finds the demons in all they conjure
and destiny punishes avarice in this life

This is the no bling bling dance
cheap but valuable like banana and plantain
women are beautiful they are not a trophy (trofeo)
Got to love them like Juliet and Romeo

I am the no bling bling
that doesn't care about a thing
in the land of the coqui and Luis Munoz Marin
come and step into this ring
see that I have verse and rhymes to spare

I am the no bling bling
Jetster in the court
I saw their head in search of sawdust
My verse is "limpio" my verse is "Clean"
you can be my friend
if you lose or win!

Chorus:
Aint got no bling bling, aint't got no bling bling
But I got what it takes to live

Verse II:
Those who believe in themselves know what's up
Look for what they can to rescue and conserve
Life is about struggle, struggle so hard
Love that is worth much more than money in the bank

This is the no bling bling dance
my humble chant for the road and the party (pariseo)
In the lord's table the last shall be first
Like harnessing fire with my brother Prometheus

Bridge:
Because some have money and some don't
But all can have great heart
Cause some don't have it
and others have some dough,
but all gotta have a right to a scared soul.

Interlude:
Jah - hear it now, hear it

Chorus X 2

Verse III:
I got my adored lady
Her beauty never runs out
With my people around who needs the clout
The humble man does not steal or lie
Nor spew trash out that mouth
Why the front with a piggy bank broke
Looks like Aladdin rubbing the lamp

Bridge:
Cause some don't have it
and others have some dough,
but all gotta have a right to a scared soul.

Chorus X 2

All that I need look that I have all that I need

This is my chant and I am going to be sincere
Doesn't matter how much money you got
These posers I can't stand
Be humble to be elegant
With the rhymes and El Tarot we are moving forward

Jah hear me!

This is the no blig bling ...
