La Recompenza Lyrics


La recompenza es basta
Y la vida una sola
Vivir hora tras hora
Para morir y ser yo
La recompenza basta
Y la vida una sola
Vivir hora tras hora
Para morir y ser yo
(Eliel!)
Aveces uno se pregunta si la vida es justa
Porque mi vieja se tuvo que morir de cancer
Y no estar aqui conmigo viendome triunfar
Porque mataron a Georgie, a Charlie, a Tony
A Carmelo y a su primo Michael
Porque los mataron y los dejaron irreconocibles
Y los tuvimos que enterrar
Y llorarlos
Y hasta olvidarlos

Aveces uno se pregunta si la vida vale la pena, socio
Porque la vida en el caserio
No es igual a la vida en una urbanizacion cerrada
Porque Victor Fajardo se robo el dinero
Que era pa' que nuestros chamaquitos estudiaran
Y salieran del barrio con un diploma
En vez de un tiro
Porque a Pedro Rosello jamas lo pudieron vincular con el palo del pueblo
Porque hay falsos profetas alfrente de una iglesia
Y hasta les permiten tener programas de television
Porque sigue la guerra en el caserio
Y las AK-47, como lobos de una fucking noche interminable
Porque, señora gobernadora, el gobierno nos roba la fe
Y mata nuestras esperanzas
Porque hay que seguir viviendo encontrando tantas dificultados
Porque los domingos en mi barrio no son los mismos que en Torrimar
Porque Norberto Nieves pudo salir a la graduacion de su hijo
Cuando a miles de preso no se les permite
Porque Buzo esta cumpliendo en su casa
Y a nuestro hermanito Tempo lo tienen cumpliendo en la Federal
Porque hay guerra entre Estados Unidos y el Medio Oriente
Porque hay que seguir viendo mas odio, mas ira, mas ratings
Mas carceles, mas masacres, mas sueños rotos, mas lagrimas
Mas historias de superacion, de fabricacion de cargos
Porque vivir, mi hermano?
Sientate, que te voy a decir
Vivimos, porque la recompenza es estar vivo, papi
Me aferre de la verdad
Y adopte la realidad
Por que vivir no es por vivir
Si no vivir pa' superar
Y me aferre de la verdad
Y adopte la realidad
Por que vivir no es por vivir
Si no vivir pa' superar
Yo me aferre a que mi viejo me amara
Sin embargo, Edwin Otero lanzo su hija al vacio
Yo me aferre a creer en Dios
Cuando sus representantes en la tierra cometian lascivia
Yo me aferre a creer en la lealtad
Sim embargo en mi barrio hasta los primos se tiran trambos
Yo me aferre a que el gobierno fuera algo verdadero
Sin embargo, el gobierno resulto ser una total mentira
Yo me aferre a creer en la paz
Cuando miles de puertorriqueños son llamadas al field de la guerra
Y mueren por gotas de petroleo
Yo me aferre a creer que el matrimonio, segun la iglesia catolica
Es hasta que la muerte nos separe
Y sin embargo, viene nuestra gobernadora y se nos divorcia
Yo me aferre a que los jodedores de la calle no chotean
Y pal de cocorotes panas mias hicieron valvula en la Federal
Y a que se habran aferrao' los dos chamaquitos que salieron de la Grabiela Mistral
Sin saber que esa tarde morian en el Cerro Maravilla
Brother, yo me aferre al amor
Y estoy vivo
Este es mi testimonio
Gallego...
Don Omar...
Me aferre de la verdad
Y adopte la realidad
Por que vivir no es por vivir
Si no vivir pa' superar
Y me aferre de la verdad
Y adopte la realidad
Por que vivir no es por vivir
Si no vivir pa' superar
La recompenza es basta
Y la vida una sola
Vivir hora tras hora
Para morir y ser yo
La recompenza es basta
Y la vida una sola
Vivir hora tras hora
Para morir y ser yo

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
William Omar Landrón (born February 10, 1978 in Puerto Rico), better known as Don Omar, is a reggaeton singer. He is one of the most well known reggaeton artists in Latin America. His cross over success in the U.S. has given him more exposure to English speaking Reggaeton fans, making him one of the more recognizable faces of Reggaeton along with Daddy Yankee and Tego Calderón. Don Omar's popularity is currently rising and he recently appeared on MTV. Omar is best known for his songs "Dile" and "Dale Don Dale" from his first album The Last Don and "Reggaeton Latino". His songs center around life and love; some examples of these would be "La Recompenza" (The Reward), "Pobre Diabla" (Poor Devil (fem.)) and "Aunque te Fuiste" (Even Though You Left).

His debut album, The Last Don, sold over 350,000 units in South America. Both "The Last Don" as the live edition of it have been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Worldwide, The Last Don: Live [CD & DVD] sold over one million copies, according to the official website. His debut single, "Dale Don Dale", sold over 100,000 copies in South America. He received the awards for "Latin Pop Album of the Year" and "New Artist & Latin Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year" by the Billboard Latin Music Awards in 2003. The Last Don: Live [CD & DVD] was also nominated for "Urban Music Album" at the 2005 Latin Grammy Awards

He started his career after facing many obstacles when Héctor Delgado (from the duo Héctor y Tito) gave him an opportunity to be a backup singer. After that, he sang in a live concert with Héctor and Tito in 2003, which was released later as a CD and DVD, which included the songs that became instant hits, Baila Morena and Amor de Colegio.

In 2005, Don Omar released the reggaeton album "Da Hitman Presents Reggaeton Latino", which broke the record for "Highest First Week Sales for a Reggaeton Album" by selling over 31,000 units in its first week, resulting a debut of #61 in The Billboard 200. Wisin y Yandel held that record until "Reggaeton Latino" was released.

The first single released from Reggaeton Latino, "Dale Don Dale [Remix]" , which features rapper Fabolous, debuted at #1 on the crossover chart.

He is currently signed to VI Music through Universal Music Latino.

In early 2006, the Governor of Puerto Rico, Aníbal Acevedo Vilá publicly mentioned interest in having Don Omar participate in a program against School Desertion. However, the Secretary of Education has rejected Don Omar sponsoring it due to his lyrics. The local press has also mentioned that Omar himself did not finish High School.

Currently has his own record label "El Orfanato" (The Orphanage) and had a magnificent performance in the 2011 Latin Music Billboard Awards where he received the Award for Latin Rythm Airplay.
