[English]

We don't dwell on yesterday

Nor do we fear tomorrow

Living the moment, brother

Only now exists

I look at the ground and know something from my past weighs me down

I look at the sky to see what the future reveals

I feel this fire burn, it consumes my being, pierces through it

I've been reborn, glory is my princess today

I know whoever hits rock bottom then takes off towards the sun

I know another flower will always bloom beneath the rubble

I never hid my dedication, my only hero is me

My trust is blind, who's playing at being the best?

My story is in my verses, no one wrote it for me

Intense lyrics are Kenneth Faried's dunks

Happy to be who I am, no matter what actresses say

Like a beast, I show every scar in my lines

Look at my face, I have August painted on my skin

I don't retouch the aftermath, it was hard but I'm still standing

I returned from the Cosmos to sit alone with my ego

There's no tomorrow, nor yesterday, only now exists

Come on, I know you can see it differently

Today, only what you feel exists

If it's true, na-na-na, every second passes

You'll be exhausted in the past

My present, I know it doesn't depend on others

Take care of yourself and your people if you're na-na-na

That everything has an end, if all of this is good over evil

I who dreamed of being what is now out of style

I could never see how the heart improves

I always wanted to grow, for the hours to pass

Thinking about yesterday, you won't enjoy now

And in my own world, my own soundtrack plays

I know how life passes by, yes kid, without further delay

If what you did yesterday sends the bills today

And this breath is the only sure thing

Problems will come in waves

You decide how to handle them if you're in charge

Tell me if you make an effort, and I'll tell you if you're progressing

Take care of your present and not the past behind your back

No, I'm loaded with energy, always up

They say, I don't let the past chase me

And I say today, don't keep asking yourself what time it is

Time doesn't matter, friend, only now exists

He says

Come on, I know you can see it differently

Today, only what you feel exists

If it's true, na-na-na, every second passes

You'll be exhausted in the past

My present, I know it doesn't depend on others

Take care of yourself and your people if you're na-na-na

That everything has an end, if all of this is good over evil

It's my moment, I'm burning at 3000 degrees Celsius

They want a collaboration but yesterday they were throwing foolish barbs

Flooding the market, so many allies that disappear

So many slaves who have let the past consume them

I'll make a fortune, my lyrics are my answers; they challenge the opportunists, I've

Got them working overtime, bro

My bet is clear, hard work brought me to this peak

While the world is partying and not paying attention

I know it's hard to see it raining and dodge the drops

It's complicated like flying with broken wings

Today new lines sprout, they are like a Holy Grail

If the stars align, your hate and envy are trivial

I'm punctual for every appointment with peaks and summits

Fear is a poison that turns into a habit

Don't let them knock down your faith, believe in what's born in your chest

There's no tomorrow, nor yesterday, only now exists

Come on, I know you can see it differently

Today, only what you feel exists

If it's true, na-na-na, every second passes

You'll be exhausted in the past

My present, I know it doesn't depend on others

Take care of yourself and your people if you're na-na-na

That everything has an end, if all of this is good over evil

[Spanish]

No nos anclamos al ayer

Tampoco tememos al mañana

Viviendo el momento hermano

Tan solo existe ahora

Miro hacia el suelo y sé que algo en mi pasado pesa

Miro hacia el cielo a ver lo que el futuro confiesa

Siento este fuego arder, quema mi ser, lo atraviesa

He vuelto a renacer, la gloria hoy es mi princesa

Sé que quien toca fondo luego despega hacia el sol

Sé que bajo el escombro siempre brotará otra flor

Nunca escondí mi entrega, mi único héroe soy yo

Mi confianza es ciega, ¿quien juega a ser el mejor?

Mi historia esta en mis versos nadie la escribió por mí

Textos intensos son los mates de Kenneth Faried

Feliz de ser quien soy, da igual lo que actrices dicen

Como una bestia muestro en frases cada cicatriz

Mira mi rostro traigo Agosto pintado en mi piel

No me retoco el pospo, costó pero sigo en pie

Volví del Cosmos a sentarme con mi ego a solas

No hay mañana, ni ayer, tan solo existe ahora

Vente, sé que puedes verlo diferente

Hoy tan solo existe lo que sientes

Si es verdad, na-na-na, cada segundo se va

Cansado en el pasado estará

Mi presente, sé que de terceros no depende

Cuida de ti y de tu gente si es que estáis na-na-na

Que todo tiene un final, si todo esto es el bien sobre el mal

Yo que soñé con ser lo que ahora pasó de moda

Yo nunca pude ver cómo el corazón mejora

Siempre quise crecer, que se pasasen las horas

Pensando en el ayer, no disfrutarás ahora

Y en mi propio mundo suena mi propia banda sonora

Sé cómo la vida se pasa, sí chico, sin mas demora

Si lo que hiciste ayer hoy pasa las facturas

Y esta respiración es la única segura

Los problemas llegarán en tandas

Tú decides cómo manejarlos si tu mandas

Dime si te esfuerzas ya te diré yo si andas

Cuida tu presente y no el pasado a tus espaldas

No, voy cargado de energía siempre arriba

Dicen, no permito que el pasado me persiga

Y digo hoy, no sigas preguntándote a que hora

Da igual el tiempo amigo, sólo existe ahora

Dice

Vente, sé que puedes verlo diferente

Hoy tan solo exite lo que sientes

Si es verdad, na-na-na, cada segundo se va

Cansado en el pasado estará

Mi presente, sé que de terceros no depende

Cuida de ti y de tu gente si es que estáis na-na-na

Que todo tiene un final, si todo esto es el bien sobre el mal

Es mi momento, estoy ardiendo a 3000 grados Celsius

Quieren colabo pero ayer lanzaban clavos necios

Inundando el mercado, tanto aliado que se esfuma

Tanto esclavo que ha dejado que el pasado le consuma

Yo haré fortuna mis letras son mis respuestas pro-testan turistas, les

Tengo haciendo horas extras, bro

Mi apuesta es clara, el trabajo me trajo a esta cresta

Mientras el mundo va de fiesta y no presta atención

Ya sé que cuesta ver que llueve y esquivar las gotas

Es complicado como volar con las alas rotas

Hoy brotan nuevas líneas, son como un santo Grial

Si los astros se alinean tu odio y tu envidia es trivial

Soy puntual a cada cita con cimas y cumbres

El miedo es un veneno que se convierte en costumbre

Que no tumben tu fe, cree en lo que nace en tu tórax

No hay mañana, ni ayer, tan solo existe ahora

Vente, sé que puedes verlo diferente

Hoy tan solo existe lo que sientes

Si es verdad, na-na-na, cada segundo se va

Cansado en el pasado estará

Mi presente, sé que de terceros no depende

Cuida de ti y de tu gente si es que estáis na-na-na

Que todo tiene un final, si todo esto es el bien sobre el mal

Key Grammar Structures

• No nos anclamos al ayer

  ➔ Reflexive verb in the present tense with negation.

  ➔ "No nos anclamos" means "we don't anchor ourselves." The "nos" indicates the reflexive nature, meaning the action is directed back at the subject. "Ayer" means "yesterday".

• Sé que quien toca fondo luego despega hacia el sol

  ➔ Subjunctive mood with "quien" (whoever), followed by the present indicative and prepositional phrase indicating direction.

  ➔ "Quien toca fondo" uses the subjunctive because it expresses a general statement. "Luego despega hacia el sol" uses the indicative because it's stating a fact. "Hacia el sol" shows direction.

• Mi historia esta en mis versos nadie la escribió por mí

  ➔ Use of 'estar' to indicate location of something abstract (the story), and the use of the pronoun 'la' as a direct object.

  ➔ "Esta en mis versos" uses "estar" because the story's location is conceptual, not physical. "Nadie la escribió por mí" uses "la" to refer back to "historia" (feminine noun).

• Si lo que hiciste ayer hoy pasa las facturas

  ➔ Conditional "si" clause using the past tense, followed by the present indicative.

  ➔ This is a typical structure for expressing consequences of past actions in the present. "Si lo que hiciste ayer" (if what you did yesterday) sets the condition, and "hoy pasa las facturas" (today brings the bills) is the consequence.

• Tú decides cómo manejarlos si tu mandas

  ➔ Use of the pronoun "tú" for emphasis, combined with an indirect question using "cómo" and a conditional "si" clause.

  ➔ "Tú decides" (you decide) emphasizes the subject. "Cómo manejarlos" (how to handle them) is an embedded question. The "si" clause sets the condition for you being in control.

• Inundando el mercado, tanto aliado que se esfuma

  ➔ Gerund phrase ("inundando") modifying the main clause, and a relative clause introduced by "tanto" with reflexive verb.

  ➔ "Inundando el mercado" acts as an adverbial modifier, describing how the action in the main clause occurs. "Tanto aliado que se esfuma" means "so many allies who disappear." "Se esfuma" is reflexive.
