tell it, cousin.

The hand that helps you, you don't touch or

bite. I learned that in a hostel

room. People want more views,

they want me to blow up. I know I'll be

alone on the road when I arrive. It's me

risking my freedom at night.

It's me who doesn't watch the clock for the

money. It's me. The one who keeps his mouth shut, his

enemy. It's me. I'm going to change my life

because [music] that's how I'll be rocking Nike

when I show up for the trial. Forgive me,

your honor, [singing] people here live off vice.

If I don't make money at night, I lose it and

think about hitting the streets to do a

job. [music][singing]

It's becoming normal for me that they snake each other for

money. They turn on each other. There's

[music][singing] street life, but they don't live it,

just a normal cycle turning. If I fall, I

will get back up with no support at all, because

even if I end up down, I will never, ever be

one of them. And you, one of those who say "ride or die"

[music] if they ever had to face you, do you

think anyone would go blind trying to

bring you back to life? Fake drugs and

it's good to look out for people, but

better to look out for yourself. Cartels and

hospitals are the worst places to

be, my friend, but the best places to see

who is truly with you.

The [music] people who open a door for you,

give you a hand, but they want it back.

If I hit the streets, it's because

life is a struggle. The money I make

could land me in a cell. I've been dealt

a life that is hard to resolve.

The family is beautiful, but you have to

provide for them. It's one thing to be in the

streets and another thing to face them. It's one thing to smoke

but another thing to move the weight.

There are people who show off but aren't real.

That's why some things, to keep them

where they belong, you have to throw them in the trash.

I don't need to see much to see

who contributes or who takes away. I know how much you're worth

at a glance, like a little Hachis. [music]

I lived without love, without hope, even without

a roof. But I became tougher than everything

they [music] did to me. Where two people can eat,

three can eat pears, and one day they'll be

alone. Where nobody eats, they'll end up eating

each other. Mom, I do it without

motivation or anything, because it's harder for me

to live without goals than without desire. Don't let

the bad things consume you and try not to

repeat twice what made you cry

once. They say they'd keep a vigil for you if you died

and then they won't even defend your name

behind your back. I know who

is real, who is fake, and who is a fraud.

And just because someone smiles at you doesn't mean you don't

know.

[music]

about when I show up for [singing] the trial.

Forgive me your honor, people here live off vice.

If I don't make money at night, I lose it.

And I think about hitting the [singing] streets

to do a [music] job. It's already

becoming normal for me that they snake each other for money. They

turn on each other. the streets, but they don't [music]

live it, just a normal cycle turning.

díselo, primo.

La mano que te ayuda ni se toca ni se

muerde. Lo aprendí en una habitación de

albergue. La gente quiere más visitas,

quiere que me peguen. Sé que voy a estar

solo en el camino cuando llegue. Soy yo

el que se juega la libertad de noche.

Soy yo el que no mira la hora para el

dinero. Soy yo. El que cierra la boca su

enemigo. Soy yo. Voy a cambiar mi vida

porque [música] así voy metido de Nike

cuando llego para el juicio. Perdón

señoría, [canto] aquí se vive del vicio.

Si no hago dinero de noche me desquio y

pienso en salir a la calle a hacer un

servicio. [música][canto]

Ya se me hace normal que tiren por

dinero. Ellos se dividen. Habrá

[música][canto] calle pero no la viven

por un culo normal que gire. Si caigo me

levantaré sin apoyo ninguno, porque

aunque acabe tirado, nunca jamás seré

uno. Y tú de esos que dicen a muerte en

[música] caso de un día tocarte, ¿crees

que alguno quedaría ciego por

resucitarte? Falsos drogas y

queella está bien cuidar la gente, pero

más cuidarse de ella. Cárteles y

hospitales son los peores sitios para

estar amigo, pero los mejores para ver

quién está contigo.

La [música] gente de abrirte una puerta,

te dan una mano, pero la quieren de

vuelta. Si salgo a la calle porque la

vida me cuesta. El dinero que yo hago

puede llevarme a una celda. Me ha tocado

una vida que me cuesta resolverla.

Bonita la familia, pero aquí hay que

mantenerla. Una cosa es estar en la

calle y otra cosa verla. Una cosa fumar

pero otra cosa moverla.

Hay gente que aparenta y que no es pura.

Por eso hay cosas que para que estén

donde deben debes tirarlas a la basura.

No me hace falta ver mucho para ver

quién aporta o quita. Sé cuánto valéis a

ojo como Hachi sinita. [música]

Viví sin amor, sin ilusión, hasta sin

techo. Pero me hice más duro que todo lo

que me [música] han hecho. Donde comen

dos, comen tres peras y un día están

solos. donde no come nadie se comerán

entre todos. Mamá, lo hago sin

motivación ni nada porque me cuesta más

vivir sin metas que sin ganas. No dejes

que lo malo te consuma e intenta no

repetir dos veces lo que te hizo llorar

una. Dicen que te guardarían un muerto

si hiciese falta y luego no te guardan

ni la cara a tus espaldas. Yo sé quién

es puro, quién es y quién es feca.

Y que te sonría no implica que no lo

sepas.

[música]

de cuando llego para [canto] el juicio.

Perdón señoría, aquí se vive del vicio.

Si no hago dinero de noche me desquicio.

Y pienso en salir a la [canto] calle

hacer un [música] servicio. Ya se me

hace normal que tiren por dinero. Ellos

se dividen. calle, pero no [música] la

viven por un culo normal que giren.
