[English]

E

We started like this, without a penny and

like this, among the hustle, just like that in the

neighborhood, that's how it is; drinking, pretty faces,

shady looks, that's how it is. I wake up

anywhere, but I return to the sea; if you suffered

like this, if you had four jobs and

worked hard, if you knew how to make our mark,

these clothes, the fine details, just so we wouldn't have to beg

[music]

That's what we did, so if I see you, it

gets ugly for you. Ugly, that's how it is. This life

isn't a game like recess, but if you see the

ugly ones with money, you're going

inside, just like that. I swear, I'm sharp. I

don't enter like that. Clip by clip, brick by

brick. In the kid's house, right next

to a gypsy. We learned that rap is

like this. I make numbers and keep numbers

[music] in the pocket, I've got a bro with

one that sounds like this.

This is how we do it. It seems easy to me.

My rhymes are a prophecy, favelas from

Brazil, fantasy rappers who think they are

Maxteel, they're all photocopies and

a fancy one appears, they plan and they

die like camels, almost; life is like this

Gucci and legendary shit, my

son, it's always like this, I retired like Zidane

against the masters,

if you hate me, it's because you loved me,

that's how it is; if I get you to smoke what I

[music] smoke, you'll stay like this; I hang out with

these bros and you think it's

Brazilian, JC's style, we are the ones

when the ass is like this, and the breasts like this.

Then the problem that comes later

is like this. I've already been in the streets

like the kid Tonio, just like that. And he acts tough,

claiming he lost a cousin. That's how it is.

[music]

My new Jeep has bars on the grill.

You've never seen anything like this. In the

Alwacil, coming down with Fanfosit. It feels like

I turned on the AC, but ah

thanks for the view. She looked like Lady,

so I went for it, I launched that missile without

being too aggressive, civil, I didn't

have her number. No man, you can't even see

it like that. Sideburns on the glasses made of

wood and ivory. I've let my hair grow

loose, I feel like Maxville. Cousin, this

is how it is. In my oven, it's like this.

I'm playing roulette and there's one left in

the barrel. I see my wishes come true,

I'm like Aladdin. I keep some in the

heart and some in the sock. In the street

with lions, suddenly everything is free.

[music] A line of customers wanting

my wallet,

suddenly two secret agents with the classic sneakers.

The girls who don't pay the fine are

called the girls.

It seems easy. I break the fast with the dates

with the fingertips. For my brother, an

award, he does it for the palace, he

took the Zamora trophy among so many

for Don, we do it like this, we learned

[music] like this, scoring points with the weed.

Just like that.

madera y marfil. Ya me dejo el pelo

suelto que me creo Maxville. Primo, esto

es así. En mi horno es [música] así.

Estoy jugando a la ruleta y queda una en

el barril. Veo cumplir mis deseos que

parezco a ladín. Guardo parte en el

cazón y parte en el calcetín. En la stre

con leones de repente todo free.

[música] Una fila de clientes quieren

waller mis

de repente dos secretas con las bambas

assic. A las perras que no multan se las

llama la [música] nyenas.

Parece fácil. Rompo ayuno con los asis

con el dátil. Para mi hermano un

galardón lo hace palazón [música] se ha

llevado el premio Zamora de entre tanto

[música] así ganando puntos a la hierba.

Andrea Gasi.
