My Prayer
Good afternoon, my father
Who blesses the path
But I think you forgot all that I've suffered
My mom always prays to you
I've already confirmed that
Just give everything to everyone since you've denied it to me
Yesterday I passed by my neighborhood and
Navigating the horizon
I've seen that many children have disorders and bruises
That makes a child want
To do inappropriate things
We don't know what's at home and
We don't know their wounds
This time I confess that I just want to pray
I don't care if I can't be, it will be for others
The one who never sleeps and never stops dreaming
Deny me forever but listen to the others
The street child, the drug addict, and the rival
The prostitute girl and her addicted mom
These are life's things, they are truly strong
And they say my way of rhyming is explicit
Explicit is the hunger that they won't satisfy
Explicit is in Syria bombs raining without mercy
Explicit is the street where they kill for killing
They criticize immigrants and try to kill them
It's easier to buy a gun than to get a visa
They behead children and animals without mercy
We contaminate the earth, this mess is not the same
Only on my knees, I just want to pray
Good afternoon, my father
Who blesses the path
But I think you forgot all that I've suffered
My mom always prays to you
I've already confirmed that
Just give everything to everyone since you've denied it to me
Yesterday I passed by my neighborhood and
Navigating the horizon
I've seen that many children have disorders and bruises
That makes a child want
To do inappropriate things
We don't know what's at home and
We don't know their wounds
This time I confess that I just want to pray
It's been enough time that you've tried to ignore me
There are children who don't even have a good home
And you say they are your children, help them for real
In Texas, the white folks are starting to kill us
The lungs of the world have started to burn
Sometimes I can't find a way to pray
I've returned to drugs, it's hard to deny
Massacres in schools, the children are not at peace
Mothers demanding when peace will come
It won't be long until the next world war
In Culiacan, a war has started to unfold
Life is very difficult, it's become bipolar
There's a lot of hate nowadays, they don't know what loyalty is
Supposedly, I forgot what love is
And only with you can I talk
But when you listen to me, I will continue
There are many things of mine that you must hear
Life gave me stones and I started throwing them
You who love me so much, just start listening to me
AMEN
