AGRADECIDO

If I wasn't blessed for what I chose
If it wasn't for my people, I wouldn't be there
If it wasn't for the blocks where I grew up
I would've wasted time

If I wasn't blessed for what I chose
If it wasn't for my people, I wouldn't be there
If it wasn't for the blocks where I grew up
I would've wasted time

Mabel told me: Are you sure you're up for this?
Me with a hundred hits and two resolved albums
Victor told me: Are you sure you're up for this?
I see you on stage, my son, and I don't regret it

A brother told me: Dude, look who you are
The kids see their dreams reflected in you
Do you remember the square? Do you remember the flows?
Walk the earth in peace, like a young God

I felt infinite, without limitation
I embraced what was written and saw the evolution
I have bare feet, my mind on tour
A block of blank pages, a grateful soul

I'm blessed, dad, don't compare yourself
I have soldiers, they carry my blood

If I wasn't blessed for what I chose
If it wasn't for my people, I wouldn't be there
If it wasn't for the blocks where I grew up
I would've wasted time

If I wasn't blessed for what I chose
If it wasn't for my people, I wouldn't be there
If it wasn't for the blocks where I grew up
I would've wasted time

I went from collecting records to selling them
From crying over this to killing it on stage
From staring at the ceiling only because of setbacks
To feeling satisfied knowing I could do it

Because the bad times are over, because now I'm better
And the cause of all that, daddy, was my GIFT
Because what fills my belly goes through a line
Because my only sponsor was my conviction

For my mom, for my neighborhood, for my blood
For my kids, they're out there on the street
For my brothers who have grown up, now they're parents
Together we chose this rapper life

I promised and delivered, I'm going up
God gave me the GIFT, living off rhymes
Maybe out of honor or discipline
Nas The World Is Yours, a grateful soul

If I wasn't blessed for what I chose
If it wasn't for my people, I wouldn't be there
If it wasn't for the blocks where I grew up
I would've wasted time

If I wasn't blessed for what I chose
If it wasn't for my people, I wouldn't be there
If it wasn't for the blocks where I grew up
I would've wasted time
