Así Soy Yo

This is me, a lover of hip-hop and a poem in Spanish
Stubborn like my mother taught me
Tireless fighter defending my opinion
Executioner of people who impose themselves without reason
This is me and this is how I'll be, my friend
The person who falls and gets back up
Who looks forward and marches with faith towards it
Who knows that to win you have to know how to lose
And that the most important thing is not to be defeated
It's not to be defeated

This is me, this is me and this is how I'll be
This is me, this is me and this is how I'll die

To those who like to talk adding and not subtracting
Much less do I see myself ugly criticizing others
The one who still dreams awake
That we live in peace
And that in the ghetto my brothers are not killing each other
The one who doesn't believe in religion
But knows that there is a God who leads me by the hand
And continues to guide my steps
The one who grew up thinking the moon was made of cheese
And was saddened to know that this is no longer happening
And I am
The one who dreamed at night
That the world finally changed
I am the one who knows how to ask for forgiveness
The one who still believes in love
Who made a mistake a thousand times
But learned a thousand times from that mistake
This is me

This is me, this is me and this is how I'll be
This is me, this is me and this is how I'll die

And if I am a compulsive rhymer
Survivor of the streets
And proud of where I live
For those who don't like trouble
I am a passive fighter
My weapon is my pen and my bullets are what I write
Boom
I know someone at home is waiting to see me
I know that everything I want I can't have
I know I will never find a love like my mom's
And I know one day I will leave and never return
I know in life I will have good and bad moments
I know I will have to see my children grow
I know in my way of being, many will not like me
But this is how I am and this is how I'll die

This is me, this is me and this is how I'll be
This is me, this is me and this is how I'll die
