Evolución

It matters more how you step than leaving a mark
Rushing is useless, impatience is never good
Step by step, what remains standing is forged
What the wind doesn't take away to make room for new things

Pain came, brought learning, and then left
Half of whatever strength is learned with Him
They told me: Why are you crying? — I knew I was doing well
Every tear was a step towards being who I want to be

And this is my life that I forged through struggles and now has borne fruit
There were a thousand days of mourning, disgusted by school
Where skipping to forget sorrows, alcohol, and joints
To touch the icy bars and feel the yoke

That oppressed the child, who, due to his innocence, unintentionally left
Said not to come back, didn't want to suffer
Everything was black, it seemed like nothing was going well
I swear I wished to die a thousand times

Like Jesus in the desert, I talked to the devil
Controlling my impulses is my daily job
Either they kill me or I kill them, it's my war, there's no schedule
I'm a man, still standing, and for now, I'm winning

If it was worth it to change, they ask
No one really understands what I do, one loves me, the other insults me
It's true that now I'm going to another place, changed my path
And now I build palaces while others mess around

You won't see me talking shit anymore, not on all fours
Music is gold to me and I won't dirty it again
Only love in my notebook and things that heal the heart
Everything is messed up enough to add insult to injury

I'm sorry if you were expecting something else and it never was
I follow myself, that's what my mother taught me
I felt like a herd and that's not for Andrés
I came to be great, not just another in this class
