Muchacho Fracasado

Since I was a kid, I left my home
To find what I could succeed in
I was always the black sheep
Of my family, but who cares
Today I'm the light of my family, and for them, I grind every day

Countless complaints from my teachers
I never liked authority
In my mind is that corner
Where I used to sit and blaze
Now I'm still burning one, but I'm all in with my work

I left some old friends behind
Surrounded myself with new folks
Changes in social circles
And the work started to flow
Today the failed kid is seen as more relaxed

The one everyone pointed at
Who was never gonna do anything
Now they can't look me in the eye
'Cause everything's different now
From what people used to say

And because not everything is as it seems
Don't get fooled by appearances
And all about Aldo Trujillo

It hurts to know my brother
Is locked up, but he'll get out
I keep my head held high
To work in his place
I'm waiting for you, little bro, you know I won't get down

Some tragedies have passed
The scar, my body bears
The ones that hurt the most aren't visible
They're the ones in the soul, when I remember
The friends who are gone, I carry them in my heart

But today I enjoy life
And whatever comes, I’ll take it on
Bring on the good and the bad
Nothing scares me anymore
And out of joy, I return to my hometown, now that I've overcome

The one everyone humiliated
And no one would greet
Now they won't even look me in the eye
'Cause everything's different now
From what people used to say.
