Afortunado

Nice to meet you, I introduce myself to the one who's alone now
My full name on the document is Ali Rey Montoya
I'm Colombian and now I live in Argentina
I'm a craftsman who with his doctrine pierces your chest

I just want to clarify that I'm
With a clearer mind knowing where I'm going
I ignore the fake who wanted to see me on the ground and all he did
Was force me to put him in his place

Today I tell many that even though far away
I remember their looks, their words, their advice
I remember the rides, the rap battles, the schools
And the party nights, I remember them fondly

Although there are fools who take advantage of circumstances
And like a spear kill your innocence and rot your trust
They will say that my ego has grown, that fame got to my head and I can't control it
That I'm not real, that I'm commercial, that I'm just marketing
That I'm not loyal to rap for not giving them a featuring
That I've copied everything and don't deserve anything, what have they achieved?
Envy is really shameless

Look, buddy, I have few friends
Who I know will always be there for me through thick and thin
A traveling family that strives to grow
And a first-class warrior is my manager, my wife

It's easy to criticize what's outside
Anyone can be smart with a bull behind the barrier
There are a thousand ways to tarnish what others do
And those who do this are the haters who envy your position

It's very easy to have everything first class
Especially if daddy is the one who pays and fills your wallet
Not everyone with a low budget stays in their place
Being real and always honest

And despite everything and despite it all, if I fall I get up
And keep pushing through the mud, I don't need a nickname
To look more like a rapper, my rap speaks for itself because I am sincere

I hope it's clear to you, kid
Not even the cream of your songs is better than a freestyle by Ali on a drunk trip
And it's not a joke or a narcissistic act of mine
I'm just tired of hearing the same ones always with the same thing

Pure selfishness from those who see that our tracks
Are all over the sphere without a record label and without payola
Do something now and stop creating
Fake accounts on YouTube to tarnish those who are making moves

I'm happy when I write poetry or what I believe is poetry
And that comes from my soul, something you would never understand
You should see your lines, buddy, not the ones we make

Needless to say, I keep writing comfortably
And with each monologue I find a new psychologist
This is the prologue of the end of our days
You'll be left behind, you won't see that energy anymore
Day by day I give thanks for what I have
My sustenance, my food, my temple under the moon
If the wind ever takes my pen away
I'll keep smiling for my family, which is my fortune
