Rocketman

I know you were waiting for me as much as I was
And that I was lost to tell you
I know that leaving was never the solution
But I always get closer to myself faster

Suffering is everyone's university
Calling the worst subject cleanly
In class, they already know my nickname
Because I got into the mud until I understood my madness

The wolf that howled, stepped on the Moon
He did it with the wings you never wanted to see
Now I understand that life is just one
And that the time that doesn't add or heal is the one that fades away
That there is no distance between the cradle and the grave
And the one who sells you the most light is the one who will turn yours off

There is no business in love when it's your own
Because the soul doesn't accept coins, only achievements
If I suffer, I grow, if I fight, I win
If I lose, I learn, I don't trade the peace I have for gold
The best at making rap with feelings
Is the one who knows it and the one who denies me in front of hundreds

Because he thinks the heart is not the best ingredient to put into what we do
And he thinks that by talking about his facade, we will think he's stronger, when in reality it's just the opposite of what we see
Feelings are everything, they move us
They are that feeling when it rains, that enveloping feeling

They are like hugs, sometimes they hurt
And sometimes they fill so much that you remember who you are
I know who I am, I don't care if you love me
I'm the only one who is there when you leave and hurt me

I'm the only one who is there when you lie and regret
I'm the only one, and as the only one, I must escape if you return
And to escape is to breathe, not to cowardly flee
Let's not continue deceiving people

The one who needs space is because he needs to see himself
And you who also want to see him should understand him
I'm a rocket man releasing verses
The Little Prince getting to know the universe

Understanding what it means to be an adult
Without forgetting that point of being a child at times
Because we are who we are from birth
Then we change, more or less

That's why they listen to me of any age and from any background
Because they know we will grow together to the sky
Because there is nothing worse than stagnation
And I know there are times that kill, leave a mark

But the sensitive one learns more because he endures
Knowing that there was a day when he raised the white flag
And surrendered, and was born again
Because surrendering was a trick to return
Because he had to hit rock bottom

Not just a little, he had to stain his skin
He had to feel his feet and the thorns
To understand that not everything is roses when you walk
He had to step right on top of a mine
And decide whether to take a step at the risk of losing his life

But life is not lost when you doubt or stumble
It is lost when you advance without believing in your greatness
It is lost if you don't see that when it starts
There is already someone waiting for you and kissing you
It is lost if you don't see that sadness is just another card on the table
Life is the bank, the rivals your head
And I know it's heavy, because it never stops

But this is about endurance until Caesar lowers his finger
If you put your heart into it, you pay a price
If you don't, the emptiness becomes immense
And I, who sometimes despise myself
I tell you that I wouldn't change being so intense for anything

Because I live the moments as unique
As if they were the last
I don't count people as numbers from my pulpit
I feel like one more and look at the audience

And they know it, it's felt at first sight
There is the one who eats the world and the one who conquers it
I am the second, because more than an artist
I consider that my pencil battled against their lists

Make short songs, you will succeed sooner
Now they say: Do what you want, you are already among the greats
And me in the middle of the Andes like a condor
Flying to Mexico City with a layover in Boston
I'm a traveler, an open heart full of holes

That fits bullets better than I don't love you
That cries when he sees a hat and remembers his grandfather
But has the courage to face whatever comes next
This is my way of understanding this gift
That my mother gave me with an idea
She knew I had bad sides
But she also saw the magic and wanted someone else to see it
And I see her at thirty, look if it's magic
That I feel her running through my body like a hemorrhage

And it wasn't a coup de grâce, it was a stance
Because magic can't be seen if you look at it with doubts
So it is with everything, and at these heights
I know that doing everything halfway is a sure defeat
And I know there are deep wounds that don't heal
And that to see clearly sometimes you have to walk in the dark

The boy who trembled in the flute exam
Now he's an astronaut because he had no ceiling
Now he doesn't follow any guidelines but his heart
And they call him from the classroom to explain what he's done

And I don't want a statue in the middle of the square
I want the one who feels like a statue to face his fears
The Black Wolf has returned
We've done it again and you
