Compositor Del Año

Ey, ey, ey

As a child, altar boy, as an adult, trap artist
And a couple more things I did for money
I've never been faithful, hey, not even to my barber
A superstar, but human first

I have them running and I'm not a coach
But that's good, I push them to be better
F extbf{ckin' R, we grew up in the heat
That's the detail that makes me a winner

In France, I'm a cursed songwriter
The haters don't feel it, my day was beautiful
But it was ruined by a shooting by a white guy
And a motherf extbf{cking president who doesn't do sh extbf{t

Black Lives Matter, may Kobe rest in peace
2020 and racism is worse than COVID
A black man with a gun, that's a criminal
But a white guy hooks up with it and they say it's a hobby

What happened, Christian? Doesn't Jesus look at us anymore?
Or do you expect him to turn around to watch the güira?
I do have values, that doesn't expire
The truth hurts them, they prefer lies

But Little Richard was always better than Elvis
And the baby boomers are no longer babies
Woman didn't come from man's rib
It was us who came out of her pelvis

They say I got songwriter of the year
But not for what really harms us
For God's sake, lady, there are more important things
Than sitting criticizing a singer's achievements

Like encouraging young people to vote
And get rid of those who screwed us before
Above my career, I put my people first
But there's always a fool who tries to treat us as ignorant

More important things
Like fighting for immigrants' rights
Like yesterday another bastard killed his lover
Like the American dream exists until you wake up

And it's tough not being allowed to breathe
And a badge is a license to kill
But being white is what makes you lethal
And being black is what makes you a target, hey

Easy to shoot
And it's tough to go to church to pray
And run the risk of being violated
That's worse than sinning and I can't stop it, because

If I could change the world, I swear I would
And if my money could end poverty, I'd give it all
But no, it's not my fault
Before I was born, all this already existed

All we have left is to teach and learn, live and grow
Understand that there will always be something that will hurt us
Have faith, believe that it will be possible
To be me, let you be you
That's the best prize I can have
