Cosas De La Vida

(babo)
Even being in prison,
Inspiration came to me,
And my pen flew over the paper
To tell you what happened
And why I was locked up,
The state said it was premeditated murder
Come on, I've never said I'm an angel
I'm the watchdog of my neighborhood and my place
Of my people and my clique and everyone who supports me
Ulysses was a buddy and also a good person,
I remember that afternoon when you came to visit me
Just to warn me
That the traitor Miguel Chavez was planning to kill me
To be on guard because the guy carries a gun
All he talked about was that he was going to kill me,
I thanked you for the information and said goodbye to you
I told you to come back later to have a drink
Because right now I'm working on fixing some beats
You said it's been a while, I'll see you here

[chorus x2:]
How things are in life
I keep you in my memory, I don't forget you
You were always my buddy since you arrived in the neighborhood
And the whole crew knows we used to hang out daily

I stayed in the studio working for a while,
Mery Dee came up to see if I wanted to have dinner
I told her I'll be down in a moment, let me turn off the equipment
Go carefully
Because Miguel is very crazy and talking a lot of nonsense
That's what Ulysses says and I believe him
Several of my dogs already told me about that issue
And like in Babylon, the ladder is on the outside
When I hear Mery shouting, I rush out
I looked around looking for my wife
But two parked trucks were blocking my view
As I was already warned, I had my gun with me
I went out to confront him in the middle of the block
And there was Miguel with one hand behind his back
He said you've reached the end, I'm going to mess you up
I didn't think twice, I pulled out the gun right away
But to calm things down, I shot at the ground

[chorus:]
How things are in life
I keep you in my memory, I don't forget you
You were always my buddy since you arrived in the neighborhood
And the whole crew knows we used to hang out daily
How things are in life
I keep you in my memory, I don't forget you
You were always my buddy since you arrived in the neighborhood
And the whole crew knows we used to roll together daily

Miguel Chavez feels like he's a god
Says he even mocks what happened
He comes out playing the victim on television
But everyone knows he's a big mouth,
And to my buddy Ulysses who came to cover me at the corner
A stray bullet took his life,
You know, buddy, it wasn't even your problem
You've always been a buddy, you've always been part of the crew
Everyone in Santa Catarina knows that
As they know that Miguel's mind was already rotten
What do you expect from a scumbag who points a gun at his own mother
Hits his sister and leaves them without a home
I was behind bars, almost lost my life
But you stood up to all of my pack
After I gave you shelter, clothes, and food
As the correspondents said on TV
Juan Miguel Chavez, you suffer from mental illness
