Canción Del Hermano Menor
Casi Creativo
Song of the Younger Brother
This shirt was my brother Enrique's
These pants were my brother Andrés's
These sneakers are killing my pinky toe
Everything's hand-me-downs, I never got to wear new
All my textbooks are filled with highlights
Full of doodles that I never drew
All my teachers have me figured out
Your brothers' reputations precede you
If I'm not fast
They won't let me eat
If I'm not fast
They won't let me speak
If I'm not fast
There's no time to share my thoughts
That's what it's like being the youngest
Being the little one has its perks too
The older ones have paved the way for you
They've fought all the battles with the parents
So you can easily get a yes
Victim of a lot of bullying since you were born
You got used to the abuse and took it well
With the attacks and insults that you've already faced
No one dares to mess with you anymore
If you're not fast
They won't let you eat
If you're not fast
They won't let you speak
If you're not fast
You can't share your thoughts
That's what it's like being the youngest
Here I am, the youngest
