A tangle that can kill me
A lie can finish me
A feeling can overshadow me
Bad energy wants to touch me

I keep following the moon looking for my place
To roots that should not be cut
You plant a tree, you must take care of it
If you don't, it will make you sick

Put on your shoes, go for a walk
If something weighs you down, leave it behind
Some friends will hold you back
You will encounter many paths

Worlds within worlds will paint you
How to get out? So easy to get in
We slip and no one is there
And if you're not there, they take your place

Your friend was left over for a shorty
They were just for the moment, homie
I knew him ten years ago
He chose a pussy over making more money
And a gang that would pull him down

And a friend like me who would open doors for him
And show him another path
To recognize artists he didn't know anyone
Now they are superstars, but kept by their parents
And me, a lifetime alone, fighting to be someone
My faculty is fire and surviving in the streets

I didn't run from the fire
When the flame caught me every morning
I didn't eat from its damn temptation
When life softened me

You must beware of love and drugs
Freedom alone tightens the noose
I'm another man from the poor neighborhood
How many stay? How many would succeed?

How many obstacles would I overcome to get where I always wanted?
How many brothers would sell me out
For women who weren't even mine?
They were with me pretending to be gangsters
Love of a pipe, of a Pontius Pilate

Cejaz my name, what I've learned I've taught
Crack my family, since I was a kid, chiki-shh-pum
I cut off the steps of clown friends
Bad weeds from the low neighborhoods
That's how life taught me

I am a lover of herbs that grow with the sun, only with water
The seed of pure earth and all its hope
I learned that it's time to correct the faces that held me back
That if I made a mistake
I had to learn from it so as not to mess up again

And where will I be? When will I leave?
The last day when will I live?
I felt that today was the day I always dreamed of
From that neighborhood where I grew up

The desire to be and to know
To listen and not talk about what I don't know
To speak just to please
And where will I be? When will I leave?
The last day when will I live?

I felt that today was the day I always dreamed of
From that neighborhood where I grew up
The desire to be and to know
To listen and not talk about what I don't know
To speak just to please

And I wanted to be good, but from the street I was always a hostage
And I survived the cruel struggle
Where the strongest has the power
And without studying you will only be another employee
A state car and they will do
Whatever the hell they want
With you and your whole family

You know, don't drink soda
That supports wars and multinational companies
Support the fruits of your country
Drink natural juices
Support your country
