Dejarse La Piel

It's El Chojin
It's me, it's me

You know? This is like trying to
Connect with the whole world
Being alone in your room

Not long ago
They would have called you crazy
But I keep going!

Looking for a way
To make them hear me
When I write these things
That sometimes I don't even understand

I listen to that demon
Sitting on my shoulder
And to my surprise I discover
That he's right again

He tells me not to empathize with rappers
With simple lyrics
And even if they're your buddies
Go out and eat them up

The industry is a jungle
If you don't roar, they won't listen
And you either fight for your territory
Or another lion will come

That's why I spend time
With my notebook
Because by training, I defend
The income of my position

They can't displace me
Not even with nuclear weapons
I came to stay and they know it
I'm stubborn

The key is so simple
That I don't know why they don't do it
It's about working late
And then working more and better

There's no place for lazy
Or slow, or for softies
They've been deceived
An artist is a worker!

Hey! It's like they tell you but the other way around
Art is not a hobby
It's work, it's stress
It's hours of effort
And leaving your skin
Many don't see it but, but

Sure! I could show off
And tell the world
That I have a perfect job
And that everything is fun

The gigs, the girls
The compliments, the TV
The photos, are all part of it
It's true and I won't say no
But

If you're looking for that and you think
It falls from the sky
I'll read your future for free
And without using a tarot

You're going to be shocked
When life tells you
Dude, dreaming is cool
But here I am

Why do you think only
A few reach glory
And even fewer manage
To stay and endure the pull

It's not so much the pressure
Or the competition
It's because many don't assimilate
That it's a profession
And better

The more rappers
Live in that mistake
The more space I'll have
For my voice to grow
Because

I do understand
That maintaining what I have
Involves being attentive
And always giving you my best!

There's nothing more gratifying
Than seeing how you've achieved it
After working
Years from sunrise to sunset
So

Without offending you
Better don't wish me luck
Wish that I am persistent
In my struggle to be better

Hey! It's like they tell you but the other way around
Art is not a hobby
It's work, it's stress
It's hours of effort
And leaving your skin
Many don't see it but, but

Hey! It's like they tell you but the other way around
Art is not a hobby
It's work, it's stress
It's hours of effort
And leaving your skin
Many don't see it but, but

Hey!

It's leaving your skin
It's leaving your skin
Hey!
