HOY VUELVO A EMPEZAR

In the end, I ended up cutting ties
My brothers hustle even when they ain't got jobs
Dragging my shit like a beetle
God bless the mother who brought me here

To be on top, you gotta know how to be down low
My dad taught me how to take the shortcuts
I offer my hand, but they grab my arm
I head to the block and let the smoke from my joint go

I don’t want snitches close to me
I’d come home and my parents always fought
I was on the corner, so you wouldn’t understand
I’d rather be a thief than be a cop

From fighting so much, I got attached
I don’t know if my heart’s made of aluminum
I remember when I was just a kid
Watching my mom go through that damn chemo

And it’s tough (and it’s tough), being broke
When your family turns their back on you in hard times
My mom once told me if I couldn’t break it down
Then just jump over that wall in the end

My brothers got my back
They protect me, watch my six (watch my six)
I ended up with you watching that dawn
Thinking about healing the wounds in my soul

I don’t say it with pride
Our perspective will never be like yours
If there’s trouble, I never run
I build my stability and then I destroy it

On the street rapping with my friends
Looking for some distracted tourist
I don’t know if we chose it
Take away my dance, I celebrate what I’ve lived

Where do the hugs go that we never gave?
Tell me, where do the promises go that we never kept?
And the memories of our past are left behind
Tell me where they’ll go, tell me where they’ll go

I’m ten thousand kilometers from you
You’re not here, but I feel you so close to me
The minute hand moves slow and I’m running against time
This poison inside me is killing me
And I keep looking for the moment to find you, baby

Today I start again
To fight to beat the nerves and kill the anxiety
And to erase the memories that hurt and make me cry
I’m not wasting any more time suffering, I’m gonna make it
I know I’m gonna make it

And I start again
To fight to beat the nerves and kill the anxiety
And to erase the memories that hurt and make me cry
I’m not wasting any more time suffering, I’m gonna make it
I know I’m gonna make it, I know I’m gonna make it
