Mi Viejo (feat. Alemán)

He's a good guy, my old man

Since he was a kid, he was a rapper
Back in the eighties, he was from Taxco, Guerrero
He had fourteen siblings and they started from scratch
They never fell down, even on days they went without food

There was no money for school, so they got to work
Looking for cash, the dude became a silversmith
As a young man, he met Yaneth, his true love
They fell for each other the moment they met

Yeah, yeah
They were nineteen when they had a kid
And searching for a better future, they moved to Cabo
A solid and honest guy, never a traitor
And what he always said was that family comes first

He was good at boxing, they called him El Gallo Giro
They said he was the best in the neighborhood for a fight
He earned my respect, and that's why I admire him
A drink for the ground and a kiss to the sky

With feeling, I bring him to mind
He always supported his son at every moment
Sir, this is a recognition for you
Because there was always food on the table

He's a good guy, my old man
Who walks alone and waits
He's a good guy, my old man
Who walks alone and waits

Yeah, I'm gonna tell you a story, it's kinda like a ballad
Hated by some, loved by others
Born in Durango, he flew the nest young
To make a life for himself, to give weight to the name

He was involved in something, but hey, no judgment
Living isn't the same as surviving, gotta accept that
He left me some advice, a photo in the mirror
To never let me down, especially not by some idiot

My old man, I miss you, you know what I'm talking about
They see me in the clouds, I just came to say hi
I light up two to forget everything that weighs me down
Not even this giant house or my beautiful girlfriend

Can fill this void I feel in my chest
I look for you in the stars from this fancy roof
I keep my promise, I made pain work for me
What you dreamed of one day, now I've made it real

He's a good guy, my old man
Who walks alone and waits
He's a good guy, my old man
Who walks alone and waits

He's a good guy, my old man
Who walks alone and waits
