Mi Canción

Maybe you hear every day that every song
Talks about love, about fun, but rarely reflection
This song's about someone I see
Every morning in the mirror, yeah, I know, it's me

I might have a bit of a narcissistic streak
But that's normal, I live for me, not for anyone else
My steps are a little megalomaniac, I know
But still, now and then, I suppress my ego

If my honesty offends the world, that's just my condition
I'm the rawness of this world turned into a song
Better dead than silent about what my voice expresses
'Cause the meaning of my life is all an illusion

I went from a dream to being something more
Like my rhymes transforming into a song
In the past, I never recorded my speech
But I wrote it down, and now I hear myself through the speaker

Time has passed by so, so fast
I remember wanting to do Hip Hop when I was 9
I dropped it after writing a few verses
At 18, I picked it back up, and now at 22

I'm the night owl who expressed
Thoughts from the past that never screamed
But I do it now, period, I'm
Gonna describe what my life is and what it was before today

I never listened to music in Spanish
I did it in English without worrying about translation
Only the feelings that the rhythm created mattered
And that the meter fit with rhymes and the voice

I don't know how to explain it, or what happened
But suddenly I found myself without any control
Obsessed with the rhymes that the voice records
I saw shapes in the rhythm, painting Hip Hop, just like that

And suddenly I'm inside a song
And I don't know how much I've changed from who I am now
I won't limit ways of expression ever
Not even if they try to stop my way of thinking and singing

And suddenly I'm inside a song
And I don't know how much I've changed from who I am now
I won't limit ways of expression ever
Not even if they try to stop my way of thinking and singing

I was never a purist of Hip Hop, not at all
I change the rhythm, evolve, I want to surpass
What I've left in my legacy, I know I can do more
Every moment I turn into an opportunity

I'm the kind of person who would rather
Stay home with a book than go out to a party or bar
I'm the kind of person who won't dance
And yet I'll make songs that others will groove to

I'm that kid who'll write
On beats to dance to, lyrics with something real
Not caring what they say, I want to innovate
'Cause what I love most is creativity

In high school, I didn't pass Spanish class
'Cause I didn't memorize the types of verses
And now I could teach my teacher
About spelling, poetry, and composition

'Cause I'm self-taught and I know
What truly helps me, I love to learn
But not what they ask in school out of duty
'Cause degrees are just another piece of paper

I'm controversial in education
While I love it, I don't love today's school
What I love most is what I do and self-reflection
'Cause I don't stop, I'm the magician of my own world

I can't stop, I can't slow down
All this magic that flows like a wave in the sea
I want to shout, I want to express
To the whole world what I keep in this skull, no less

I can't imagine my life without rap
For a long time, I doubted if I would achieve this
And now I thank myself for writing without stopping
'Cause when I least expected it, my dream was true and more

And suddenly I'm inside a song
And I don't know how much I've changed from who I am now
I won't limit ways of expression ever
Not even if they try to stop my way of thinking and singing

And suddenly I'm inside a song
And I don't know how much I've changed from who I am now
I won't limit ways of expression ever
Not even if they try to stop my way of thinking and singing

And suddenly I'm inside a song
And I don't know how much I've changed from who I am now
I won't limit ways of expression ever
Not even if they try to stop my way of thinking and singing

And suddenly I'm inside a song
And I don't know how much I've changed from who I am now
I won't limit ways of expression ever
Not even if they try to stop my way of thinking and singing
