Desde Afuera (feat. Gera MX)

Now that I'm here
Looking at it from the outside
How many dreams it stole from me
That damn border

What memories, what a country
That gave us so much money
The girl calls me daddy
I hope you come back soon

What a tough reality
Surviving this way
The family hasn't eaten
And it's driving me crazy at home

I have an uncle on the other side
Of that damn border
Where dreams come true
And goals are surpassed

I keep dreaming big
Even when I sometimes don't want to
I want to succeed in the States
Without forgetting my flag

Three mansions for my mom
If I can, the whole block
How sad that life
Isn't what they said it would be

I'm going to cross without permission
Unless God doesn't want it
The coyote swore to me
That he knows the way

I have such big reasons
To make it happen out there
Play me the songs by Codiciado
In case I don't cross and die

I'm going to cross without permission
Unless God doesn't want it
The coyote swore to me
That he knows the way

I have such big reasons
To make it happen out there
Play me the songs by Codiciado
In case I don't cross and die

Now that I'm here
Looking at it from the outside
How many dreams it stole from me
That damn border

What memories, what a country
That gave us so much money
The girl calls me daddy
I hope you come back soon

I want to count more bills
And fewer scars
May God protect my Latinos
And the border patrol checks them

I remember our childhood
Full of games and laughter
Now it's been years since we saw each other
Because of something they call a visa

In a hurry, running
Because time doesn't forgive
In search of money
The family gets abandoned

I'm telling you the story
Of thousands of people
Who left for the dream
So their kids can eat

You separate me from the girl
You push my goals further away
It's tough, but the dream
Continues like on the sidewalk

When the sun didn't rise
When we went to school
When I had no money
When I had no way

Time is my reflection
And it will be until I die
And I keep thinking about
How all this would be

Life gave us a good gift
That I don't mix with anyone
Even though the border exists
There will always be a way

Now that I'm here
Looking at it from the outside
How many dreams it stole from me
That damn border
