Soledad

On the side of the stage, time watches
The crowd is waiting for their release
People shout while he prays
Thinking of his loved ones, he prays to the saints

The silent mystique before the act
Keeps the bad vibes off the stage
When he climbs up, the crowd cheers him on
He thanks them and settles on the platform
Enjoying like a kid with light on his lips

For a moment, he forgets the everyday
It’s not for the audience, that’s clear
Just pulling out my dick? Nah, that poisons my song
The sickness that eats me from within
I carry a sorrow that causes my breaks

An inheritance of pain flowing in my veins
That anxiety I only release through rapping
It’s the talent I was given as a kid
The star that guides me in my despair

Incomprehensible to everyone but necessary
Even if my voice sometimes goes off-key
The undeniable truth of what I sing holds strong

I’m a handful of laughter and tears
I’m like the wind whispering
Sometimes I feel like a fool
Heartbroken and grieving

Drowning in relentless solitude, solitude
It’s just that nobody understands me
Because nobody cries with me
Only with my fate
For wandering and wandering

A kiss soaked in liquor and a goodbye
The curtains fall, the lights go out
On the stage, a bitterness
The misunderstanding of gestures
The loneliness of fame

The silence behind the curtain
Because nobody understands me
Because nobody cries with me
Only with my fate, going on stage
Smiling and singing

I came into this world alone and I’ll die a solo act
Don’t insist, it’s not a narcissistic speech
It’s the passage of years flowing on a track
I never labeled myself an artist
Just a voice among many in the freestyle

Another neighborhood MC with a journalist's mind
Writing his story without ever being selfish, humility stays intact
Without thinking I’m the main character
Sometimes for many, and other times in front of few
With the same dedication, tears in my eyes
I learned that music is richer, more spiritual

That every concert is a natural ritual
Outside, nothing is ever guaranteed
Yesterday you had it all, today nobody by your side
Success and frustration can sabotage you
I learned to stay alert, never to get too comfortable

Don’t tell me anything
If the feeling marked every step I took
Don’t tell me anything
If the hits and instincts made me grow up
Don’t tell me anything
If life took care of giving me what I expected

For better or worse, nananai
Sometimes I feel like a fool
Heartbroken and grieving
Drowning in relentless solitude, solitude

It’s just that nobody understands me
Because nobody cries with me
Only with my fate
For wandering and wandering
It’s just that nobody understands me
Because nobody cries with me
Only with my fate for wandering and wandering
