El Mismo de Ayer

It's not that I like being alone
It's just that I feel better this way
That way, the betrayal from those who talk about me doesn't hurt
Who say they're my friends
That's why I keep to myself
Because I only trust myself
But I'd give my life for my people

And even if they think they know me
They're gonna say that I've changed
That I'm not the same as yesterday
But that's not true
It's just that they think they know me
And they're gonna say that I've changed
That I'm not the same as yesterday
But that's not true
It's just that I'm tired

Of those who say they support me but it's not real
Because now I don't have fame, let alone cash
Surely when I make it big, they'll call me
And even if they say I've changed, I'll respond
Because that's just how I am, it comes naturally
I thank God for putting me in my place
What the haters say doesn't make me doubt
I'll stay true to what I have, they can suck it

I've tried to leave all this behind
But the truth is, that's just not me
A lot of people say they support me
But it's not from the heart and it doesn't mean a thing
Those who take my stuff as a joke

Better go find your blankets
To keep you warm when you're freezing
That's what defines who’s real
I love to flow over instrumentals

The haters want me to stop
But there are several voices telling me to keep going
Keep going, my soul gets inspired and my heart bursts
It's time for them to know me, I'll always be the same
For my ideals

And even if they think they know me
They're gonna say that I've changed
That I'm not the same as yesterday
But that's not true
It's just that they think they know me
And they're gonna say that I've changed
That I'm not the same as yesterday
But that's not true
It's just that I'm tired

I must admit that sometimes you have to lose
This case won't be one of them
And that will soon be seen
I have many reasons to be strong

If you're listening, I promise that
If you're with me, we'll meet at the top
I'm ready to tear up the stage
I need to have more consistency and more discipline

Let me warn you, this isn't over
It's not that I like being alone
It's just that I feel better this way
That way, the betrayal from those who talk about me doesn't hurt

Who say they're my friends
That's why I keep to myself
Because I only trust myself
But I'd give my life for my people
