Elige Tu Camino

At nine in the morning you're in class
Half asleep
Once again at school the teacher asks you
You didn't do your homework?

Miss, I had a headache
I couldn't finish the sentences
No problem
The nerd in the class has them

And when he goes to the board
You and your friend remember
That afternoon playing Fifa on the console
Some donuts for snack

Some goals
And some laughs
Childhood is so beautiful
When there was no rush

Shall we play on the console?
I choose Brazil!
No, you always pick it!
At recess

You insult the studious kid
And he doesn't reply
The quiet kid who never spoke up
They're hitting me, miss

How cruel kids can be
When someone makes a mistake!
I remember when they laughed at me
Because I didn't have a brand

The sports shoes
I wore those days
Dad, I want
The gray striped Yumas

No, son, we can't
We'll see what I can do next month
And they laughed at me
Kids, how cruel

Dad, buy me the Yumas
I told you there's no money
Yeah, right! There's never money!
Kids, you're almost teenagers

Compulsory secondary education
What a surprise
The teasing with the girls
Looking for pads in their bags

You're growing up
And the tough guy is smoking a cigarette
Here, smoke
Cough, gross!

Why do you smoke?
Because it can't be that bad
Since they smoke on TV
And your older brother smokes

Forget it, it's not healthy
Life is tough
And studying is necessary
The street betrays you

Just like the neighborhood betrays you
Remember when we talked?
You failed six, brother
I thought about your future

I looked out the window
I could see it clearly!
Those street thugs
Living a rough life all day

Proud because they steal
They deceive you and lead you to drugs
I'll help you with your studies, you can be sure of that
Culture is the weapon that will defend what's yours in the future

How many did you fail?
Six
And you're okay with that? What do you want, to be a loser?
Well, keep it up, you'll regret it your whole life, Raúl
Even though we still carry a child inside
We're adults now
Very few make it to college

Regretful are those who could
And yet out of laziness they didn't study
Most kids, with their resumes in hand
Waiting for that awaited call

Telling them there's a job
That's life, isn't it?
You fall in love
And sometimes unintentionally get your girlfriend pregnant

Now you need a home, a love nest for a baby
I don't know how we're going to do it
Woman, don't cry
We'll make it

I go to the bank with my father to apply for a loan
Things are heating up
Let's hope they grant us the money
Wait a moment, director

You and I know each other
The bank director was the nerd
Remember?
That kid who studied his heart out
While you played on the console
