Perdoname Ama

Yo this song's going out to all the little homies out there
That are thinking of getting into trouble
Hope this song makes you think

In the middle of the hallway I felt really lost
Everyone was going crazy
I would show my courage fighting with my sister
I thought about killing myself, my life is nothing

Unable to understand in my ignorance
My mom will suffer throughout my childhood
One day she sat me down and said: Don't be stupid
Do you think I like cleaning mirrors?

You don't know about life, my mom told me
Stop smoking and also that drink
If you don't straighten up, you'll end up in jail
By your own will, you'll destroy yourself

And those little friends who claim to be family
All they teach you are pure obscenities
Tell me how many times have they prayed a Rosary for you
All they teach you is how to be lazy

Forgive me, mom, I didn't mean to hurt you
You tried to warn me, I couldn't listen
Forgive me, mom, I didn't mean to hurt you
The love you gave me, I won't find it again

They sent me to school, I hung out with the homies
At my friend's house, I kept drinking and drinking
We did everything, we had no mercy
I was the boss of the gang, the toughest one

But everything comes to an end, the money ran out
I wanted to do a job, rob the liquor store
I didn't want to use my gun but George got excited
He shot Chino and he fell to the ground

In the middle of the chaos, I didn't know what happened
I ran to the other side and the cops caught me
She said don't move or I'll shoot you bald here
After that day, another life began

When I was in the patrol car, I thought of my mom
Now I really messed up, she'll be left alone
I remember my grandfather used to tell me
Don't be stupid, there's no gang or homeboy
That can get you out of the grave

Forgive me, mom, I didn't mean to hurt you
You tried to warn me, I couldn't listen
Forgive me, mom, I didn't mean to hurt you
The love you gave me, I won't find it again

Locked up in the pen for the rest of my life
I suffered a great pain for failing my mom
I don't know what to do, my life is lost
I'll pay the consequences, there'll be no way out

On the street I was tough but here I'm worth nothing
I'm just a number like other comrades
Although it wasn't my fault and I didn't mean to kill
If you're in gangs, the same will happen to you

Today locked up thinking about what to do
If I had stayed to study, do good
That's why I tell you to follow good steps
You have to be polite, keep studying

I broke my mother's heart
The one who gave me her blood
The one who gave birth to me and took away my hunger
I'll suffer all my life, here I'll meet death
Only God will know how my fate runs here

Forgive me, mom, I didn't mean to hurt you
You tried to warn me, I couldn't listen
Forgive me, mom, I didn't mean to hurt you
The love you gave me, I won't find it again

Forgive me, mom, I didn't mean to hurt you
You tried to warn me, I couldn't listen
Forgive me, mom, I didn't mean to hurt you
The love you gave me, I won't find it again
