Know The Story
It hasn't been easy all that I've been through
All the problems that I've faced alone
But I survived, and now I'm here
Because God always stood by my side
I invite you to walk through the streets where I walked
Between the road and the alley where I grew up
Where your venomous tongue was cut off
And one false step would make you die
Among the characters that were in my scenario
I survived and decided one day to leave my neighborhood
With five bucks, I went to try my luck
Without family, in search of my dreams and not speaking the language
To those I told my dream, it made them laugh
They called me a skinny dog dreaming of sausage
When I was hungry, you weren't there
When a car hit me, you didn't see me
When oppression suffocated me and I was shattered
When there were no applause, no smiles
There was only frustration, many tears, and laments
But a dream that consumed me every day inside
That drove me and made me deaf to foolish comments
I focused and determined even if I experienced contempt
I trusted, walked against the strong wind
And I made my dream come true because I paid the price
Many know the glory
They see me riding a luxury car
Surrounded by crowds and lots of shine
Being in a port locked up without anyone to help me
With no money in my pocket
Friends everywhere, fans screaming loudly
To the chorus your name
Take a look at yesterday's drama
That I owe everything to the son of man
They say I'm a hypocrite
Because sometimes I talk about God
Because I know the word but sing reggaeton
Don't talk to me about morals, much less hypocrisy
Because Judas was a disciple but he sold out the messiah
Then they say my music is a bad example
Talk to me about the pastors who only dirty the temple
Talking nonsense, living off people's backs
With the Bible under their arm and a Rolex president
Little brother who never misses church on Sundays
Tell me how many times a day you kneel down and pray like I do
And thank God
Instead of criticizing and talking without reason
It hasn't been easy all that I've been through
All the problems that I've faced alone
But I survived and now I'm here
Because God always stood by my side
Many know the glory
They see me riding a luxury car
Surrounded by crowds and lots of shine
Being in a port locked up without anyone to help you
With no money in your pocket
Friends everywhere, fans screaming loudly
To the chorus your name
Take a look at yesterday's drama
That I owe everything to the son of man
