Descaso Reina (Flow de Trem #03)

America, oh beloved and idolized homeland
Here neglect reigns and nothing sticks
But may God bless our slums
But may God bless the minds of these kids

Who see their mother working hard to not live in misery
Their father has been locked up for almost ten years behind bars
Kid grows up only among alleys and lanes
Known since childhood throughout the slum

And tell me, what does he want to be?
If he only lives with danger, from so much exposure
He ended up liking it and grew up seeing
That those who are doing well are not hard workers

It's a criminal without structure, this poor boy's family
Who gets lost in a world of illusion
Greed takes over the mind and heart
But stop, listen, and think, and answer with reason

What's the advantage of living in this world?
America, oh beloved and idolized homeland
Here neglect reigns and nothing sticks
But may God bless our slums
But may God bless the minds of these kids

Where everyone knows what you have, not who you are
If you have money, you're a King, if not, you're just another Joe
Kids only care about booze, money, and women

For him, it doesn't matter if he has to steal, kill, deal drugs
To avoid walking, and in the midst of all this, all values are reversed
Blind society doesn't care, doesn't see any harm in it
But tell me, where are we heading? If there's no encouragement for the kids
To fly a kite, study, play ball instead of being in crime with friends at 12

America, oh beloved and idolized homeland
Here neglect reigns and nothing sticks
But may God bless our slums
But may God bless the minds of these kids

America, oh beloved and idolized homeland
Here neglect reigns and nothing sticks
But may God bless our slums
But may God bless the minds of these kids
