Aprendí

I learned that life has its ups and downs
That you meet a thousand people but only one marks you
That a thousand successes are erased by one mistake
That what hurts you the most is what hooks you

That resentment and envy are just poison
That you'll never be okay if you keep everything inside
That even from bad things something good can come out
That there are people who hate each other because one day they loved each other

That the smartest eats the strongest, I learned it on the street
That I had to do it myself or no one would do it
That if something bad happens to me, I suffer and keep it to myself
That as soon as I trust someone, they let me down
That I try to forgive, you don't know, but I can't
That promises are worthless
That it still hurts
That I keep overthinking when I'm alone
That deceiving oneself is useless, you never forget everything

I learned to move forward when things go wrong
Not to give up, to be consistent
To shut up anyone who doesn't believe, and hit them in the teeth
To trust myself and love myself
That if something doesn't work out, maybe it's destiny
Not to let anyone mess with what's mine
To lose, but not to give up
That even the strongest cry when they're screwed

And I wanted money and respect when I was a kid
To sell to have a car at 18 and boom, get a car
To steal to have the coolest clothes in my closet
To paint to see my name on the wall in every neighborhood
With time I learned that my age doesn't reflect my years
That these eyes have seen too much
Too much accumulated anger and hatred leave you scarred
I wasn't born strong, what happened to me made me strong

Circumstances made us strong and I had problems!
You learn when you lose what you bet
Handcuffed in a patrol car and I'm thinking of her
Little one, I swear I'm getting away from this shit!
Ocer, you and I learned to steal to sell
Happy kids even though we were short on cash
Inseparable, doing business on the street
From you I learned that together no one can stop us

Me, my brother
You taught me not to hit the brakes
That if it seems crazy, we do it
I remember you and me with our backs against the wall
Saying we're not leaving here
Unless our pockets are full

Rolling all messed up in Torrete, relax
Act normal and if they catch you, run
It's good to know who loves you and who screws you over
Someone who hands you a tissue
Who caresses you when you cry

I learned that no one can fill this void
That I feel everything more under the rain, in the cold
That my heart is mine, that those of us who
Silently endure the pain are the only ones who live it

Sweeping away everything in the way
When you've lived so much, you forget fear
Respect was quickly learned in the neighborhood
Ocer and Rade, brother, my little brothers full of nerves

We learned that everything goes away but first it sticks with you
To appreciate things when they're gone
Our family, love, desire
The most beautiful things in this life are the ones that end
We learned that everything goes away but first it sticks with you
To appreciate things when they're gone
Our family, love, desire
The most beautiful things in this life are the ones that end
