La Historia de Mi Vida

The stage lights went out
That's where I return to my sad reality
It's that without you, Daniel, all this no longer makes sense
They say Phantom Joyce doesn't write the songs
With his hands
I swear on my life that I wrote this with my heart

January twelfth, ninety-eight
The first page of the book of my life is written
They talked about me, all sorts of lies
But the real one I'll tell you right away
I grew up surrounded by evil since I was a child
I didn't even know Christmas
My friends with toys in their hands
While I held my brothers in each hand
I was a child without heroes and I met heroin
And for a long time, it became my neighbor

I wasn't a singer or famous but
Ask around, they knew me on the corner
I lived everything they told you
I was a bad example and that's why they locked me up
Maybe they silenced my voice but I'm sure of something
They never silenced my heart
I've learned to walk on fire to avoid crying
I know that with time, I'll learn to forget

I've learned to walk on fire to avoid crying

I remember it as if it were yesterday
I was a very rebellious and troublesome child
Problems started at home
I'd escape from school
And if I didn't, I'd get kicked out
Because I'd fight
I know it's hard to live among gunshots
I'd go out to the street high and always armed
The neighborhood where I grew up was called Los Sauces
And I'm sure it will also be where I die
My mom got sick, my dad had no job
We went through tough times, we hit rock bottom
There was nothing to eat, let alone to study
So you know that I really come from the bottom
Hopeless, my heart dead
I was thirteen and already running a point
Something for consumption, a sixteen for sale
Lead for the cops, problem solved
And it's not easy to live the life as I've lived it
While I write my songs, I hear the shots
I never gave up because this is my destiny
And for Daniel, I swear I was born for this
Between smoke and alcohol, I wrote my songs
So that one day I could exchange lyrics for millions
Get off drugs, travel the whole world
And be known as the singer of the rappers
I've learned to walk on fire to avoid crying
I know that with time, I'll learn to forget

I've learned to walk on fire to avoid crying

Sapito died, the crew doesn't forget you
Mariche killed herself, your memory lives on
Dad left me at the worst possible moment
Tell me, what good is it to be number one?
Daniel, without you, life makes no sense
Since you left, my heart has been wounded
Life paid me with more than I deserved
But it took away everything I loved the most
My grandpa and grandma watch over me from above
And despite my falls, no one knocks me down
I still remember their wise words
Let the envious ones waste their saliva
I've been compared, arrested, criticized for my lyrics
And I know they've killed me with their mouths
But tell just one to say it to my face
I highly doubt my name fits in their mouth
But what can I do if my life is a mess?
I do good with my right, mess up with my left
I dreamed on the radio, even appeared on TV
My pocket is full, my heart empty
The day I die, I don't want tears
Because I got what I deserved
Light a joint in my name
And never forget the cupid killer

I've learned to walk on fire to avoid crying
I know that with time, I'll learn to forget

I've learned to walk on fire to avoid crying

When I was a child, I believed that with money and fame I'd be happy
Nowadays, I'm so close to money and fame
And believe me, I feel so far from happiness
Now they're going to talk about me, ah!
If you don't know anything about my life
That I'm a womanizer, everyone knows that
That I'm an addict, everyone knows that
And part of the band
Donatelo and the womanizers
Destined to be a star
The king of romantic rap
The singer of the rappers
The cupid killer
I wish you were by my side so I could tell you I love you
