De La Calle Soy
R.K.M & Ken Y
From the Streets I Am
Chorus>>
Every day I ask the Lord
To watch over me wherever I go
I don't know if that's my curse
Or my blessing, or my damnation
From the streets I am
From the streets I am
To the streets I go
From the streets I am
In the street war, I keep surviving
Seeing many strange things, I swear
This is hell
This is the school where I had to learn
Where the right hand cuts the left
Where if you act tough, you won't eat s***
Where gunshots are the daily bread
And even a cat is willing to do misdeeds
I have the big shots disguised as small-timers
If a cop sees you, he won't even tickle you
These are rules, not child's play
And if you don't identify yourself, my kite will throw you here
Every day I ask the Lord
To watch over me wherever I go
I don't know if that's my curse
Or my blessing, or my damnation
From the streets I am
From the streets I am
To the streets I go
From the streets I am
In my neighborhood, while some sleep, others start a shootout
And every minute we see blood on the sidewalk
Bullets fly and the streets are hot
If lives are lost, many of them are innocent people
In this world where the rich live and no one listens to the poor
And in the streets is where you learn how to handle things
The little pessimist, son, the kid here is very calm
They caught him at the airport with 70 kilos
The chubby one, the one who used to be funny when he talked
Today he's in jail and controls the mafia from the inside
Someone explain to me if this is life or if we're in hell
In this world where we don't even trust the government
We've seen parents who don't show love to their children
And we've heard of priests who have violated children
Prophets pass by preaching morality in their underwear
And now 13-year-olds are pulling the trigger
Don't judge the alcoholic or the addict
For they are people who still don't know Christ
I don't know if this is my curse or my blessing
My God, deliver me from all temptation
Every day I ask the Lord
To watch over me wherever I go
I don't know if that's my curse
Or my blessing, or my damnation
From the streets I am
From the streets I am
To the streets I go
From the streets I am
