Raphy Mendez

Raphael Mendez.
Alias: Raphy.
Age: 20 years.
Job: None.
Lifestyle: Listen...

He gets out of bed, just like that,
Has breakfast with the smoke of a cigarette.
Runs his hand through his head,
And his body craves a beer.
Walks towards the kitchen,
Painting his lungs with nicotine.
His desire is in the fridge,
And he feels accompanied by an ashtray.
He's planning the big move,
Takes the phone and makes a call:

Hello!
Yes? Teresa speaking.
Oh, it's me, Raphy.
Oh, dude! How are you?
Good, good.
They told me you bought a new car.
Yes, exactly, that's why I'm calling. Let's see
if we can go out, take a ride tonight?
If there's no problem.
Of course not.
So, what time do you think I can pick you up?
Does eight o'clock work for you?
Yes, yes, eight o'clock is fine.
But remember, you have to bring that stuff.
Of course, my love, you know I don't go out without it.

Poor Mendez, Raphy Mendez, poor Mendez,
His life depends solely on drugs.
He's been doing the same thing for several years,
But I know who can pull him out of that abyss (Jesus).
His life drowns in vice,
He only thinks about alcohol, women, and drugs.
Hours pass, he starts getting ready,
It's ten to eight, he must leave.
Modern clothes, after the shower,
Just as his brand-new car demands.
He looks in the rearview mirror, proud,
And carries the drugs in the luxurious car.
Money in his pocket for beer,
Ahh... Teresa is his favorite.

He leaves almost at the speed of the wind,
Accelerates like lightning and arrives just in time.
Teresa ready, already waiting for him,
She gets into the impressive machine.
Before leaving, they test the merchandise,
Trying to fill their empty lives.
The drug starts playing with his mind,
And they go out like crazy to find their environment.
They go to the club, dance a break,
She thinks she's a queen and he a king.
The night goes by and Raphy and Teresa,
Consume marijuana, cocaine, and beer.
There... Poor couple of vagabonds,
Deceived by the things the world offers.
Trying to fill that deep void,
And like half the world,
They are dying.

Hey Raphy, it's three in the morning.
Why don't you take me home?
But Teresa, the party is just getting started now.
Why?
Look, look, look, let's do something, I'll take you to my place,
We finish what's left, and then I'll take you home.
Okay, fine.
So, let's go.

Raphy takes the wheel again,
Leaves distracted like a crazy roller.
There wasn't a sign he respected,
Teresa laughed and watched him (Hahaha).
The police see that luxurious car,
At such a speed, they find it suspicious (Well).
And Raphy sees, in the rearview mirror,
Colorful lights, and steps on the accelerator.
Red light and Raphy continues,
With even more reason, the cops chase him.
And a great chase ensues,
And drugged Raphy was in the third dimension (Ohh).
And suddenly, from the Lincoln,
A car capable of causing an accident emerges.
Raphy Mendez managed to dodge it,
But couldn't stop,
And crashed into the boulevard.

The police call the ambulance,
Two young people about to die due to their ignorance.
And they didn't know what was true,
That one of them was already dead.
A night of reckless behavior,
Teresa Perez has lost her life,
It wasn't destiny, it wasn't luck,
It was her lifestyle that led her to death.

How difficult it is for youth,
To understand,
That life is a light,
That can go out at any moment.

What a shame that Teresa Perez,
Like many in the world,
Died without knowing the truth.
On the other hand,
Raphy Mendez is still alive,
But in what's left of his car,
The police found the necessary evidence
To send him to jail.

What will happen to Raphy Mendez?
Well, if you want to know...
Don't miss...
