Valores

I'm bleeding inside like a waterfall
Becoming food and grass for the rats
You were there in the good times but in the bad
When problems came, you ran away
I live in 4 walls, a prisoner, this is Guantánamo
I hear voices in my mind and can't deal with that scandal

Music is my life, but they tell me to quit
And my worst fears come back to my hypothalamus
Life is just one, we're nothing in the cosmos
I think looking at the moon that we die so soon
I tried to rebuild myself and ended up in ruins
And sometimes I want to cry but can't find a shoulder

And I don't want to be a man, I want to be a kid
Playing with the ball and dreaming of being a soccer player
Now I waste my talent like Ronaldinho did
And I write songs, some call me an artist
And no one bleeds on a sheet like before
I want to read poetry that hurts
Not those motivating phrases, (you'll have a great day)

In little cups with smiles that dumb down the herd
I'm the black sheep, attracting all the looks
For saying what everyone thinks but to their face
If you do it behind my back, you're worth nothing to me
And you have less value than a man without word
And I am the dignity of Latin America

Fighting the invader and if necessary with his life
Because if the people unite, they will defeat those above
Because every person in this world deserves dignity
And that's a fact, there's no discussion about it
There may be a God, religion is a lie
Thousands of religions that have existed on earth
Then how do you know yours is the right one?

And I believe in science, empirical ideas
In defending ideals, but always with a critical mind
In physics, in chemistry, and in equality
In solidarity, ultimately in the truth
If you have a real dream, go chase it
And if you fail, at least you tried

It's enough for me to be told I can't to achieve it
To be thrown to the ground to get back up
Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fall in love too
And like everyone else, I've felt lonely
I have people in my life worth more than treasure
And others I distanced myself from because they destroyed everything and I miss them
Even though the volcano has gone out

Because where there was fire, ashes still remain
And no matter how much they spread, they'll never die
Because a wound closes but leaves a scar
Because a plate breaks and you can fix it
But it's still broken even if you refuse to accept it
Because we give our time to those who hurt us the most
Neglecting the person who was there to comfort us

Life is amazing but damn it's so short
And we don't even distinguish what really matters
And if it doesn't contribute, then period
Apart from your life, those who only know how to harm you
Women are not sluts, they are women
And if she says no, it means no, get it?

And she can sleep with whoever she wants
Without some asshole coming to call her a whore
I fell into that too, to rectify is wise
Now I fight in my present to repair that damage
Men don't cry, men should be tough
And for me, a man is exactly the opposite
It's crying if you're hurt, not being afraid to say it
It's treating your family with respect and affection
Educating your daughters and sons with values
And eradicating selfishness, machismo from their system
I want to be free, I achieve it in these texts
I feel like Nach, writing Manifesto
And I don't protest even though I made mistakes
I faced them doing this, not with loser tears

And I know there are many better artists
But there's none with more balls
Talent and perseverance is like a crime without an alibi
If you have them separated, they won't serve you
I met artists I admired and stopped doing so
Realizing they were idiots
I don't judge anyone before knowing them
Because before the artist, the person matters to me
I decided to give a message, giving up money
Because I have values that come first for me
Because material things will go if I die tomorrow
But this message will be heard by the whole world
