La Envidia (Intro) (part. Raphy Pina)

My old man always had a different way of seeing life
Another way to understand it
Another way to live it

May 28, 2000
Fate put an end to his life here on earth
I remember like yesterday the words he said
Keep faith in God, son, he never fails
Respect those who respect and you will be respected
Don't measure people by what they have, but by what they are
But as a young man I never understood what he wanted to tell me
Until I had to sit in his place and demonstrate
He told me Rafy: When the tide of life washes over you
You have to be precise in warm waters
These are questions that can limit you
When it's time to leave, sometimes there's not even time to shout
I learned that envy is a vital tool and is used as a gauge

Envy divides the friend from the traitor
Envy only follows people who have some kind of success in their hands
Envy can be so close to you
As within your core, your home, your neighbors, your relatives, and even at work
They only go in search of the best plans
Envy is disguised as hugs, thanks, congratulations, and even love
Envy has no sex, color and much less age

Only you can separate envy from kindness
If nobody envies you, something is wrong
Son, you will surely find the transit
Envy is a feeling of the sector that never achieved anything
And he stayed in the same corner doing nothing

Envy is the blood of many people
Envy is a meter that never lies
Envy is not a problem, until the moment you feel it
