Zapatos

Swapped my kicks for some almost new ones
Put 'em on at the corner
And walked on foot, walked on foot, looked back

The old kicks
Stayed there staring at me with their mouths open

Got high on booze and weed
To handle the stain of a damn STD
Got stabbed in the hood

Not even bleeding anymore, arm swollen
Here I am with the spirits accompanying me
Better hit a joint

Stole the kicks from an old bum
But the bum was tough, the bum was tough
And had a knife, had a knife

Heading to the hill, got a buddy there
Who hops in the cab to wash it and fly a kite
Need to forget about the arm
And the bum plays cumbias, ayy

On that hill, when I was a kid, I'd climb up
On that hill, when I was a pest, I'd come down all dirty
Now I climb up crazy, catch the cab, catch the buddy, catch the kite up high

And I get close dancing
And the buddy admires me
Sees the stab wound on my shoulder
Sees the kicks

And without letting go of the cab's kite, he pulls out a shotgun
And shoots me
In the other arm
In the other arm

Dude
What's up?
Dude
He got into something he shouldn't have
Dude
Those kicks were my uncle's
Dude

Had to walk down the hill barefoot
And be thankful, motherf*****r, that it was just one bullet
I'm in deep s***
From now on, if I see him, I'll shoot

Lost the high with the bullet
And the black sky came down on me
Came down from the mythical hill to find morphine
Like a broken kite, pale and cold

Here goes the wounded dude
Spilling blood
Barefoot with no wings
Stepping on thorns

Turn the corner
And see something enigmatic
The old kicks
There they are staring at me with their mouths open

Dude
These kicks are awesome
Dude

Dude
These kicks are awesome
I used to say, I used to say

Dude

Dude

These kicks are awesome
I used to say, I used to say, I used to say

These kicks are awesome
