Por Lo Que Obtuve
Zona Ganjah
For What I Got
I had to go through everything to be able to learn
that having everything inside there is nothing to lose
if I could summarize everything in a sunset
I would capture my whole life on a simple paper.
Give me a stab to make a theme
And it flows more when there is sorrow
I live off emotions and that doesn't bother me
I live excited to make myself an emblem
chorus:
In a cloud of smoke I made a wish
and that cloud rose and went up to the sky
for that singing cloud I didn't stop
and I am grateful for everything I got.
Lover of the smallest desires
I see the fire dancing in your soul without highlighting it
the reflection in your gaze feels moist
it's noticeable that there is a lot of accumulated hope.
Check my pockets that are worthless
look inside me you will find an excited soul
hiding something that is why I am valuable
it was sent to me from the holy mountain and it has healed my tears.
Through the gaze of an elder, the respect of a brother
for being able to understand that just by being born we win
because we meditate and elevate ourselves
because what we speak is true.
From singing so much, I have recovered from the fright
and I feel that among the fallen I rise
wrapped in an invisible cloak covered with poems
for each poem an emblem.
Put me in front of the microphone
and I forget about the crowd except for the one who left me this gift
I owe him everything I am
I can't imagine the day he tells me come with me and I go
meanwhile, I am far away
thinking if I can endure so long in Babylon
fighting, I won't let myself be defeated battling without falling.
Rastafari has taught me everything there is to learn
and if I have learned more it's because I have had to lose
if the teaching of the path is to strengthen
then welcome what needs to be traveled.
