I'm Still Here
I've been that typical kid who didn't want to hang out with anyone
And I've also been that weird kid who preferred to be alone
Writing some of those songs of mine
Rather than joining the kids my age and doing typical stuff for my age
Maybe that's exactly why I'm where I am
And maybe it’s just been luck
Or maybe not
Maybe there's someone or something up there watching me
And wanted me to be here today doing what I love
And making a living from it
Sometimes life gives you opportunities
And you have to know when to say yes, when to say no
But the most important thing is that those opportunities
You have to know when to grab them
And that's exactly why I'm still here
Because I saved every fall with the will to keep going
Because despite the storm, we can laugh
Because even though I've spent half my life, I always know what to say
Because the years have passed
And still, we've shown that nothing has knocked us down
And it’s always going to be like that
Because even though everything has changed
And many have left, thanks
To those who have stayed, I’ve managed to get through
That's why I keep
Talking to myself
Being my friend
Giving myself shelter
Because I live
Avoiding the cold
Walking the edge
I don’t even look at them
And it’s that
I have plenty of reasons to look ahead
Because if I'm still alive, it’s because I was persistent
I already know the road will be full of setbacks
And it won’t just focus on moments
I know
You didn’t think I’d make it, but you see
It’s as easy as getting used to it
And you don’t know the shit that lives behind
Every word I write to let go of baggage
And now that it’s time to show them again that
There’s nothing left to prove to me
I’ll get there, I know, and even if I’m late
I swear on my dead, I’m doing this to stay
Leaving behind the shit that happened when I was small
Leaving the bad behind
Crossing my healed fears
Stopping being so spoiled
In my own minefield
That left me set apart
Fucked up and out of line
That’s why I’ve developed
A calmer side
That has finally separated
From what tormented me
That with the time passed
From always being worried
To being quite far away
From what I’ve been saturated with
Calmly
Now I take it easy
Now I only write to take care of my soul
Today I walk alive and when I keep going, it’s to give more
Everything I say is assertive and not a weapon
Everything I feel is life, and look
Today I’m going to die for those who take care of me
I no longer intend to be on top
I don’t give a shit about seeing the peak
I know I’m living a dream that very few live
I understand that some love me, some hate me, some stare
But this is a message for those who do pursue it
Forget about fame, about cash, and just write
Turn your head and remember the times lived
Remember the kid who started with his friends
Rapping on the street with the rhythm in the beats
Not caring about the rain, the snow, or the cold
Think about the past and what’s gone, damn
For all the outcasts that composing saved
For all the weirdos who dreamed of growing up
And for all the brothers that rap left us
I didn’t ask to be born and now I don’t want to die
Because I finally understood why I came here
Because in the end, I fulfilled what I promised them
Because thanks to music, I enjoy living
I still dream when I get out of bed
Every day I ask the sky to keep my flame alive
To keep burning, to not go out for anything
Take my life if rap calls me
