Batalla

I used to hear voices
Thought they were demons
It was my ambition in the form of a premonitory dream
I’ve always been the black sheep, a breathing archive

They want the files from my portfolio
All they bring is hate
In a world of appearances
I’m still searching for transparency

The traps of the shelter
Frogs that bring diligence
I don’t respond to the haters
Indifference hurts more

Maybe nothing affects me
Even though I never had awareness
I’m not lying, I had my doubts
At one point
In a country without culture
They’d value talent

Sometimes I feel like I feed off hate and criticism
It’s no fairy tale that I keep
Believing in a perfect ending
Even if things don’t go the way you want
Even if sometimes you feel it’s not worth it

Even if they underestimate me or take me lightly
I won’t give them the satisfaction, they won’t cut my career
I’m still on the front lines, every day a battle
The day I leave, I’ll go out like Kobe Bryant
Shining without chains, but full of medals

The more they envy me, the less I give them attention
I’m still on the front lines, every day a battle
The day I leave, I’ll go out like Kobe Bryant
Shining without chains, but full of medals
The more they envy me, the less I give them attention

I’m in the shadows, let my talent speak
I learn more living than from this lousy education
I should remind them that this year I plan to rebel
I’ve faced my challenges alone, they can’t blame me anymore (Nah)
People are good at talking about others’ lives

And they don’t fill my plate at dinner
If I smoke breakfast and dinner
I’ve served all my sentences
They had me with the needle in my vein
Now they can’t poison me
Now I’m not going for the signature
I’m signing contracts

You all keep looking for a fifth leg on the cat
I’m precise like when my grandma draws my portrait
I try to conform, but honestly, I’ve got a long way to go
I won’t get trapped, I keep moving forward
I won’t tire of shutting mouths
Not a single misstep

I steal the scene like Diego Maradona on the field
These fools are kicking the orange tree and their songs are all fake
I don’t buy everything they invent
If at the club they split the bill
I know they’re telling stories that aren’t lived
I arrive in the neighborhood, they welcome me like a leader
On social media, they love me, they hate me

They can never decide
Time proved me right, those who keep going always achieve
I’m still on the front lines, every day a battle
The day I leave, I’ll go out like Kobe Bryant
Shining without chains, but full of medals

The more they envy me, the less I give them attention
I’m still on the front lines, every day a battle
The day I leave, I’ll go out like Kobe Bryant
Shining without chains, but full of medals
The more they envy me, the less I give them attention
