El Más Criticado

How life changes with money
All my worries have disappeared, the only thing I stay alert for
Is to watch out for the talkers
Many look at me
They’ve never treated me right and claim I’m trash
They know me and suddenly things change, and a few even apologize

There are many who say they’re family
Just because they share my blood, they should know they’re very wrong
I don’t roll in the mud, buddy
I always keep my line clearly drawn
So they don’t start crossing it
And where they disrespected my mom
Is where I’ll never go near

How you’ve changed, several have told me
I thank you all for noticing
They say luck is on my side today
Not knowing all I’ve struggled through
Those comments made me strong
Let me tell you, they’ve failed
I know they’re dying to see me down, it won’t be easy, keep trying

With my eyes always looking ahead
I’m thinking of all my goals
It’s incredible what I’ve already achieved
Everything I dreamed of as a kid
Life sometimes gives you a thousand surprises
Among the crowd, I was the most criticized
They compared me for not going to school
Now look at how far I’ve come

Sometimes when I want to unwind
I hit the gas and the sports car roars
Life is full of ups and downs
Don’t be dazzled when the shine comes
Sometimes I have plenty of cash
Other times I’ve even lost it
That’s why I always stay reserved
I have my luxuries but I’m down to earth

I’ll say goodbye, I’ll keep working
So there’s always food on the table
It’s my moment and I want to make the most of it
I’m done struggling
I extend my hand to my friends
I don’t forget those who supported me
And even less those who turned their backs
No worries, we’ll see each other around the corner.
