El Tata V2

These demons follow me wherever I go
Don't worry, I already armored the Chevy
I know I'm still missing 3 in the stash
But don't ask, you know how my cartel is

I'm a martyr of society
I'm inhumane, I'm what you don't want to see
In this story, I'm the villain
Good for some, bad for others

I was the poor kid that no one ever
Gave a hand to
I'm no victim, I've been a perpetrator too
But how many like me never made it out

From the neighborhoods looking for a chance
To earn a taco
I'm the voice of the corrupted and forgotten road
With me, it's all pure Nectar Lima

I also brought outsiders and they told me the same
No school, no education, and hungry
It's no coincidence that to get into this, there's already a line
They never remembered the poor, not even once

Now they chase me, I have to defend myself
Here I come, watching my back from the damn government
But I’m not worried, deep down I get it
It's the job of the enforcers

(We all follow orders, we're pawns in the game)
All the actions of a war boil down to a piece of paper
Why should I tell you if you already know well
How many died, how many will die for it
(How many, how many more?)

These demons follow me wherever I go
Don't worry, I already armored the Chevy
I know I'm still missing 3 in the stash
But don't ask, you know how my cartel is

Crime after crime
There's no bigger criminal than the one who robs this
Little town
I'm rolling with a vest and clips on my belt

They’re in their fancy suits, looking all nice
Ask how much it costs, you can't afford it
They wear several Rolexes worth more than your house
If they sell one of those, I assure you, it ain't no joke

They guarantee the future for several kids from La Blanca
We need more schools than rifles
We need education for the poor
Not a poor education, because of that situation

Thousands have already gone to the other world
The kids are watching, dude, imitating what they see
Many open their mouths without knowing or understanding
It's easy to give opinions from privilege

But not everyone has lived it like you
The rich kid, his businessman dad earns
For the barrio kid, he's the thug of the block
I was born, grew up with nothing
Could've been a doctor but I lacked the drive

(Of course it's sarcasm, dude, as kids)
(We wanted to be doctors, cops, nurses)
(Of course we had the drive)
(Whatever is good, but few made it, man)

And if they censor my career, or stop it
Let it be known that it’s all good, no worries
Because even if my music ain't heard, out there in the
Streets nothing changes and bullets keep flying

(They constantly force us to think that the poor)
(Is poor because they want to)
(You don't achieve what you want in life)
(Because you have the wrong mindset)
(When it's completely the opposite)

(It’s the material conditions they live in)
(That shape your mindset)
(It’s not your mindset that determines your life)
(It’s your life that shapes your mindset)

There was no money for school, much less for food
Now they chase me, I have to defend myself
There was no money for school, much less for food
Now I'm chased by the one who could have it

Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas
Where nothing ever happens
(Well, something does happen, but just ssh)
