Destino

I know it's been a while
If you missed me, I'm sorry
I wanted to talk to you too
But I could never find the right moment

It's true, I was lost
Without strength, faith, or energy
Outside, the world looked more blind
Than it probably should have

And yeah, I got tired too
I searched and couldn't find that passion that inspires me
That's why I left
Trying to piece together the puzzle of my life

It was my attention deficit
And some social anxiety flare-ups
Me, stuck in my room
Calming a mental cyclone

Ghosts telling me to just give it up
You're not the same, stop rapping
But if I quit, what would I have left?
My days rot without this

And without this, I'm just a sky that rains
I'm a warrior who never dares
I'm a stone hidden in the snow
Without this, so brief

I envy every old man, he knows what he feels
I envy every kid living in the moment
I just wanted to have enough
Work, family, a normal life

So different that it just isolated me
And the bar set so high that I couldn't even jump
Having to be what everyone else expected
Wanting to stop, but the world doesn't stop
Doesn't stop, the world doesn't stop

That's why I ask you to believe in me
I was lost but now I'm back
It's the things of destiny
The same destiny that brought me here

That's why I'm back
I left behind everything that mistreated me
Today I'm more awake
Shining light on anyone who comes and looks me in the face

I've paid every outstanding debt
I cleaned my pain without using detergent
Now I'm here to rap like always
And so, more than the body, move the mind

I know there are people who need me
They see in me the hope the world takes away
They tell me never abandon your strength in songs
It's almost infinite

And I know, for them I give it my all
For them I grab this mic again
Many of you told me you saved my life
You all saved mine too, and that's true

I don't rap for assholes staring at their belly buttons
I rap for lost kids who need a lit beacon here
I rap for those who won't settle
Who don't follow rules and won't accept leftovers
Who push forward forgetting the past
And leaving their shadows behind

And if you're here, it's because we're the same
We feel the same
Far from this circus of filters
Of empty artists filling the venue

Being different is a gift that backs me up
If the bar is raised, I'll jump for it
I'm not going to be what everyone else expected
And I'm not going to stop because the world doesn't stop
Doesn't stop, the world doesn't stop

That's why I ask you to believe in me
I was lost but now I'm back
It's the things of destiny
The same destiny that brought me here
