La luz

So many failures, defeats, but the light
Came through, the light shone, and all that's left to say
So many failures, defeats, but the light
Came through, the light shone, and all that's left to say

This is the life we got, and though it sometimes hurts
Even when I'm under pressure, I keep pushing through
'Cause life taught me that if you don't run, you get left behind
And behind you, there's a bunch who are eyeing your spot

Don't throw salt on me, don’t light my fire
I’ll only rest when they light my candles
I gotta be everywhere, I’m starting to feel like a babysitter
'Cause behind me, there’s a crowd, if I leave, they slip in

I grew up with the best, the finest school
Raised by folks from Boyacá and aguapanela
We ate crap like kids munching on Nutella
Now we’re dining on sushi, sipping on beer

To do it like this, you gotta grow up in Barrio Candela
Yesterday we cried, today we laugh, grandma
From the dark, grinding hard
And just in case you have doubts, I’ll leave you my mark

So many failures, defeats, but the light
Came through, the light shone, and all that's left to say
So many failures, defeats, but the light
Came through, the light shone, and all that's left to say

Old fridge, stained clothes, broken closet
Chipped dishes, covered cups, four leaks
Sometimes I’d get stuck and that’s where I’d record
We did everything with nothing, the light kept coming

We put our future on the line with mortgages
Empty pockets, but the bank account's dry
And we walked through streets and trash cans
And like Abraham, we made it to the promised land

Those who said I was on the wrong path
See me shining and it gives them a headache
While what the hell are these fools throwing at me
I’m setting a date in the Czech Republic

But not everything is joy, I know what I’m saying
An Uber driver told me he’s been a witness
That money turns families and friends against each other
That’s why for some people, cash is a curse
From the bottom we came, hustling in pairs
Raining with no bread, no light, but we made it
From the bottom we came, grinding in pairs
Raining with no bread, no light, but we made it

So many failures, defeats, but the light
Came through, the light shone, and all that's left to say
So many failures, defeats, but the light
Came through, the light shone, and all that's left to say

And this says
Gentlemen, the light has come (um)
