La Flor de Los Escombros (part. Rapsusklei y KYR4)

I learned to laugh and cry, to speak and be quiet
I learned that eyes never lie
I learned to live and dream, to rise and fall
I learned that nothing here lasts forever

I don’t hide behind my name, 'cause we all
Are children of man's loneliness
Life's a riddle, I head where happiness hides
I write because God doesn’t answer me

I know how to value between praying and crying
Why beg when anywhere I go, I have my home?
The dawn taught me to talk with silence
That hate is worthless and love has no price

I know hunger just like the air I breathe
But I don’t know about diamonds and sapphires
I know about papyrus, I’m inspired by the paper I go crazy with
Life evaporates in a sigh

I look and the eyes don’t lie, my doubt wanders
Under the eastern sun with my soul bare and my pen bleeding still
Without a cure, I write at the height of your belly without the Moon knowing how long forever lasts

We grew up on the wire and learned to make hunger a song, a song
We dreamed big, betting our blood in an alley, an alley

I am the flower in the rubble talking
About love to the devil on my shoulders
To touch the sky, I had to hit rock bottom
I write about what I live, but more than what I say, it’s what I hide

Just like you, I carry
My cross
I carry inside my chest, a coffin, my shadow and my light
I guard my attitude with precision and ask for health for the kids in the hood

It’s sacred, I’m just a lovesick prisoner who has paid with a kiss for every kiss given
I already know the world spins and raves in despair
And that the devil just watches while God rolls the dice

Looking around me, I understood that the world envies you
Joy, but doesn’t understand your pain
That’s why I only write for love, while I see how the sky
Is changing color

We grew up on the wire and learned to make hunger a song, a song
We dreamed big, betting our blood in an alley, an alley

I learned to laugh
And cry, to speak and be quiet
I learned that eyes never lie
I learned to live and dream, to rise and fall
I learned that nothing here lasts forever
