Description
Like the diary of a man balancing between fame and burnout, this track smells of cigarette smoke, late-night conversations, and the shadow of fatigue hiding behind a proud “I can handle it.” Each verse is a mixture of victory and retribution, toasts to the past and fear that the future may not come in time.
There is a feeling of a narrow tightrope: on one side, the light of the spotlights; on the other, the abyss, and every step is taken blindly. Here, pressure turns into rhyme, pain into fuel, and love for one's own into the only reason to continue. Ironic strength, stubborn dignity, a joke on the verge of a foul with death itself - it all sounds like the soundtrack to life on the edge.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Estuve a punto de perder la razón. Demasiadas noches sin dormir.
Conversábamos en el salón de las cosas que nunca te di.
Me malacostumbré a ganar. No sé cuándo me olvidé de ti.
¿Quién me mandaría a mí apostar? Esta vida no está hecha pa' mí.
All eyes on me, me va a reventar. Quieren todo de mí, no se lo puedo dar.
Voy a brindar por lo que viví, por lo que me ha llevado hasta aquí.
Le daré tiempo al tiempo por si viene la muerte.
Escribirme alguna letra, irme con to' cerrado.
Le daré tiempo al tiempo por si viene la muerte.
Escribirme alguna letra, irme con to' cerrado. Corro en la cuerda floja, siempre lo hago a ciegas.
A nadie le importa si aguanto los rounds. Voy a ponerme fuerte, esto es pa' mi mamá.
Nadie me lo toca sin salir mal parao.
Esta presión de mierda me está jodiendo el pecho, como los trenta que me fumo jugando al arcado.
Papá, voy a ganarlo, no sufras por la money. Tú solo dame tiempo y te jubilo en Laos.
All eyes on me, me va a reventar. Quieren todo de mí, no se lo puedo dar.
Voy a brindar por lo que viví, por lo que me ha llevado hasta aquí.
Le daré tiempo al tiempo por si viene la muerte.
Escribirme alguna letra, irme con to' cerrado.
Le daré tiempo al tiempo por si viene la muerte.
Escribirme alguna letra, -irme con to' cerrado.
-Irme con to' cerrado.
English translation
I was about to lose my mind. Too many sleepless nights.
We talked in the living room about the things I never gave you.
I got used to winning. I don't know when I forgot about you.
Who would order me to bet? This life is not made for me.
All eyes on me, I'm going to burst. They want everything from me, I can't give it to them.
I'm going to toast to what I experienced, to what has led me here.
I will give time to time in case death comes.
Write me some lyrics, leave with everything closed.
I will give time to time in case death comes.
Write me some lyrics, leave with everything closed. I run on a tightrope, I always do it blindly.
Nobody cares if I last the rounds. I'm going to be strong, this is for my mom.
No one touches me without getting hurt.
This shitty pressure is fucking up my chest, like the thirty I smoke playing arcade games.
Dad, I'm going to win it, don't suffer for the money. Just give me time and I'll retire you to Laos.
All eyes on me, I'm going to burst. They want everything from me, I can't give it to them.
I'm going to toast to what I experienced, to what has led me here.
I will give time to time in case death comes.
Write me some lyrics, leave with everything closed.
I will give time to time in case death comes.
Write me some lyrics, leave with everything closed.
-Leave with everything closed.
