Héctor "El Father" Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mami, bendición!
Te llamo acho por que estoy bien aborreci'o
Ya no me quedan fuerzas
Siempre es la misma mierda

Todos dicen ser mis amigos y cuando obtienen lo que quieren
Ya tu sabes, echan el pique
Acho ma' tu nunca te equivocas

Amigo es un peso en el fucking bolsillo
Esta vida es una envidia, una hipocresía, una persecución
Algunos días me levanto hasta con ganas de morirme

Pero veo tu retrato y el de papi en la cartera
Te acuerdas? el que me regalaste cuando cumplí años
Y saco fuerza de donde no las tengo

Pues me acuerdo de todas esas noches que ustedes no descansaban
Pa' llevarme un plato de comida pa' casa
Y a papi, dile que lo amo
Y que recuerde que no se mueve una hoja en la faz de la tierra
Si no es la voluntad de Dios

Viejo yo voy a ti
Recuerda que el cáncer no es una enfermedad
Es un demonio y Dios no es una carga que uno no pueda cargar
Te amo y jamas podre pagarte todas las cosas que en esta vida tu me haz dado

Yo soy tu sangre mi viejo, recuerda eso, oíste
Ma' dile a mis hermanos que me perdonen
Por las veces que le he dado mas a mis amigos que a ellos mismos que son mi sangre
Que me perdonen pero, dile que uno nunca se da con la misma piedra dos veces

Y que a ellos le daría algo que no le daría a nadie
Que es mi vida

Ma' dile que me perdonen y dile que los amo
Oye déjame decirte que tu siempre tienes la razón
Ma' no te equivocaste

Todos los panas míos que te daban mala espina
Terminaron haciéndome la puerca'a
Ellos se creen que me utilizaron
Pero lo que no saben es que yo los utilicé a ellos

Pues me llenaron de sabiduría
Me enseñaron que la palabra de Dios siempre se cumplirá
Que maldito sea el hombre que confíe en otro hombre ma'
Y si tu lo vieras me llegaban vestidos de ovejas
Y terminaban siendo lobos en busca de su presa

Siempre con el mismo bla, bla y bla
(Héctor ayúdame! y nunca te voy a fallar)
Y cuando le daba la mano, me la picaban

Acho ma' ya no existe la lealtad
Pero lo mas que me duele
Es que yo conozco la verdad
Y conociéndola , sigo caminando en este mundo de falsedad
Buscando en la fama y en el dinero llenar un vacío
Que yo, mas que nadie se que solamente lo llena Cristo

Acho ma', yo toa's las noches le pido que me tenga misericordia
Que me cuide de mis enemigos y que perdone todos mis pecados
Porque yo soy humano ma' y el coraje se apodera de mi
A última hora mami, yo prefiero que me odien por quien yo soy
A que me aman por alguien que yo finjo a ser

Seguro ahora yo soy el malo
Pero bien lo dice Jesucristo en la palabra
Que no existe un hombre bueno sobre la faz de la tierra




Solamente nuestro padre allá en el cielo
Na' mai échame la bendición que voy pa' la calle
