[Verso 1]
I used to run in the rain with the boys
Laughin’ loud like we ain’t got no noise
Then one day, clouds turned to war
Thunder cracked, lightning near the core
I ran toward the old tree line
A stick fell down right in time
One second late and I’d be gone
That’s when I knew something was wrong
[Pre-Coro]
And I thought, “God, is this my call?”
A storm above, the fear, the fall
But I was spared, still breathing in
A second chance, or just a spin?
[Coro]
Everything’s falling out of control
Life too heavy, can’t hold the soul
From the rain to the gun in my face
Begging God, “Take me to a better place”
But I lived, yeah, I’m still alive
With these memories I try to hide
This storm, this silence, this guilt, this grace
Leaves a mark I can’t erase
[Verso 2]
Mini store, just chillin’ there
Talkin’ with my friend, not aware
Two men ride up on a motoconcho
Gun to my head, knife to my bro
She gave it all, said “I don’t know why,
But something in him said you can’t die”
Ran home, told my fam the news
They felt the storm, they saw the bruise
[Puente]
Then came the fight, I lost control
Hit a friend with cancer in his bones
He wore gypsum, hands so weak
But we let anger rise and speak
And I hit him there, the cursed blow
Didn’t know, years later he’d go
Now he’s gone and I’m still here
With guilt and pain I can't clear
[Coro]
Everything’s falling out of control
Life too heavy, can’t hold the soul
From the rain to the gun in my face
Begging God, “Take me to a better place”
But I lived, yeah, I’m still alive
With these memories I try to hide
This storm, this silence, this guilt, this grace
Leaves a mark I can’t erase
[Outro – Voz suave, íntima]
He was one of the good ones
We had dreams, we were young sons
And now his name’s a ghost in my mind
A lesson written across time
And this ain’t the end, it’s just a spark
Another chapter, another dark
But this pain, this scar, this flame I hold
Will shape the man from the broken soul
