Today I have what I wanted before
Although I don't have a pair that I wanted so much, I don't have them by my side
I learned the hard way that in life everything is borrowed
Everyone sees the gold even though they don't know what it cost
What once seemed far away
I was going to have him very close, the one in the mirror told me
It's good that I didn't listen to advice because I was envious
The years go by, but still my flow is always valid
There is still a long way to row
A lot of rats out there want to see me badly
From the shore and me on the high seas
Why am I going to look there?
Time is money and I spend it with mine, I'm in another situation now
And I admit it, I know that sometimes I act arrogant
But everyone knows very well what I'm putting in
Many people out there say that they put a lot into it
They have thrown me and it's like throwing me on concrete
God wanted me to become a singer
Yesterday this was just a dream, but today, today
Today I have what I wanted before
Although I don't have a pair that I wanted so much, I don't have them by my side
I learned the hard way that in life everything is borrowed
Everyone sees the gold even though they don't know what it cost
What once seemed far away
I was going to have him very close, the one in the mirror told me
It's good that I didn't listen to advice because I was envious
The years go by, but still my flow is always valid
Before closing this chapter
I want to take a moment to say thank you
It has been twenty years of struggle, of sacrifice
None of this would have been possible
Without the people who believed in me from the beginning
My family who always supported me
My work team that fought with me through thick and thin
The street taught me discipline
It gave me character and showed me that dreams are worked for, not given away
I started from the bottom hungry
With a duo that marked an era and then my path alone
Building my name step by step
Every producer, every colleague
Every person who opened a door for me left a mark on me
And today after twenty years on the road, I stand here valid
Not by chance, but by destiny
From New York to Santurce
Life tempered my soul
And my mother gave me music as an inheritance and refuge
I grew up between turbulence and blessings
Between street and studio
Between dreams that hurt and goals that shine
To my fans, you are the heartbeat that keeps my name alive
The reason why two decades later
My voice still cuts through the noise of the world
And my words continue to find home in your hearts
Thanks to mine for supporting me
Thank God for guiding me
And thanks to life for allowing me to get here
This album closes a chapter, but also proclaims what I am
After 20 years, I'm still standing strong
I remain eternal, I remain valid
I am Archangel 'The Eighth Wonder'
