Picture this, Caracas streets, sun blazin' hot
Ten years old, hustlin' just to fill a hungry pot
Empty fridge, leaky roof, dreams painted on the wall
Dodging raindrops, dodging doubts, standin' ten feet tall
Sellin' trinkets, shinin' shoes, any coin to catch
Mama workin' two jobs, barely makin' a match
Poverty's a serpent, tight around my neck it coiled
But my spirit, like the salsa, never fully boiled
Venezuela, land of beauty, land of pain
Where hope dances with hardship, in the pouring rain
But this cat, I had a fuego, burnin' in my chest
America, the dreamland, promised put my life in test
Fifteen, farewell, tears fallin' like the breeze
Landed in Miami, heart thumpin' with unease
Language barrier thick, customs strange and new
But I held onto hustle, knew what I had to do
School nights, dishwashin', and my muscles achin' sore
But every late-night study session opened up a door
Learned the lingo, mastered trade, climbed the ladder f*cking high
Accountant by day, rapper by night, reachin' for the sky yeah
Venezuela, land of beauty, land of pain
Where hope dances with hardship, in the pouring rain
But this cat, I had a fuego, burnin' in my chest
America, the dreamland, promised put my life in test
Now I'm standin' tall, with a suit and tie, with a penthouse view in the f*cking sky
Right in the sky
So if you see me shinin', don't just see the light
See the barrio boy, fightin' with all his might
From Caracas streets to the concrete dreams, hell yeah
