This life is always the same
with friendships and with friends...
They say that some are fake
overnight1 they become your enemies.
Of course nothing is written (in stone)
things quickly change as they go
and the more money you lose
those fake friends will start to leave you2.
I avoid suffering through sorrows and less those of others
I avoid problems, I don't expect nothing from no one
because they always, always fail
I don't come out of a dilemma.
I best be going forward
and with a couple of beers3
my mind scatters...
I hate humiliations
betrayals too and things in poor taste4
because I went through that,
I endured the contempt and so much bullshit5.
I hate rich and arrogant people
there's no one left who can scare me
but that's a thing of the past.
I have a malicious mind for doing things
for everything to go well
I say it's because of all the blows that I've taken
but I'm doing okay.6
It's always the same problem
it's always about the rich, it always is.
Although it's sad to be about without a cent7
beans and cheese are the best kind of food
with freshly milked milk
from a good cow and some flour tortillas.
Oh how I remember the words of wisdom
from my old man, I never forget them
I've gone through all that
I've already recited a life in ruins.
