La Vida Es Dura

Life Is Tough

I'll tell you something you already know, the world ain't no rainbow
No pink clouds, it's a bad and wild world
And no matter how tough you are, it will bring you to your knees
And leave you there permanently, if you let it
Neither you, nor me, nor anyone will hit as hard as life
But it ain't about how hard you hit
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward
How much you can take and keep moving forward
That's how winning is done!
And if you know your worth, go out and get what you deserve
But you gotta be willing to take the hits
And not blame others and say I'm not who I want to be because of him, because of her, or because of anyone!
The cowards do that and you ain't one, you're a better son!

Now pay attention to everything I'll say
Because one morning I know you'll understand
You're still a child but someday you'll grow up
From night to morning, a young man you'll be

Now I'll explain that life ain't so simple
It'll have hits, stumbles, and also many falls
That in stages of your life you'll feel defeated
Sometimes you'll also say you've failed

Little by little I know you'll start understanding
In every step of your life you'll see it
Not everything in life is just happiness in every corner
From the street you'll see a lot of evil

Sometimes life is unfair to oneself
But that doesn't mean you should give up
You must rise and beat life
How many people fight against cancer, against AIDS

And that's what life is about, fighting I know you'll have hits
Stumbles, falls, but get up and rise with everything son
Because those are just tests that the man above will put you through
And at that moment you'll see if you can really beat life

And you have to know that life ain't a game, hit, fight, triumph
Don't get tired, I beg you, even if they criticize you
And want to humiliate you, respond to all those people with total humility
I'm sure life will give you back smiles, blessings, and great happiness
Because not only in life do you receive just falls
As time goes by, laughter and joy will come

Just like when I first saw you
And held you in my arms time and time again
Good pleasant moments I spend with you remember
I'm your father and your best friend

Remember all these words I wrote in a stage of my life
I did it thinking of you, my little one
In my second adoration, sincere words born from my heart
In the future, you'll understand that money doesn't make the person
Because the human being is born, lives, and dies
That's why you have to have a lot of respect
A lot of love and above all a lot of humility with the people around you
And with those who aren't, be a great person, Deyvi
