I didn't want to listenNo queria escuchar

I didn't want to listen, No, NoNo queria escuchar, No, No

Since he was little, he knew the underworldDesde chiquito el bajo mundo conocia
Always in the streets, gambling with fateSiempre la calle jugandose la loteria
By thirteen, he would leave schoolY por los trece ya la escuela dejaria
His mother giving him everything, unaware she was harming himSu madre dandoselo todo no sabia que lo dañaria
By fifteen, he was in a gangPa' los quince estaba en una ganga
And in trouble with the policeY en problemas con la policia
He never listened to the advice when his father saidNunca escuchaba los consejos cuando su padre decia
Seek God, find a job, and leave the drinkBusca de Dios, busca un trabajo y deja la bebida

Chorus:Coro:
I didn't want to listenNo queria escuchar
I didn't want to listenNo queria escuchar
I didn't want to listen to adviceNo queria escuchar consejo

I didn't want to listenNo queria escuchar
I didn't want to listenNo queria escuchar
I didn't want to grow oldNo queria llegar a viejo

I didn't want to listenNo queria escuchar
I didn't want to listenNo queria escuchar
I didn't want to listen to adviceNo queria escuchar consejo

I didn't want to listenNo queria escuchar
I didn't want to listen, No, noNo queria escuchar, No, no

By twenty, he would try needlesYa pa los veinte las agujas probaria
And that was water he wouldn't drinkY eso era agua que no beberia
But the streets kept pulling himPero la calle lo siguio jalando
And the good in him was fading awayY de lo bueno ya no va quedando
He had two cases with the fedsTenia dos caoso con los federales
And his addictions were lethalY sus adicciones estaban letales
But he didn't like to ask for help in the lightPero a el no lle gustaba pedir en la luz
So he robbed to carry his crossSo asaltaba pa cargar su cruz

ChorusCoro

One day he tried to rob where he shouldn'tUn dia se metio a asaltar donde no era
He didn't realize the guards were outsideNo se dio cuenta que los guardias estaban afuera
He caught two shots in that shootoutCogio dos tiros es aquella balacera
People outside and him lying there on the sidewalkLa gente afuera y el tirado alli en la acera
There in his tears, he asked for forgivenessAlli en su llanto pedia perdon
While his heart was already stoppingMientras paraba ya su corazon
Another boy who never listened to the advice his mother gave himOtro muchacho que nunca escucho los consejos que su madre le dio
So think a thousand times and look at the scenePor eso piensalo mil veces y mira la escena
Ask yourself if it's worth itPreguntate a ti mismo si vale la pena
