Hey Boy

Hey Boy

Hey boy! hey boy!
Give me a break, come here!
Hold on!
What's up?
What's this fool doing here?
Hey, take a break, come here
What's up, man!?
Do you remember me, man?
No
So let's have a chat now

Hey boy what are you doing here
My neighborhood is not your place
And you'll get hurt
You don't know where you are
You fell into a snake pit
And I think you'll have to explain yourself
It won't be easy to get out
Life here is tough
The law of the jungle is tough
Where misery has no cure
And the most likely remedy is death
Staying alive is a battle
That is if I don't make a mistake
And if I weren't smart
They'd take everything from me
They'd tear off my skin

My life in the end
I have to be on guard
So they don't pull the rug out from under me
And always be alert
So I'm not taken by surprise
If I slip up they'll replace me
Whatever you do
Here you pay for it
The little money I have
Is not enough for my own consumption
While we talk
The police seize and pretend
Criminality grows unprecedented
As time goes by
The tendency increases
And many times there's no way out
The solution is to steal
And your parents think jail is where we belong
The system is the cause
And we are the consequence... Bigger
Of the so-called violence
Because in reality
Nobody cares about our lives
And they still want us to be patriots

Hey, boy

All of this is true
But don't feel sorry for me
Because this is my place
But I want it this way
Even being the forgotten side of the city
And the scapegoat for any and all mediocrity
Society no longer knows what to do
Whether to interfere or let it happen
But because we are all poor
We are the labeled ones
Just because it's convenient

Hey, boy

Think well if it doesn't make sense
If nowadays I were a guy
As successful as you're called superior
And have everyone in your hand
And everything in your favor
You've always had everything
And haven't done anything for anyone
If things are going wrong
It's your fault too
Your parents turn their backs
To the world around them
They keep the best for themselves
And nothing is left for us
You spend fortunes
Dressing in labels
And in the gutter are the children
Future men
They hardly eat, die of hunger
Cold and afraid
It's no longer a secret and drugs consume them
Feel the contrast and just give me reason
Don't say anything else because
It will be in vain

Hey, boy

You are part of those who contribute
To make the lives of many people
So bad
You think alone you won't solve it
But it's because many think like you
That the situation
Goes from bad to worse
And as always you think only of yourself
Your selfishness, ambition, and contempt
Will be the arguments to kill yourself
So I say: Hey, boy
Don't be surprised
If the ridiculous and hateful
Vicious circle
System you're part of
Turns you into a criminal
And painful
It will be to be rejected, humiliated
Considered a criminal
Discriminated against, you'll know
Feel in your own skin how it hurts
So learn the lesson

Hey, boy

Hey boy, walk away, alright
I have all the reasons
But that doesn't mean I'll rob you
Got it?
Walk away
Go on, man!
There's nothing for you here, you fool!
Go away
Get out
And don't come back here, got it!
