Highlights
I could do this with my eyes closed
Iâm back from the dead
Been facing horrors that should never be said
Been taking every whip and word Iâve never been spared
They say tomorrowâs never promised, honest
They say the angels are among us
I was born I was raised for this
Just throw away the key, donât worry about me
I was driving in my car, throwing up my hands
La tormenta no ha podido sacudir mi palma
Tengo a Dios peleando contra el diablo por mi alma
Soy la luz del túnel que da calma
Me echaron a los leones, ahora soy dueño del circo
Batallo con ojos cerrados como Shakra de Virgo
Si la puedes creer, antes de ver parcero
Yo no nacà pa' perder
Yo soy libre, soy la llave del lock
Soy guitarra de rock, pueden parar el beat pero nunca mi voz
Y haciendo trampa al enemigo ganó
A mà no me vence el miedo, let's go, go, go
