Con las letra' soy obsesivo compulsivo
Y el alfabeto está al borde de un suicidio colectivo
No importa porque mientras yo esté vivo
Hasta sin palabra' escribo
De romper las regla', de eso se trata
De lograr que una silla esté de pie con una pata
De que con un solo verso en medio del revuelo
Encuentres paz en un universo paralelo
Tonto, no hace falta pensar tanto, mi santo
Yo soy rapero, pues porque no canto
Sin hacerme la víctima, sin tanto teatro
Yo la rimo como tú en 4x4
Porque de la sopa 'e letra' hago un sancocho
Y encima de eso, las rapeo en 6x8
Yo respeto al movimiento
Yo también puse ladrillo' desde el pavimento
Yo también mezclé cemento
Si no te salió, lo siento
Debe ser triste escribir pa' terminar rapeándosela' al viento
Lo que tú no has dicho en to'a tu vida entera, fiera
Yo lo dije en solo un a?o de carrera
Le di tanto de comer a mis libreta'
Que dejaron de caber en mis maleta'
Cocinando sin un libro de receta'
Aprendí a sacar el lápiz cuando el corazón se aprieta
Rimando de verdad, la posta, la neta
De barra en barra, escribiendo en servilleta
Hasta que mi lápiz se desangre
Con hielo en la nevera aprendí a escribir con hambre
Yo soy rapero aunque solo use una guitarra
Sin beat y sin DJ, las barra' siguen siendo barra'
Y me voy a duelo contra el cello
De aquí nadie me saca, ni aunque bajen to' los ángeles del cielo
El rap en la calle con todas sus voce'
Las palabra' que el diccionario todavía no reconoce
Lo que ni con un doctorado supiste lo que significa
El rap con una rima te lo explica
La historia de las bala' que a todo' nos salpica
Desde el que las dispara hasta el que las fabrica
El rap no lo defines tú, marica
Lo define el verso que la pista se mastica
Lo define el poder de la palabra
Los punchlines que golpean tu mente hasta que la abras
El rap conmigo no se queja
Porque fui más fiel con él que lo que fui con mis pareja'
El rap es todo lo que tú no puede' ver
Vio a mi hijo nacer, lo vio crecer, hasta le dio de comer
Y me amarró las pierna' con las que brinco
Pa' que la depresión no me empujara desde el piso veinticinco
Y conecto con ustede' en otro nivel
Porque me ense?ó a decir lo que no cabe en el papel
Y si me pierdo en medio de la nada sin transporte
Dejo que el lápiz decida mi norte
Y aquí estaré, aunque no vean mi aporte
En este deporte hasta que mis machete' ya no corten
Aunque toda esta misión la aborten
Aquí estaré aunque las letra' ya no importen
