BARRIO ANTIOQUIA 2 Lyrics English Translation by Blessd & Ovy On the Drums
(feat. Ovy On the Drums)
God bless you forever, amen
No weapon formed against you will ever prosper
That’s the gift from Jesus to the chosen ones, to the prophets, papi
Mondo Blessed
Ever since it was given to me, thank God
I haven’t stepped off a plane since
Mami doesn’t have to work, the Mastercard has no limit
And now I live like I wanted, with the cars I wanted
My house, a jewelry store, eh
I always come back to visit, even though time limits me
I want them to remember that
I don’t forget the neighborhood, that’s where the people I love are
The ones who never doubted, the ones who always believed
Today I fill the stages and I’m counting money
All of that is thanks to the neighborhood, all of this is thanks to them
I’m from here, from the neighborhood that watched me grow
And a grateful son will always come back home
Here I walked, I fell and I learned to run
And I know God is the way, trust in Him
I had stumbles and bad times, many
I grew up with little and without my old man’s love
But that didn’t affect me, at least emotionally
It made me a little man to battle in the streets
The days were dark, the nights clear
Because I didn’t sleep, I only thought
About when the day would come that life would change for me
And that my mom would finally have to stop working
Headaches, depressions over money
But God told me: “Son, this is temporary”
Tears in my eyes because deep down I knew
That after the storm, the light would reach me
And look, now I smile in the same neighborhood with all my people
I fought, I struggled and I won, I didn’t give up
And now all the success is welcome
That’s why, summon courage like a lion and the way out will be within you
Fight hard with courage, like a warrior, and always put your family first
Many times I overcame and healed from the impact of my falls
And thanks to that, I learned and understood everything the elders used to say
I don’t forget the neighborhood, that’s where the people I love are
The ones who never doubted, the ones who always believed
Today I fill the stages and I’m counting money
All of that is thanks to the neighborhood, all of this is thanks to them
I’m moving forward, no matter who sings
Onward, my mission: the summit
I’ll keep the focus, I won’t lose the touch
I spoke with the big man so he’d bless me
With my head held high, the streets upon me
I don’t believe in failure, I was raised on the corner
I climb step by step, surrounded by envy
There’s no point anymore, my day has come
We’re going to rise again
We shake off that dark shadow from upon us
What’s Gucci? What’s good?
And you know what? All good
Green light, man, Blessd, man
This is the voice, brother
You’re on the voice, brother
Let the hater speak up and say: “Blessd, that will be the greatest of your blessings”
