Bendecido Lyrics English Translation by Eladio Carrión
And if you let me down once, it’s on you, hey
The second time, it’s on me
By the third, homie, it’s a whole different story
They might have to find me in the back of a cop car
Hold on, hold on, hold on
I don’t even know how to explain that I’m only in competition with myself
They throw shots, but time is my accountant, it keeps all the receipts
Problems, problems keep coming, and I can’t seem to get any sleep
Problems, problems I’ve got, but
I’m blessed, yeah
As long as the family stays true, that’s all I ask for, yeah
I’m feeling too damn great, you watch over me, I promise I’ll watch over you, yeah
And I know friends can be a burden on the pocket
The haters throw shade, I don’t care, homie, ’cause I’m blessed
There are good days, there are bad days, there are days when I just want to disappear
But with God, I know I can overcome anything
There are tears inside that I want to shed
But I keep it gangster like Denzel
‘Cause if there’s a problem, who will I call?
Don’t worry, it won’t be you, it’ll be Ela’
Weight on my shoulders like I’m playing in the NFL
There’s twenty grand in fines just for smoking in hotels
So many Cubans, when they see me, they say, “Damn, dude”
The best thing I did was learn to take all my L’s
Because those L’s are gains
I learned from all my foolishness
I started seeking peace, not revenge
And in the end, I put everything on the scale and realized that
I’m blessed, yeah
As long as the family stays true, that’s all I ask for, yeah
I’m feeling too damn great, you watch over me, I promise I’ll watch over you, yeah
And I know friends can be a burden on the pocket
The haters throw shade, I don’t care, homie, ’cause I’m blessed
