Fé, Cojones Y Paciencia Lyrics English Translation by Eladio Carrión
Small achievements, I must celebrate them too
Little progress is better than no progress at all
I’m hungry as if I had to start from scratch
I won’t go back to my old life, that’s my call
The only thing I miss is my privacy, you see
I’ve learned that money doesn’t bring happiness, indeed
Loyalty isn’t the same as friendship, take heed
Like Morad in the L, I’m a king in my city, indeed
I’m courtside, watching LeBron surpass Kareem Abdul
Proud ’cause we came from the bottom, that’s the rule
I remember so many bad days we went through
Learned to see the gray days a little more blue
Fame caught me by surprise, like Draymond and Jordan Poole
They want to talk about me after I helped them, that’s cool
Do they want to talk about me? I didn’t even hear
I’m on tour, facing forward, they only want smoke if they Juul
I’m still the same, going to Chili’s for the special, yeah
Bacon-wrapped ribs, takeout, that’s clear
And the more money in the bank account, sincere
I realize material things don’t hold what we hold dear, oh dear
Maison Margiela, fingers through the holes, didn’t know about this sphere
I’m in Marbella with London brothers, if I don’t respond, don’t interfere
Phone’s in the locker, why all the calls and the jeers?
As obsessed as the stalkers, it appears
I’ve changed numbers so much, I couldn’t even earn Foot Locker
I don’t pay attention to those who try to block, because
Most still live with their mothers, like Mr. Crocker
Canelo’s box, fuck you, motherfucker
They put obstacles, I won’t fall, I’m a chess rocker
If needed, we play soccer
I’m still the same, Kobe beef on Mondays, you know
And on Tuesdays, I’m already into Vevo’s flow
In my team, everyone excels on their own, that’s the show
But together we win, like a relay, in the know
Three words I’ve never said together, “I can’t do it,” so
Give me advice? You need it more, that’s the low blow
I wish I could tell them “I feel sorry,” but you know
A hater will always be a hater, to and fro
You need faith, courage, and patience to prevail
In a world where hate spreads like a viral tale
I’m searching for all ways to stay on the trail
And drop tracks without being a bad influence, I hail
Hey, faith, courage, and patience, don’t you bail
I make it look easy, but it’s not a fairy tale
Few support you when you first set sail
Just sang to thirty thousand people in Valencia, that’s swell
