Mexico - Hoy Estoy Aquí

[Intro – instrumental] [Verse 1] I wake before the city remembers itself The light still undecided I fold the shirt like it could break Like it knows what today costs Coins counted more than once Bills left unanswered Everyone says it’s too much No one knows what it takes I touch my pocket out of habit I don’t look down Some things work better When you don’t name them [Verse 2] The bus is full of quiet faces All heading the same direction No songs yet Just breathing and heat I paid with years With patience With things I never replaced This isn’t madness It’s a long-term promise [Pre-Chorus] I don’t ask to win I don’t ask to be saved Just let me arrive Let me stand [Chorus] Hoy no soy rico pero estoy aquí with my voice on fire and my hands still shaking Hoy no compré un sueño lo vine a vivir this scream is mine this scream is me [Instrumental Break] [repetitive riff, groove locks, trumpet answers guitar] [Verse 3] I see the stadium from far away And I stop Not from fear From respect I remember the ones who taught me How to lose without leaving How to come back tired And come back anyway If he were here He’d laugh at my face Say it quietly Worth it [Bridge – spoken / ritual] I don’t wash this shirt I don’t change these socks I don’t make promises I just shout Virgen de Guadalupe camina conmigo no es fútbol es todo lo que soy [Chorus – variation] Hoy no importa el final importa llegar walking all this way with nothing spare Hoy me quedé sin nada and still I leave with the world inside my chest [Outro] I go back home empty-handed But whole I fold the shirt again Slow Tomorrow life collects Today I already paid
