My life could sound like a sad song
So let me take you back a little short story long
I was born in a crazy country but beautiful indeed
The middle east Miami, that special air that I breathe

A war zone yes, a hot zone yes
Beyrouth Lebanon well known? No!
The spirit of a soldier, riches of a land
But too little to grab on for so many hands
So they fight and for a decade they fought again
I´m watching I´m a kid and god damn I can´t understand
I see the heroes dying, I see the soldiers crying
I prayed for better days but god was lying so
That´s my reality I guess, I´m eleven years old and no future to assess
Plus the fact that I´m a property of a war zone country
I´ve seen it all, they made a warrior out of me
Wake up kid it´s not your time to go...
Wake up kid it´s now the time to show
The whole world what you came for, go it´s your payback (bis)

Still so young but living like no tomorrow
Like on a respirator, breathing on time you borrow
Seeking for a little piece, a glimpse of sunshine
Gather the family and have some quality time
And then January 1st 1991 war is over
Daddy had enough, let´s move over
Quickly we pack up, couple of dollars for back up
Grabbed my little sister, kiss goodbye it´s a wrap up
A new life, for me a new beginning
I knew from there on there´s no fights I won´t be winning
And of course I´ll be your ultimate hustler I was trained for
Mentally be stronger beat the best and get paid for
The world is this kid is scared of nothing´

No matter what you showed me I´ve seen worse
The point is I wanna be a leader now
I was never scared to die, f**k you the world is mine
Wake up kid it´s not your time to go...
Wake up kid it´s now the time to show
The whole world what you came for, go it´s your payback (bis)
Now I never look back I´m just happy I made it
Life owed me a favour I´m just happy she paid it
Came from the bottom of bottom straight to the top of the top
Now I´m enjoying every moment of it like if it was my last
Now I never look back I´m just happy I made it
Life owed me a favour I´m just happy she paid it
Came from the bottom of bottom straight to the top

Of the top let me sleep if I´m dreaming so they can´t take me back
