Adiós a mi corazón, dejo el miedo atrás (Version 2)

Intro

Desert wind, dólares de polvo

Adiós, adiós, mi corazón

Verse

Five a.m., boots crunching gravel like static

Empty tank, full dream, that's the math I'm at

Sold my watch for a mic, now I'm counting time in bars

Sixteen hours grinding underneath these desert stars

Momma's rent due, pockets whispering excuses

Turned my hunger into hooks, turned my scars into uses

Cracked windshield, city lights bleeding through the glass

Every no I collected building bricks that gonna last

Cactus shadow on the porch where I wrote the first verse

Broke strings on the guitar but I never wrote it worse

Coyote howling backup while I'm mumbling my flow

Dust in my throat but the message gotta go

Corner store cashier knows my face, not my name yet

Give it one more summer, watch the whole block change set

Heart's a compass pointing north through the heat and the haze

Adiós to the boy who was scared of these days

Chorus

Adiós a mi corazón, dejo el miedo atrás

Grinding through the dust till the sun don't set

Adiós a mi corazón, nadie me detendrá

Every step I take is a step I won't forget

Verse

Two years sleeping on a mattress thin as promises

Neighbors said I'm loco, chasing echoes, chasing commas

Studio's a garage, mic wrapped in an old bandana

Beats bounce off tin walls like a desert fiesta

Uncle said get a job, I said watch this bar land

Every rejection just another grain of sand

Building my own oasis out of static and grit

Turned the doubt into a bassline, turned the silence to hits

Sun's setting orange, painting my hustle gold

Same road my father walked but I'm rewriting what's told

Empty gas station, full heart, that's the trade I made

Every dollar that I chase is a debt to the days

Grandmother's rosary swinging from the mirror

Every mile that I drive makes the vision clearer

Broken sandals, blistered feet, still I'm floating light

Adiós to the version of me scared of the fight

Chorus

Adiós a mi corazón, dejo el miedo atrás

Grinding through the dust till the sun don't set

Adiós a mi corazón, nadie me detendrá

Every step I take is a step I won't forget

Bridge

Quiet now, just the wind and the tape hiss

Every scar on my knuckles is a page that exists

No mansion yet, no chain, no shine

Just the desert and the grind and this heart of mine

I whisper to the dark like it's the only friend I got

Told it I ain't leaving, told it I'm all I've got

Outro

Adiós, adiós, mi corazón

Dust settles soft, but the fire don't go

Adiós, adiós, mi corazón

This is the only road I know
