SCH - Bénéfice (English lyrics) - The International Connect

Chorus :
Teen age, you know the risks, nothing but dirt
I could be alone in front of the devil, as long as my mother tells me : “my son you’re a man” I won’t be afraid
I was searching for answers with blood running down my face
The harm was done but listening to my rage didn’t help me
Around here, love is in the profits, enormous hearts
The profits, alone in front of the devil, “my son you’re a man”
Hell is waiting on me, vice and virtue but I want me some new clothes
And by the way paradise will be sad without my brothers

1st verse :
If I had to listen to my heart, I would do homicides, I don’t give a fuck
Hands stained with blood because the sound of the guns has it’s poetry
Around here since I was a kid, we do everything for the code, we live for our fam’
We are what we are, I’m this good for nothing guy but today I’m shining
I already had balls as a kid, I don’t do everything that I’m doing just to please your whore
Fuck, we’re street for life, the choices we made, going to war with Russian weapons, the ghosts, the dead friends
hematomas caused with bare hands, the gloves fit me like a charm
Tony and Manny, the fake bitches, the real friends, the mistakes, the police custody
Teenager and you know the risks
We eat outside, then we’ll go feed the crime
At thirty years old, it’s either we remain kids or we get sentenced to ten
We grew up in drama, we inherited it
Invincible, we’re way too strong together to find all this lousy
Mom gets sad whenever one of her sons die, that’s the deal with la Onda

2nd verse :
Okay, I turn in circles from night to dawn
We don’t do any credits, you’re gonna pay me my drugs
My brothers in prison doing two digit sentences, they pay their lawyer, till there’s not a cent left
Being a gatherer is a losing bet
It’s pointless, we’re already all full of wrinkles
Principle, honor, find my fears
Fifteen years old, my eyes are already empty
Dying for my ideas

Bridge :
I don’t know if I deserved it
I just wanted to sleep a little more when my alarm would ring
I just wanted to provide for my mom but I ended stealing her sleep from her
For the money, what wouldn’t we have done, because we wanted to escape

2nd chorus :
I could run away, move out the projects but the truth is that I love them to death
I just wanted to save her but I ended up stealing her sleep
I’m paying full price, I’m losing things that I held dare but I would be lying if I said I didn’t regret anything, I no longer have time to waste time over nothing
I could run away, move out the projects but the truth is that I love them to death
I just wanted to save her but I ended up stealing her sleep
I’m paying full price, I’m losing things that I held dare but I would be lying if I said I didn’t regret anything, I no longer have time to waste time over nothing

Outro :
Teen age, you know the risks, nothing but dirt
I could be alone in front of the devil, as long as my mother tells me : “my son you’re a man” I won’t be afraid
I was searching for answers with blood running down my face
The harm was done but listening to my rage didn’t help me
