“And the truth is that at the end of the day/looking in the mirror/I was my only enemy.” Jam continues, “without disciple, talent means nothing/But Diosito gave me another chance/I raised my face and I do not plan to lower it.”

The song talks about his days in Colombia. A rebirth happened, “who would have believed/that from Medellin, the world I was going to conquer/there is no memory without pain/Shoes without soles/the same urine soaked clothes for school.” And he compares the old days with the new ones, “Now my shoes are Dolce Gabbana”.

His family plays a key role. He mentions his Dad and the house that he gave him as a present and his reaction is unforgettable. To Jam, there is nothing more wonderful than a proud Mom, his children and the example he set for them. They will never need anything, thanks to Jam’s hard work.

‘Desahogo’

Me complace amarte Disfruto acariciarte Y ponerte a dormir Es escalofriante Tenerte de frente Hacerte sonreír.

Yeah yeah

Muchos dicen conocerme Y es muy fácil especular Y no los juzgo eso es humano y natural

Oye

A veces uno cree saber de los demás Pero ni un 20% es decir ni la mitad Todo lo que yo he vivido Ya son 39 aquí de pie yo sigo No pudieron mis enemigos Nah Oye Y la verdad sacando cuentas Mirando al espejo Yo fui mi único enemigo Del bareto pa la percoCada día más terco Sin disciplina para qué tener talento Pero Diosito me dio otra oportunidad Levanté la cara y no la pienso bajar

N.I.C.K

Colombia a mi me hizo renacer En verdad la palabra tiene poder Quién iba a apostar y quién iba a creer Que desde Medellín el mundo yo iba a romper No hay recuerdo que no duela Zapatos sin suela La misma ropa con orines pa la escuela

Oye ja!

Pero qué ironía Ahora son Dolce Gabanna Pa salir todos los días Y aunque lo material no llena como lo sentimental No hay un premio que se pueda comparar Ja! Como el rostro de mi viejo al observar La nueva casa que le regaléaunque no era Navidad La gente que estuvo conmigo Gracias a los fans Y a Ciego por ser mi mejor amigo Compañero de batallas En este destino Eso vale más que 20 discos de platino Dame un break para decir esto: Ver la cara de mi madre orgullosa no hay una escena más poderosa Que darle un beso y una rosa Mis tres hijas mis canciones más valiosas Y mi chamaquito viendo cómo goza Lo que su padre trabajó pa que nunca le falte nada Si fallé en algún momento doy la cara Y pido perdón por mis errores Soy humano Gracias a DY Por siempre darme la mano El Ñejo, el broko ese es mi hermano Ja!Barrio Obrero y todo Cataño Ojalá pase esto pa ponernos ready Y hacer un Choli el otro año Puerto Rico

Me complace amarte Disfruto acariciarte Y ponerte a dormir Es escalofriante Tenerte de frente Hacerte sonreír Ir ir ir

A veces pensando antes de dormir Aunque siempre duermo poco Con los sueños viven nunca estarán rotos Buscando motivación Como cuando todavía no había pegado ni una canción Inseguridades como cualquier otroEs mejor darle un abrazo al que me pida una foto Pues sigo siendo el mismo Pero con más ceros Sigo siendo el mismo pero más sincero Yeah
