Verse 1

Today I want to confess

To confess my sins

I want to tell you my story

That nobody has ever been told

When I was seven years

When I was seven years (old)

Mom and Dad separated

There were few good moments

And there were many bad moments

I never had toys

Santa Claus never gave me presents

I only had a guitar without strings

And a stick microphone

Prechorus 1

I learned about fake friends

I learned to ignore the ungrateful

But I always walked with my feet on the ground

Because I didn't have shoes

Chorus 1

Suffering was my lot in life

Or: I have had a lot of suffering in this life

Crying when I didn't even have tears

But I always knew that my luck would come

The kid from the neighborhood

The living legend

Verse 2

When there was no bread for breakfast

I was satisfied

Or: I settled for what I had

When there was no car, I was walking

Before, I felt like the owner of everything

Or: I used to feel like the boss of everything

Now I'm the same fool with money and fame

Now those who weren't looking at me yesterday look at me

Now the same ones who were ignoring me are throwing themselves at me

Before, I was losing, I was never winning

And now in this game, I'm the missing piece

But my father watches over me from above

And on the right path he guides me

And I only ask him to give me health

And blessings for my family

Now I have people who hate me

Now I have people who love me

They say that men like me

They're neither forgotten nor die

Chorus 2

Suffering was my lot in life

Crying when I didn't even have tears

But I always knew that my luck would come

The kid from the neighborhood

The living legend

la ficha que faltaba — the missing piece

This powerful phrase literally means "the piece that was missing." It's often used metaphorically, like saying someone is the "missing piece of the puzzle."

After describing his difficult past, the artist declares "ahora en este juego, soy la ficha que faltaba" (now in this game, I'm the missing piece). He uses this metaphor to show he's gone from being overlooked to being the essential, game-changing player. It's a memorable expression of self-worth and success.

Bori is 6ix9ine’s most personal confessional yet: over a dramatic rap beat laced with Lenier’s soulful voice, the rainbow-haired star rewinds to a childhood when Santa never came, shoes were a luxury, and a stick served as a microphone. Each lyric feels like a page torn from his diary, painting vivid scenes of family breakdown, empty breakfast tables, and a young dreamer determined to turn silence into song.

Fast forward to today and that “chamaquito del barrio” has become a “leyenda viva.” Fame and fortune arrive, but so do envy and doubt. Through it all, 6ix9ine keeps his feet on the ground, guided by a father who watches from above and fueled by a single prayer: health and blessings for his family. The track is ultimately a victory lap for resilience, showing listeners that with grit, gratitude, and a killer flow, pain can be remixed into power.
