[Lyrics of “Bori”]
[Intro: Lenier]
Hmm, yeah, ayy-ayy-ayy
Hmm, na-na-na-na-na, eh-eh
[Verse 1: Lenier & 6ix9ine]
Today I want to confess, confess my sins
I want to tell my story, that nobody has heard
When I was seven years old, mom and dad separated
There were few good moments
And many bad moments
I never had toys, Santa Claus never gave me gifts
I only had a guitar without strings, and a wooden microphone
I learned from 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: Lenier]
Suffering was my lot in this life
Crying when I had no tears left
But I always knew that my luck would come
The kid from the neighborhood, the living legend
[Verse 2: 6ix9ine]
When there was no bread for breakfast, I settled
When there was no car, I walked
Before I felt like the owner of everything
Now I’m the same fool with money and fame
Now those who didn’t see me yesterday, look at me
Now the same ones who ignored me, chase me
Before, I always lost, never won
And now in this game, I’m the missing piece
But my father watches over me from above (From above)
And on the right path, he guides me (He guides me)
And I just ask him to give me health, and blessings for my family (Family)
[Interlude: Lenier]
Eh-eh-eh
Eh-eh-eh
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Eh-eh-oh
Eh-eh
[Bridge: 6ix9ine]
Now I have people who hate me
Now I have people who love me
They say that men like me, are not forgotten nor do they die
[Chorus: Lenier]
Suffering was my lot in this life
Crying when I had no tears left
But I always knew that my luck would come
The kid from the neighborhood, the living legend

[Letra de “Bori”]
[Intro: Lenier]
Hmm, yeah, ayy-ayy-ayy
Hmm, na-na-na-na-na, eh-eh
[Verso 1: Lenier & 6ix9ine]
Hoy quiero confesarme, confesar mis pecado’
Quiero contarle mi historia, que a nadie se le ha conta’o
Cuando tenía siete años, mamá y papá se separaron
Fueron poco’ lo’ momento’ bueno’
Y fueron muchos los momento’ malo’
Yo nunca tuve juguete’, a mí Santa Claus nunca me dio regalo’
Yo solo tuve una guitarra sin cuerda, y un micrófono de palo
Aprendí de los falso’ amigo’, aprendí a ignorar lo’ ingrato’
Pero siempre caminé con los pies sobre la tierra porque no tuve zapatos
Estribillo: Lenier]
Sufrir me tocó a mí en esta vida
Llorar cuando ni lágrima’ tenía
Pero siempre supe que mi suerte llegaría
El chamaquito del barrio, la leyenda viva
[Verso 2: 6ix9ine]
Cuando no había pan pal desayuno, me conformaba
Cuando no había carro, caminaba
Antes me sentía el dueño de todo
Ahora soy el mismo bobo con dinero y fama
Ahora me miran los que ayer no me miraban
Ahora me tiran los mismos que me ignoraban
Ante’ perdía, nunca ganaba
Y ahora en este juego soy la ficha que faltaba
Pero mi padre a mí me cuida desde arriba (Desde arriba)
Y por el buen camino él me guía (Él me guía)
Y yo solo le pido que me dé salú’, y bendición pa’ mi familia (Familia)
[Interludio: Lenier]
Eh-eh-eh
Eh-eh-eh
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Eh-eh-oh
Eh-eh
[Puente: 6ix9ine]
Ahora tengo gente que me odia
Ahora tengo gente que me quiere
Dicen que los hombres como yo, no se olvidan ni se mueren
[Estribillo: Lenier]
Sufrir me tocó a mí en esta vida
Llorar cuando ni lágrima’ tenía
Pero siempre supe que mi suerte llegaría
El chamaquito del barrio, la leyenda viva
