Joseando is a Spanish slang term derived from the English word "hustling." It means to work hard, often in an informal or unconventional way, to make money or achieve success.
In the song, Eladio Carrion uses it to reflect on his past struggles, asking, "¿Dónde estaba yo? Yo estaba joseando, baby" (Where was I? I was hustling, baby). This word captures the essence of his journey from humble beginnings to success, making it relatable and impactful for listeners.
Eladio Carrion's "Sauce Boy Freestyle 6" is a powerful anthem about staying true to yourself amidst criticism and fake friends. He's basically saying, "Everyone wants to give advice now, everyone thinks they know me, but where were you when I had nothing?"
He talks about how people offer advice "como si eso es lo mejor pa' mí" [as if that's what's best for me] but they don't know his life or fight his demons. He remembers the hard times, "¿Dónde estabas tú cuando no tenía nada?" [Where were you when I had nothing?], and how he was hustling while others were nowhere to be found. Now that he's successful, dressed in Amiri instead of Old Navy, everyone has an opinion. But Eladio is mentally strong, guided by God, and focused on his fans who are his "gasolina" [gasoline]. He knows there are people who want to see him fall, but he's ready for them, trusting only himself and his close circle. It's a blunt message to the haters and the disloyal, letting them know he's always one step ahead.
