What happens when hip-hop bravado collides with raw heartbreak? âRespuestaâ finds 6ix9ine opening his diary and firing back at an ex who, in his view, has forgotten every sacrifice he made for her. Line by line he tallies the receipts: pausing his career to boost hers, footing bills for lavish gifts, even stepping in as a father figure. The track swings between chest-thumping boasts about platinum hits and a surprisingly tender griefâhe admits sleepless nights and tears while waiting for a simple âthank you.â Lenierâs smooth, tropical hook floats above the gritty verses, adding a bittersweet melody to the confession.
Underneath the flashy jewelry and name-dropping, the song wrestles with a universal theme: toxic love where both partners feel wronged. 6ix9ine claims his ex rewrites history, labels him âthe bad guy,â and hides behind a figurative mask; she, in turn, accuses him of wasting her time. The rapper shrugs at her new circle of friends, insists they canât match his status, and ultimately wishes her wellâthough not without a final sting. âRespuestaâ is less a breakup song and more a courtroom testimony set to a Latin-infused beat: part self-defense, part confession, and completely unfiltered.
