Compases literally translates to "beats" or "measures" in music. It's a word that directly relates to the rhythm and structure of a song, making it particularly interesting for a music learning app.
In the lyrics, "Niño adolescente pone los compases" (Adolescent boy sets the beats), it refers to someone creating the musical foundation or rhythm for the song. This highlights the creative process behind the music, offering a glimpse into how a song is built from its core elements.
This song is JC Reyes's declaration that he keeps chasing his goals no matter what gets in his way, "pase lo que pase" (whatever happens).
He raps about dodging distractions and disguises, staying grounded despite envy from others, and refusing to let street life or the risk of jail change his principles. The recurring line "I'm going to get a million" captures his drive to build wealth on his own terms, working fast and quietly to avoid getting caught ("the one in blue" is a nod to the police).
Underneath the bravado, the song is about resilience: staying focused on your own path and not letting outside pressure, jealousy, or danger stop you from reaching your goals.
