They criticize me, but they don't really know me

They say my character is strong, but they don't know why

They judge and tarnish my name for the things I do

It's easy to talk when you have food on the table

I'm 25 years old

I don't regret anything if this is what I sought

I was born in Michoacán and raised in Houston

I started washing dishes and picked up my skills

But who doesn't like money?

I'm not rich, but I never hold back

A Buchanan's that's 18

I've got the money in my pores

All over Texas, they see me working

And there in Vegas, they see me drinking

A purple drink

Chino and Julio, they never let me down

I'm proud of Genarito

His mind is already on the business

I'm Toni Duarte, the one with the black Challenger

And that's how his homies from La O sound, man

And pure Manzana Records!

Always about business, I don't like to talk too much

In this business, I don't like to talk too much

I count the people I can trust

Keep my mouth shut and always give way to others

Those who criticize me are just jealous, I can tell

In the school of hard knocks, I learned several rules

Be grateful to those who helped me

Only God knows my destiny and what's to come

I'll stay with those from the beginning until the end

But who doesn't like money?

I'm not rich, but I never hold back

A Buchanan's that's 18

I've got the money in my pores

All over Texas, they see me working

And there in Vegas, they see me drinking

A purple drink

Chino and Julio, they never let me down

I'm proud of Genarito

His mind is already on the business

I'm Toni Duarte, the one with the black Challenger

refuego — fire / commotion / trouble

Refuego is a less common, more colloquial term that literally refers to a renewed or intense fire, but in slang, it often means commotion, trouble, or a heated situation.

In the context of this song, when Toni Duarte sings, "Al que le gusta andar en el refuego," he's saying he's someone who enjoys being in the thick of action, excitement, or even dangerous situations. It paints a picture of a person who thrives in intense environments, making it a captivating word choice.

Get ready to meet Toni Duarte, the man behind "El Challenger Negro"! This song is all about his journey and how he's not afraid to be himself, even when people criticize him. He sings, "Me critican y no me conocen bien" [They criticize me and don't know me well], making it clear he doesn't let the talk get to him. He's proud of where he came from, born in Michoacán and raised in Houston, and he's worked hard for everything he has, starting from washing dishes.

He's honest about his love for money, asking, "¿a quien no le gusta el dinero?" [who doesn't like money?], but he also shows his loyalty to his friends like Chino and Julio. You'll hear about him working hard in Texas and relaxing in Las Vegas, enjoying a Buchanan's 18. Toni Duarte, the guy with the black Challenger, is all about staying in the game and being true to himself. He's learned a lot from the streets and values gratitude and trust, stating, "Solo mi dios sabe mi destino y que está por venir" [Only my God knows my destiny and what is to come].
