If you want I'll teach you how to do it
Whoever talks gets a beating
Whoever talks gets sent to heaven
No doubt, that's first
If you turn into a traitor
Or you betray all your values
There's no money that can get it back
There's no money that can help you
They were hunting me while I was feinting
I hustled until I hit the top
We never think about cleavage
Only money, never the bullsh*t
Let them throw, let them throw
Let them throw the stacks, but of fifties
Let them throw, let them throw
Let them throw the stacks of hundreds and twenties
We hustle only for mom
She deserves everything that I earn
I don't trust people that show up and s*ck me off
I owe nobody, I don't owe anything
You sell yourself just for fame
For nothing, for nothing, for nothing, for nothing
I don't owe anybody anything
I started alone from nothing
For nothing, for nothing, for nothing, for nothing
Whoever envied me wished me ill
He saw how I was rising
For nothing, for nothing, for nothing, for nothing
I don't owe anybody anything
I started alone from nothing
For nothing, for nothing, for nothing, for nothing
Whoever envied me wished me ill
He saw how I was rising
He saw how I was elevating
He saw how I went up
He saw that I never changed
And that I've always got the street inside me
They saw that I didn't give a damn
That I'd earn whatever in a day
They saw that I never called
Whatever would happen would happen
And I've always been a man in the street
And also at the station
I never hide, though sometimes I hear
That some of these guys would kill
There's only one life
I've got the list in case someday
It's my turn to leave first
Let them all go with me in line
I no longer believe the biggest show-off on the street
I carry thousands of problems in my backpack
I've always been loyal, I'm always from the L
For nothing, for nothing, for nothing, for nothing
I don't owe anybody anything
I started alone from nothing
For nothing, for nothing, for nothing, for nothing
Whoever envied me wished me ill
He saw how I was elevating
For nothing, for nothing, for nothing, for nothing
I don't owe anybody anything
I started alone from nothing
For nothing, for nothing, for nothing, for nothing
Whoever envied me wished me ill
He saw how I was elevating
Let hunger kill you, I killed you with cardboard
But there aren't any stories left
We're rolling with a ton of craziness
We're in a ton of craziness
We're from the, we're from the
We make the war
We're in a ton of craziness
We're in a ton of craziness

vacilahesitates / shows off

Vacila is a versatile Spanish verb that can mean 'to hesitate' or 'to waver'. However, in urban and street contexts, especially in Latin American slang, it often takes on the meaning of 'to show off', 'to flaunt', or 'to mess around'.

In Morad's song, when he sings "Ya no creo de la calle el que más vacila," he's likely using the slang meaning. He's expressing a disillusionment with those who merely 'show off' or 'front' in the streets, suggesting that true respect isn't earned through bravado but through genuine actions and loyalty. This dual meaning makes it an interesting word to explore.

Morad's "De Nada" is a powerful anthem about staying true to yourself and your roots, no matter what. He starts by saying, "Si tú quieres te enseño a hacerlo / El que habla se le da pa'l pelo" [If you want, I'll teach you how to do it / The one who talks gets their hair pulled], which is a blunt warning against being a snitch or a traitor. He emphasizes that if you become a betrayer or disrespect your values, "No hay dinero que lo recupere" [There's no money that can recover it].

Morad makes it clear that his hustle is for his mom, stating, "Se busca solo pa' la mama / Ella se merece todo lo que gane" [He only looks for it for his mom / She deserves everything he earns]. He's proud to say, "A ninguno yo le debo de nada / Empecé yo solo de la nada" [I don't owe anything to anyone / I started alone from nothing], highlighting his self-made journey. He also touches on the envy he faced, with people watching him rise: "El que ennvidia a mí me deseaba / Veía como me elebava" [The one who envies me desired me / Saw how I was rising]. It's a real and honest look at loyalty, ambition, and remembering where you came from.
