Tito Torbellino Jr.'s "El De La O" tells a story of ambition, struggle, and rising through the ranks. The singer reflects on a past where life was expensive, and he felt nobody believed in him when he left his neighborhood. He wanted to progress, but since no one gave him anything or could be trusted, he eventually turned to drug trafficking: "me puse a traficar" [I started to traffic].
This decision led to the law pursuing him, but he claims they haven't been able to catch him: "hasta el día de hoy conmigo no pueden dar" [to this day they can't get me]. He took advantage of an opportunity, returned to his homeland, and is now fighting for his territory. The song also touches on nostalgia, as he misses the streets and his mother's scolding, and remembers a friend he can no longer visit, asking for flowers to be brought to him with a message that "el pirata siempre lo va a recordar" [the pirate will always remember him]. Now, with power, he has people patrolling the city, and it seems things have changed for the better, with a new name for the area and a new group called "gente nueva" [new people].
