Papa Lyrics in English 6ix9ine , Lenier

Home / Lyrics Translation / 6ix9ine / Papa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Papa by 6ix9ine from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Yesterday I started to pray, to see if God heard me

Because I needed somebody to talk with

And after praying so much I felt a voice that told me

'In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit'

I calmed my emotions and I told the creator

'Why did you make love with lies and betrayal?'

'Why are there so many poor? Why do so many people die?'

'Why does the judge release the guilty and condemn the innocent?'

'Why so many wars and so much inequality?'

'Why does a flag mark every nationality?'

'Why is there a border that can't be crossed?'

'Why are there priests in the church that don't tell the truth?'

Chorus 1

Sometimes I think

Sometimes I think that you don't exist'

Tell me where you were

In the moments that I felt sad

When I needed you

You never showed up

It's spinning upside down

This world that you made

Verse 2

Then God answered me 'My son, I've watched over you

But you are the one to blame for everything that has happened to you

Even if you don't believe it, from above I've watched you

And I've forgiven your errors and all your sins

I created this perfect world

Just like the paradise where there are no living nor dead

But they've destroyed it for me, they've turned it into garbage

And they've believed in the devil, not in the owner of the heavens

I created this earth and then I created you

I gave you a wife and some kids that make you very happy

Since I've never asked you for anything for what I gave you

You have to believe in me'

Today I got up from bed

Ready to get mine and I start the prayer

Thugs want to mess with me

Kill me, they want to see me in La Blandino

God please keep all those rats away from the road

Friends of benefit, not of the person

A friend isn't just talk, a friend doesn't betray

I took the food out of my mouth to give it to you

And you are the first one that out there talks about me

Outro

Oh God, no

I keep laughing so I don't cry

Do good without looking at who

Because everything has its end

Oh no

I keep laughing so I don't cry

Do good without looking at who

Because everything has its end

SONG MEANING

“Papa” unfolds like an intense late-night prayer where 6ix9ine and Lenier trade raw questions with God, asking why the world feels full of lies, poverty, war, crooked judges, and fake friends; their verses paint the picture of people spinning “the world you made” the wrong way. In the middle of this spiritual debate, God answers back, saying the planet was created perfect and loving, but humans chose greed, violence, and betrayal, turning paradise into “basura.” The rappers admit their own faults yet beg for protection from enemies who want them “en La Blandino” (the cemetery). Despite the darkness, the chorus repeats “Sigo riendo para no llorar” (“I keep laughing so I don’t cry”), offering a simple survival code: do good without looking at who because everything eventually ends. Mixing English-speaking New York grit with Puerto Rican soul, the track blends prayer, confession, and street testimony into one urgent message: faith and personal responsibility must punch through doubt if we hope to fix the chaos we helped create.
