They don't know how many times I had to lose
There were times that flat-out there was nothing to eat
All that only helped me to learn
Today everything looks better
Today I'm stronger than yesterday
God watches over my path wherever I go
I know that there are fake friends and I know who they are
But just in case I pack a Superón
I'd rather they cry over another b*stard than cry over me
And we're staying sharp on the radios
In the Maserati I'm rolling with Beto by my side
Carlitos and Junior on the tent-on
Nothing but corridos in blue ink, man
Here it goes, buddy Bayo
That's it
How's it go?
It's been 17 years inside the cartel
I've walked through hell and I'm still standing here
I fought hard but I pulled through
The world is for the one that dares
If others can, I can too
This life is deceitful, it can eat you up
Family is first and they must always be
My wife Beba turned into my support
Four girls, my drive, as long as I can I'll be here
Always on point with my cousin and with El Rayo
They know that we don't back down
Piolo is in command
Borrega, bro, you're missed a ton

SONG MEANING

“Mejor Que Ayer” is Adriel Favela’s proud declaration that hard times can forge unbreakable spirits. Over a backdrop of corridos, he recounts days when there was literally no food on the table, years spent risking everything inside a cartel, and the pain of losing close friends. Yet every setback becomes a lesson, sharpening his resolve until hoy todo se ve mejor. Trust in God, unshakable self-belief, and an ever-watchful eye on fake friends keep him moving forward in a Maserati rather than on foot.

At the core of the song is loyalty. Family comes first, especially his wife Beba and their four daughters who fuel his drive. Favela salutes the crew that never “raja” (backs down) and mourns those who are gone, reminding us that success means little without the people who share it. “Mejor Que Ayer” is part victory lap, part cautionary tale: the world can devour the unprepared, but those who dare, persevere, and stay true can stand taller, stronger, and—yes—better than yesterday.
