Verse 1

As a kid, an altar boy, grown up, a trap artist

And a couple more things, that I did for money

I've never been faithful, not even to my barber

A superstar, but human first

I’ve got them running, and I’m not a coach

But that's good, I push them to be better

P f*ckin' R, we grew up in the heat

That’s the edge that makes me a winner

In France I'm a cursed composer

I couldn’t feel the haters; my day was going great

But a shooting by a white boy ruined it for me

And a d*ck-sucking president who doesn't do sh*t

Verse 1

Rest in peace, Kobe

2020 and racism's worse than COVID

A Black guy with a gun, that's already a criminal

But a white boy straps one on and they say it's a hobby

What’s up, Christian? Is Jesus not watching us anymore?

Or are you waiting for him to turn away and just keep time on the güira?

I do have values, they don't expire

The truth hurts them, they prefer a lie

But Little Richard was always better than Elvis

And baby boomers stopped being babies a long time ago

Woman didn't come from man's rib

It was us who came out of her pelvis

They complain that they gave me songwriter of the year

But not for those things that really hurt us

For God's sake, lady

There are more important things

Than sitting down to criticize a singer's achievements

Like urging the youth to be voters

And to kick the f*ck out the ones who screwed us before

Over my own career, I put my people first

I put my people first

But there's always a jerk who calls us ignorant

More important things

Like fighting for immigrants' rights

Like yesterday another motherf*cker killed his lover

Like the American dream exists until you wake up

Chorus 1

And it's f*cked up that they won't let you breathe

And that a badge is a license to kill

But being white is what makes you lethal

And being black is what makes you a target

Easy to shoot

And it's f*cked up to go to church to pray

And run the risk that they might rape you

That's worse than sinning and I can't stop it, because

Outro 1

If I could change the world, I swear that I'd do it

And if my money could end poverty, I'd give it all

But no, it's not my fault

Before I was born all this already existed

Outro 2

All we can do is teach and learn, live and grow

To understand that there's always gonna be something that will hurt us

To have faith, to believe that it's gonna be possible

To be able to be me, to let you be you, that's the best prize I can have

SONG MEANING

Bad Bunny’s “COMPOSITOR DEL AÑO” is equal parts victory lap and wake-up call. The Puerto Rican superstar looks back on his unlikely path from altar boy to global trap icon, flexing his success while reminding listeners he is “humano primero.” Over pounding beats he pokes fun at haters, celebrates his Caribbean roots, and proudly shouts out P-R, all with his trademark swagger and humor.

Yet beneath the bravado lies a sharp social critique. Bad Bunny rails against racism, police brutality, gun violence, religious hypocrisy, misogyny, and anti-immigrant prejudice. He mourns Kobe Bryant, backs Black Lives Matter, and urges young people to vote. Even as he owns the title of “Composer of the Year,” he insists true success is using that spotlight to push for justice and let everyone be themselves. The track is a reminder that applause and awards mean little if society stays broken—so he raps, protests, and parties, all at once, hoping music can spark the change his money alone cannot buy.
