Verse 1
I'm happy with friends, they don't see me bummed
I enjoy life like it should be
When I shoulder death, I'll leave happy
I'm good, a few little cans 'cause thirst hit me
The night is really long, I'm gonna be at a hundred
With Razers and bikes and some girls for pleasure
I don't owe anyone, I've always been real chill if it's required
Chorus 1
I spend it, I spend it always up and down
Like a star I shine everywhere
And I don't mess with bad stuff
Whether in a club or private spots that they'll see me enjoying myself
Popping cans, but real ice cold
And I haven't backed down
Chorus 1
Because they didn't teach me like that
Verse 2
I'm about action, if it's about blows, I'm in
If it's about women I'm a bad*ss
Friends are few and I count them on one hand
Work, I always have energy to work
My family, I'll always look after them
Feet planted firm, advice from my dad
I roll how I want and money never matters to me
And it'll always be that way
Chorus 2
I spend it, I spend it always up and down
Like a star I shine everywhere
And I don't mess with bad stuff
Whether in a club or private spots that they'll see me enjoying myself
Popping cans, but real ice cold
And I haven't backed down
Chorus 2
Because they didn't teach me like that

SONG MEANING

El Alegre paints the portrait of a charismatic party-lover who refuses to let worry dim his shine. He cruises through nightclubs and private get-togethers with icy beers, roaring motorcycles, and a tight circle of friends, celebrating life “like it should be.” Behind the flashy fun lies a code: he owes nothing to anyone, keeps trouble at bay, and stands ready to defend his people when push comes to shove.

While the narrator boasts of girls, glitter, and a non-stop good time, he also highlights what truly anchors him: hard work, loyalty, and the lessons of family. Money is never the goal; living joyfully, staying humble, and protecting loved ones are. In short, the song is a toast to balancing thrill-seeking nights with grounded values, all while shining “like a star” wherever he goes.
