Hey

Sometimes recognition takes time

And they don't wanna see it

But we keep grinding behind this damn mic

Big Fu Gera Mexamafia, Razor on the beat, bro!

From the downtown zone, Hermosillo's in the house!

Friends aren't here, almost all of them left

My girl doesn't get which things come first

Because Diana's gotta eat so I go chase that cash

And you call me a sell-out when I asked you for a favor

Ain't it true, dog, blessed bad luck

Need on the block is what made us tough

We don't fear the cell, much less losing you

If they aimed a strap at dad and threatened his life

In my garden there're no flowers, just bitter memories

They shout how much I owe and remind me what I'm worth

This afternoon I'm out, same old streets

The mood is grim, December's closing in

In the morning I braid the hair of the one who lent her womb

To bring this rapper into the world at barely twenty

Don't say you get me when sometimes even I don't understand

How what hurts me most in the streets is what I sell the most

Don't say you understand when sometimes even I don't

Roll it to the right, spark it up, I'll light it, whoa

We're facing them head-on but they don't see it

Cause fear stayed home but they don't believe it

Respect on my block costs more than two hundred

But they don't see it, don't see it, don't see it

We're facing them head-on but they don't see it

Cause fear stayed home but they don't believe it

Respect on my block costs more than two hundred

But they don't see it, don't see it, don't see it

There're screams outside while in here it rains

It could hit anyone, dog, that's my gift

Yeah, dad wasn't home but I know how he moves

I learned on the street by myself to never betray

Being alone brought success yet there're doubts

Like going back home with no pride and only debts

Or tighten my belt for bread, no family, new smells

Without my city, my bed, or my two lovely loves

Nights for you, babe, I wake up and you're not here

The mic pulled me out the hood but the hood stands up for me

What do you want from me, huh

If it's a hell where I always live

Don't expect me to change for you, I chose this, my crew comes first

How many heard the words I once said

I called it, bro, it'd be few who never fake it

Far from mama but I made family with others

I never expected anything from you and now I give everything for a few

We're facing them head-on but they don't see it

Cause fear stayed home but they don't believe it

Respect on my route costs more than two hundred

But they don't see it, don't see it, don't see it

We're facing them head-on but they don't see it

Cause fear stayed home but they don't believe it

Respect on my block costs more than two hundred

But they don't see it, don't see it, don't see it

varo — money

Varo is a colloquial and somewhat informal term for "money" in Mexican Spanish. It's similar to saying "bucks" or "cash" in English.

In the song, Gera MX uses varo to highlight the struggles and motivations behind his hustle, stating, "Porque Diana tiene que comer por eso busco el varo" (Because Diana has to eat, that's why I look for the money). This word choice adds a layer of authenticity and street credibility to his narrative, reflecting the everyday language of his environment.

Gera MX and Gordo Fu's "No Lo Ven" is a powerful track about the grind and the struggle that often goes unseen by others. It's a look into the harsh realities of street life and the sacrifices made to get by, especially when you're trying to make a name for yourself in music.

The artists talk about working hard behind the microphone, even when "el reconocimiento tarda" [recognition is slow]. They touch on the difficult choices, like prioritizing money for family over personal desires, and the loyalty forged through hardship: "La cuadra por necesidad fue que nos hizo fuertes" [The block made us strong out of necessity]. It's a blunt and honest song about staying true to your roots and your team, even when others don't understand or acknowledge the path you've chosen.
