This song, "Gracias A Papa" by Grupo Codiciado and Axel Rodriguez, is a really personal shout-out to family and a declaration of self-made success. The singer starts by thanking his dad for giving him "la jugada" [the play/the move], which sounds like a big head start or a key lesson in life. He also thanks his brother for being with him, representing their home in "la perla tapatía" [Guadalajara, Jalisco].
He's super confident, saying that even though he's not always around, no one can defeat him. He credits his upbringing and education for this strength, feeling like he has "la voz de Dios" [the voice of God] guiding him. He's only 14 in his journey, but he's already looking far ahead and feels the family name in his blood. He's not scared of anything, and he's not trying to be flashy, just focused on working hard on his tough path. He hints at big things, saying he can't reveal too many details, but he's grateful to God for listening to him and for his friends. The song ends with him giving thanks to his family again and dedicating this corrido to them.
