I'm not going back, to poverty

And although many wanted it

I'm not going to give you the pleasure

I have plenty of reasons

And they are what motivate me

For the train never stop

God always holds me in his hands

I appreciate what is coming

And what had to happen

I know that money is not everything

But it did occupy it

In order to progress

From a very young age I proposed

Not staying with the desire

In this life never

I'm not saying we're on top

But yes higher

Where have you been?

Before there was none, I will always remember

And I'm not complaining, it's what motivates me the most

Good friends I have and had when I started

And now a team that supports me and so do I

I bring a force with me, it is my carnal

Together I know that nothing will stop us

In this world everything can be achieved

God ahead, because he is going to guide us

My parents are what I love the most

When I saw them fighting

I knew, I had to act

From school they announce my retirement

In my passion I took the shot

And I started to generate

We leave fear and move forward

God with me at the wheel

And we continue without stopping

Now a smile appears on me

When I look at my family

Enjoy life

Many goals remain in sight

But I don't worry

I know I'm going to achieve them

For now I'm still working

The future well thinking

And in my roll, just like that

Before there was none, I will always remember

And I'm not complaining, it's what motivates me the most

Good friends I have and had when I started

And now a team that supports me and so do I

I bring a force with me, it is my carnal

Together I know that nothing will stop us

In this world everything can be achieved

God ahead because he is going to guide us

This is a song about climbing out of poverty and refusing to slide back down. It opens with a promise: "No vuelvo pa' atrás, pa' la pobreza" (I'm not going back to poverty). Notice the "pa'", a casual, spoken shortening of "para" you will hear all the time in Mexican music. He knows plenty of people would love to see him fail, and "El gusto no les voy a dar" (I won't give them the satisfaction) is his answer.

He is honest about money too. "Yo sé que el dinero no lo es todo" (I know money isn't everything), "Pero sí lo ocupaba" (but I did need it). Here ocupar means "to need", a very Mexican use of the verb that a textbook will not teach you. Another regional gem is chamaco (kid), in "Desde muy chamaco me propuse" (ever since I was a little kid I set myself a goal), and carnal, Mexican slang for a brother or a close friend: "Traigo una fuerza conmigo, es mi carnal" (I've got a strength with me, it's my brother).

The second verse gets personal. Seeing his parents "batallando" (struggling) pushed him to act, he left school, and he started to earn. The chorus keeps coming back to faith and teamwork, ending on the title line "Dios por delante, porque él nos va a guiar" (God first, because he will guide us). It is a feel-good hustle anthem, and the line about now smiling while watching his family enjoy life is the sweetest payoff in it.
