Few friendships, only the most sincere ones, I keep on the list

Few are the friends that helped me and that is not forgotten

Those who crossed the line, now come alone, that's hypocrisy

They don't want what I have, they want me not to have it and that's pure envy

I have nothing but my word is worth more than everything

For a good friend my hand is always there and it's worth gold

For those that value me, they know very well that we're up for anything

And when it's needed, if Lupe is needed, we'll hit it with Toño

And it's that the envious one is more dangerous and not because of who he is

Supposedly they're friends, but behind your back they never forgive you

I stay on my own thing and I don't need them even for laughs

Remember that Quico envied El Chavo and he had nothing

And isn't that right?

People

Only Dos Carnales, gentlemen

And Afinarte Music

I go forward and that leaves several offended

Now that it comes up I'll tell one thing to all the bitter ones

That if at some point you offered me something, I'm grateful

But it wasn't given, you sure f*cked me and it wasn't just for a bit

I'm not bragging or boasting, that's not my style

I'm just making clear that I'm no pushover and I'm right here, ready

That wasn't the point, but taking the chance and singing I tell you

That I'm a good friend but also bad if I'm an enemy

And it's that the envious one is more dangerous and not because of who he is

Supposedly they're friends, but behind your back they never forgive you

I stay on my own thing and I don't need them even for laughs

Remember that Quico envied El Chavo and he had nothing

SONG MEANING

El Envidioso is a spirited norteño anthem about guarding your circle and protecting your peace. The singer salutes the few, genuine friends who helped him climb, insisting that a good reputation and an honest word are worth more than any fortune. He thanks those who lent a hand, yet reminds everyone that his progress came from hard work, not handouts.

The chorus flips the spotlight onto the envious onlookers who pretend to be pals while secretly wishing for his downfall. Their smiles hide sharp knives, and the narrator won’t waste even a laugh on them. With a witty nod to Mexican pop culture, he compares these haters to Quico from El Chavo del 8—forever jealous, yet empty-handed. The moral is clear: cherish real loyalty, stay alert to hypocrisy, and push forward with confidence and a tight-knit crew.
