Intro

In my cell, with my sorrows

I'm serving out my sentence

Intro

And I recall your warning

When through tears I heard you say

Intro

That I was gonna self-destroy

That the streets would lead me to death

Or behind bars would be my end

Chorus 1

I'm guilty

Of my life ending like this

I'm guilty

And I repented way too late

I'm guilty

Another year I watch go by

I'm guilty

Here I rot in loneliness

Verse 1

And here you are

On another visit to La Victoria

Verse 1

I was the one who ruined our story

And I keep your advice in my mind

It replays, babe, at random

What a shame, they slapped me with thirty years

Even if you're mine, one day you'll belong to someone else

And it hurts that our castle was made of sand

You know me well, I'm a devil with a good soul

Chorus 2

I'm guilty

Of my life ending like this

I'm guilty

And I repented way too late

I'm guilty

Another year I watch go by

I'm guilty

Here I rot in loneliness

Verse 2

The food is sh*t

And the bed is so cold

Verse 2

I miss your warmth, you used to say it so much

Damn, babe, my bad

I turned into garbage

Verse 2

All your dreams, now they're melancholy

I'm the villain of the tale

The evil thug everyone sees as scum

I wrecked the future with my deeds

But nobody will get between us and our pact

I'm the criminal who murdered his own life

The only good thing I had was you, my princess

I'm here for my messed-up philosophy

For my slip-up and dumb method

I confess with no hypocrisy

That I believed

That in the movie I wouldn't die

Chorus 3

I'm guilty

Of my life ending like this

I'm guilty

And I repented way too late

I'm guilty

Another year I watch go by

I'm guilty

Here I rot in loneliness

Outro

This song is dedicated

To all those people

Who, because of life's mistakes

Are serving a sentence

Nobody learns from someone else's head

With the King

Lapiz Conciente, you know it

Guilty

SONG MEANING

“Culpable” is a raw confession from a man sitting behind bars who looks back at the choices that shattered his future and his romance. Romeo Santos pours emotion into every line while Lápiz Conciente paints the gritty details of prison life: bad food, cold beds, endless loneliness. The singer admits again and again, “Yo soy culpable”—I am guilty—accepting that his own reckless street life drove him either to death or to a cell. Memories of his partner’s warnings echo in his head like a broken record, and the regret is so heavy it feels like another set of chains.

Beyond its personal tale, the song is a cautionary anthem for anyone flirting with danger. Over a fusion of smooth bachata guitar and hard-hitting rap verses, “Culpable” reminds listeners that no thrill is worth throwing away the people and dreams that truly matter. It is both a heartfelt apology to a lost love and a wake-up call to stay off the path that leads to isolation, despair, and wasted years.
