Sigue by Beny Jr Lyrics Meaning – An Ode to Perseverance Amid Adversity
Lyrics
Esto es una locura, una locura
Ay, qué locura
Haciendo cosas que solamente yo te diría “No se te ocurra” (no se te ocurra)
Lo malo de la mente no se borra
Algunos se pensaron que las puerta’ a nosotro’ ya se nos cierran (se nos cierran)
La’ abrimos rápido con otra pierna’
A oscura’ sin la linterna
Sin llevar una vida tierna
Tú solo vives lo moderno
Tu vida es como de un cuaderno
Nosotro’, los garabato’ (mis garabato’)
Pasar el rato, hacer los trato’
Yo no suelo decir “Niñato”
Porque niñato crece en un rato
Y tú siempre supersticiando
Hablando raro de los novato’
Uno siempre ha sido bueno
Y pa’ lo’ ajeno’ reparto plato’
A veces en lo malo
A veces en lo malo
A veces en lo malo (dice)
No soy falso y eso molesta
Yo sí destaco y tú lo detesta’ (ah ah)
El que la sigue, siempre la consigue
Envidioso que mucho cuesta
Tú estás abajo en esta apuesta (ah ah)
El que la sigue, siempre la consigue
A veces lo malo sigue (sigue)
Pero nadie lo persigue (lo persigue)
El que la sigue siempre la consigue
Nunca me verás yo siendo amigo del que es enemigo
(De mi amigo, de mi amigo)
La K y la B dentro de un terrado
Por dentro estoy aterrado
Pero no puedo ni miro al lado
Este dinero yo lo he sudado
Tomando riesgos en la misión
Castigado por tene’ ambición
El humo me nubla la visión
Con una vida como ‘e ficción
Soñaba con yo ser bueno y me tocaba a mí despertar
En un infierno escondemo’ ni hoy ninguno me pue’ tocar
Soñaba con un futuro y nunca lo he podido yo ni lograr
Perdona solo a mi madre que conmigo tuvo pasar
No soy tú (tú)
A mí me gusta el respeto
Y no la pinto siempre discreto
Criado yo por los traqueto’
Mídete tu actitud
Y no actúes como necio
A tu cabeza la pongo precio y tu vida yo te la desprecio
A veces lo malo sigue (sigue)
Pero nadie lo persigue (lo persigue)
El que la sigue siempre la consigue
Nunca me verás yo siendo amigo del que es enemigo
(De mi amigo, de mi amigo)
No soy falso y eso molesta
Yo sí destaco y tú lo detesta’ (ah ah)
El que la sigue, siempre la consigue
Envidioso que mucho cuesta
Tú estás abajo en esta apuesta (ah ah)
El que la sigue, siempre la consigue
No soy falso y eso molesta
Yo sí destaco y tú lo detesta’ (ah ah)
El que la sigue, siempre la consigue
Envidioso que mucho cuesta
Tú estás abajo en esta apuesta (ah ah)
El que la sigue, siempre la consigue
Free Sufian, oye, free Mustafa, yeah
Free Sufian, oye, free Mustafa, yeah
Free Lfar, oye, free Lfar
Oye, free Lfar
Uoh-oh-oh-oh
In an ever-evolving musical landscape, the nuanced work of Beny Jr stands out with a piercing resonance. His latest offering, ‘Sigue’, isn’t merely a collection of catchy hooks and head-bopping beats; it’s a layered narrative that delves deep into themes of resilience, authenticity, and societal strife.
The track is much more than an anthem; it’s a gritty, first-person account of the struggles and triumphs faced by someone navigating a complex world. In it, Beny Jr asserts his identity and story, giving listeners a glimpse into personal battles against the backdrop of challenging internal and external expectations.
Persistence Against All Odds
The title itself, ‘Sigue’, which translates to ‘Continue’ or ‘Follow’, encapsulates the central theme of the song. Beny Jr speaks to the tenacious spirit required to persevere despite darkness and difficulty. There’s a sense of relentless drive, an urge to keep pushing doors open, even when they seem firmly shut against you.
As the lyrics unfold, ‘Haciendo cosas que solamente yo te diría ‘No se te ocurra’ (Doing things that I would only tell you ‘Don’t you dare’), it becomes evident that the will to succeed often leads to paths fraught with advice against taking the very risks that might lead to triumph.
A Life Unscripted: Metaphors of Modern Existence
‘Tu vida es como de un cuaderno’ (Your life is like that of a notebook), Beny Jr raps, suggesting a life that is neatly lined, ready for clean entries. In contrast, he describes his own path as ‘los garabato” (the scribbles), portraying a more chaotic existence defined by ‘Pasar el rato, hacer los trato” (Hanging out, making deals).
This evocative visual imagery not only captures the essence of two divergent lifestyles but also underscores the arbitrary value we assign to living life by a set book. Beny Jr’s lines strike a chord with anyone who has felt constrained by societal definitions of success.
The Struggle for Respect in a Merciless Arena
‘No soy falso y eso molesta’ (I am not fake and that annoys), declares Beny Jr, exposing the tension between authenticity and the resentment it breeds in a society that often rewards facades. Being genuine can be a source of envy and conflict, yet the artist remains unwavering in his commitment to remain true.
The line ‘El que la sigue, siempre la consigue’ (The one who persists, always achieves), repeated throughout the song, becomes a mantra of resilience. It’s a stark reminder that despite antagonism and deception, persistence is the unmistakable road to success.
Peering into the Abyss: The Song’s Hidden Meaning
On the surface, ‘Sigue’ is a powerful expression of resistance and determination. Dig deeper, however, and you encounter the shadowy realm of one’s internal demons and the societal underbelly. ‘La K y la B dentro de un terrado / Por dentro estoy aterrado’ (The K and the B inside a terrace / Inside I am terrified), speaks to the inner turmoil and fear juxtaposed with a façade of control and power.
The song hints at a complex inner struggle, highlighting the human tendency to hide true emotions behind a veneer of bravado. It’s a compelling commentary on the psychological battle fought by individuals grappling with their ambitions and the stark realities of their circumstances.
Memorable Lines That Echo in the Silence
Among the impactful lyrics, ‘Soñaba con un futuro y nunca lo he podido yo ni lograr’ (I dreamed of a future and I have never been able to achieve it) lingers hauntingly long after the music fades. This line reveals a poignant tinge of disappointment and the pain of unrealized dreams.
But Beny Jr doesn’t linger in despondency; his message is ultimately one of defiance. By integrating calls for the freedom of his associates, ‘Free Sufian, oye, free Mustafa, yeah’, he not only reasserts his own determination but becomes a mouthpiece for the collective aspirations of his community, shining a light on the bonds of loyalty that prevail amidst adversity.
