Es Mi Gusto
Akwid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uta madre, mejor que se vayan a ver ganzitos no
Por la manera que me visto
El modo que camino,
El gusto que yo tengo de cerveza Y no de vino
Me pasan criticando, a quien vi Y con quien ando
Que anoche me llamaron la jura me anda buscando
Que por eso mismo
No encuentro jale
A que cabrones, no dejan vivir agusto
El dia que me muera les voy a sacar un susto
Pero en otro rollo, si quisiera preguntar
Quien chingados dio permiso de mi vida criticar
Soy el unico, original en este mundo
Un poco osicon Y el pensamiento profudo
En este caso les tendre que placticar
Porque la vida de un cabron no se vive a lo normal
So ya la saben, no es cuestion pa que se claven
Despacios todos juntos como si fuera un
Mi gusto es, quien me lo va quitar
Hast que yo me muera nadie lo puede parar
Solamente Dios del cielo me lo quita
Disfruta de lo bueno de la vida por ahorita
Disfruta de lo bueno de la vida por ahorita
Por hay me dicen que les caigo mal a unos
Es lo de menos, no tienen nada mas que celos
Son cosas que no me importan mi atencion soy yo
Y dale gracias a mi jefe por los huevos que me dio
Me critican por todo solo digo la verdad,
Si te ofendes aqui va tu amistad por la ventana
Dicen que por la joyas que yo traigo
Devo de andar vendiendo algo, no hay pedo
Sigo adelante como me gusta
Hasta tu vieja a mi me busca
Pregunta ques lo que tengo yo que tu no tienes
Es carros, feria Y dos tres mas mujeres
No es pa que te aguites, es para ensenarte
Que hay cosas mas importantes no crees
No gastes mas energia en odiarme
Este es mi vida Y mi gusto mejor trata de olvidarme
Como la ves pinche raza nomas anda
Buscando aver que le allan a uno, pa criticarlo
Mi gusto es, quien me lo va quitar
Hast que yo me muera nadie lo puede parar
Solamente Dios del cielo me lo quita
Disfruta de lo bueno de la vida por ahorita
Disfruta de lo bueno de la vida por ahorita
Anda animate, ven Y ponte en mi lugar,
Mi mundo va rodeando Y nada lo puede parar
A lo macho, yo nunca me porto gacho
Los fines de semana me la paso bien borracho
Creas que aguantes, mejor piensalo muy bien
Son mis gustos escandalosos como el tren
Sin recores, voy rompiendo corazones
Arriba todos ellos que comprenden mis razones
Las cosas que yo traigo no vienen simpre
Nomas estas pinches squinkles que me siguen
Todo lo demas es duro jale neta
Agarrate los huevos Y apprieta
Si te dicen de otro modo, mandalos a ver galavision
Gente asi acava en el panteon
Has lo que tu quieras pero goza de tu vida
Y pon tu raza bien arriba
Mi gusto es, quien me lo va quitar
Hast que yo me muera nadie lo puede parar
Solamente Dios del cielo me lo quita
Disfruta de lo bueno de la vida por ahorita
Disfruta de lo bueno de la vida por ahorita
Mi gusto es
The song "Es Mi Gusto" by Akwid is about being criticized by others for the way that they dress, walk, and their taste in things such as beer versus wine. The lyrics talk about how people judge and criticize the singer for everything they do, including who they associate with and where they go. Despite this constant criticism, the singer remains true to themselves and their own preferences, stating that they are the only original person in the world and that their way of life is not typical. The chorus expresses the sentiment that no one can take away their taste and enjoyment of life.
The lyrics also touch on jealousy and the idea that some people may be critiquing the singer out of envy. The song encourages listeners to enjoy their lives and ignore the criticisms of others. It promotes the idea that we should all embrace our individuality and not be afraid to express ourselves, regardless of how others may perceive us.
The music video for the song features the duo performing in what seems to be a house party, surrounded by people of different cultural backgrounds.

En veces la raza se pasa criticando a uno que como me visto Y aca
Sometimes people criticize me for the way I dress and walk, my preference of beer over wine, and who I'm with. They say that the police are looking for me and that I'm always on the streets, which makes it hard to find a job. Those jerks won't let me live my life peacefully. But the day I die, I'll scare them off. If I may ask, who gave them the right to criticize my life? I'm one of a kind in this world, a bit naive, but my thoughts are profound. I have to tell them that a person like me can't live a normal life.

Si tu kieres hacer cosas malas
Conmigo en mi cama solo llamame
Para que te de lo que kieres
Pero si tu kiers que te ruegue
No va suceder
Por que yo no le ruego a nadie
