In "MALDITA POBREZA", Benito tells a story that focuses on the desire to have enough purchasing power to buy and give away luxury goods for his girlfriend, which is not necessary to win her over because she is not looking for him for the money, but which he would like to do anyway and it is not possible due to his financial situation.
Upon reaching the conclusion that he does not have enough money, Benito begins to reflect and criticizes the current educational system and the saturation of the labor field that affects recent graduates. These social problems, which in 2020 are present in many countries around the world, take them further, even relating them to the reasons that force some young people to decide to commit crimes out of desperation.

Pero no puedo, pero no puedo
Yo quiero comprarle un Ferrari a mi novia
Pero no puedo, no tengo dinero
Maldita pobreza, maldita pobreza
Me tiene joseando, loco de la cabeza
Maldita pobreza, maldita pobreza
Yo sé que tú me quiere', no importa lo material, eh
Pero yo te quiero costear
Comprarte todo Gucci y una casa frente al mar, eh-eh
Pa' que me enseñe' a nadar
Quiero dedicarte lo' atardeceres
Comprarte un Ferrari, o si no un Mercede'
Cuadro' de Picasso en toda' las parede'
Llevarte pa' Francia, pero no se puede (ey, ey, ey)
Si las Retro' no me sirven, les quito la suela (ey)
Pero quiero Louboutin pa' mi Cinderella (ah)
Ir pa' Hawái, despué' pa' Coachella (huh-uh)
Botella' de champán (ey), pero no tengo ni pa' una chela (nah)
Eh-eh, eh-eh (no, no)
Yo quiero comprarle un Ferrari a mi novia
Pero no puedo, no tengo dinero
Maldita pobreza, maldita pobreza
Me tiene joseando, loco de la cabeza
Maldita pobreza, maldita pobreza
Solo se me olvida cuando tú me besas (huh)
Siete año' estudiando hasta que me gradué (ey)
Pero no encuentro trabajo en eso que estudié (nah)
Hoy quería salir, pero ando a pie
Te vo'a contar lo que anoche soñé (huh-uh)
Que me compré un palo y a alguien asalté (eh)
Ey, ven acá, ah, argh
Yo quiero más ticket (ey), yo quiero más ticket
Me dijo que busque trabajo, pero no consigo por más que aplique (no)
La cosa está caliente (wuh), los burro' sin pique
Se mueven solito' y eso no para aunque yo me quite (nah, nah, nah)
Y ante' de despertar exploté el Capitolio (ey)
Y a to' eso' cabrone' con su monopolio (rra)
Me despedí de los AK y de lo' accesorio' (ey)
Ey, me mataron como a 2Pac y a Notorious (no)
Pero mi novia llegó en un Ferrari al velorio (ey, ey)
In Bad Bunny's song "Maldita Pobreza," the artist expresses his desire to provide for his partner with lavish gifts he cannot afford due to his financial situation. In the chorus, Bad Bunny exclaims "Maldita pobreza" which translates to "damn poverty." He acknowledges the stress and burden that comes with being disadvantaged and struggling to make ends meet. The artist refers to his expensive taste, such as wanting to buy Gucci items and a Ferrari for his partner, but he knows he cannot afford to do so. However, Bad Bunny recognizes that love is not materialistic and that his partner does not care about the material things he can't provide. The artist also describes his dreams, one being to own a Louboutin pair of shoes for his partner.
Moreover, the lyrics also touch on social issues such as the struggle to find employment in one's field of study, crime, and the wealth gap. Bad Bunny talks about graduating from college but not finding a job related to his degree. He dreams of more money, tickets to success, and being able to buy expensive items, but he realizes that his situation is tough, and those things are not possible without the resources. Bad Bunny ends the song reminding us of the cruelty of life and how he feels helpless due to unconnected systems.
