Yaf k-sique (Yee)
La y griega
Directamente desde el sur
De México
Hasta Panamá
Estoy harto de estos tipos
Vieja escuela
Critican a la nueva
Se crearon en la mente una novela
Donde su rap culero dejó secuelas
Los quieren respeto dan respeto
Y si no lo dio
Disfrute de mi dedo medio
No importa cuantos putos años
Lleves en el medio
Si nadie reconoce
Ni tu voz, ni tu sello
En esta escena su carrera
Es un mal chiste
Rie por fuera, llora por dentro, Payaso triste
¿Quieres respeto por lo que fuiste?
Acéptalo nada conseguiste
Sigues viviendo del ayer
Claro, es que la gente ve
Lo que le permites ver
Es por eso que demuestro
En mi r.a.p.
Qué la próxima vez
No habrá próxima vez
Es hoy o nunca perro
Es hoy o nunca y si no
Nunca lo fue
Esto no solo es cuestión de fe
Trabajo duro y sacrificio
Cuando no te ven
Desde amanece hasta el anochecer
Enfocado en lo que se debe hacer
Mientras ellos fuman y huelen
Sigo superando niveles
Haciendo lo que ellos no pueden
Eso es lo que más les duele
Los verdaderos vieja escuela
No lo andan proclamando
Se reconocen donde sea
Ahora soy yo
Quien tiene el mando
Aunque usted no lo crea
De este lado seguimos trabajando
Creando una nueva escena
No como usted
Que se la pasa criticando
Tan solo dando, dando pena
Quiero dejar claro que reconozco
El trabajo de los mc's del pasado
No los crítico si no al contrario los Admiró por ser pioneros
De este lado
Su legado sigue firme
Y ha evolucionado
Hay nuevos ritmos a los cuales
No se adaptaron
Pero tranquilos que de eso
Nos hacemos cargo
Y a estos traperitos
Que recién salieron
Que piensan que cambiaron
Las reglas del juego
Les aviso que no han descubierto Nada nuevo
El autotune está desde el 95 niño
Y a estos traperitos
Que recién salieron
Que piensan que cambiaron
Las reglas del juego
Les aviso que no han descubierto Nada nuevo
El autotune está desde el 95 niño
Y nunca
Enserio nunca
Había sonado tan culero
Eyou
Honor a quien honor, merece
Y respeto para quien respete
Así sea vieja escuela
Ó tenga un par de meses
Dímelo Yimbo
El cocodrilo del sur
Yaf k-sique
The lyrics of DJ N.K.'s song "Hoy" address the frustration and criticism faced by the new generation of artists in the rap scene. The song starts by mentioning the "crocodile of the south," referring to DJ N.K. himself, who represents the southern region of Mexico. He expresses his annoyance with the old school types who criticize the new wave of artists, creating a false narrative in their minds where their outdated rap style left a lasting impact. DJ N.K. emphasizes that respect is earned and if it's not given, he doesn't hesitate to show his disregard.
The lyrics also touch upon the struggle of unrecognized talent and the constant battle to prove oneself in the industry. DJ N.K. asserts that it doesn't matter how many years someone has been in the industry if their voice and style aren't recognized. He portrays the older generation as clowns, pretending to be happy on the surface but crying inside due to their failure. DJ N.K. states that he demands respect for his present achievements and rejects the notion of living in the past. He believes that success is achieved through hard work, sacrifice, and staying focused on one's goals while others indulge in distractions.
Overall, the lyrics reflect DJ N.K.'s determination to create a new scene in the rap industry and establish himself as a leader. He acknowledges the work of the MCs of the past, appreciating their contributions and considering them as pioneers. However, he also criticizes those who cling to outdated styles and disapproves of new artists who believe they have revolutionized the game when they haven't discovered anything new.
