Héctor "El Father" Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te llamo acho por que estoy bien aborreci'o
Ya no me quedan fuerzas
Siempre es la misma mierda
Todos dicen ser mis amigos y cuando obtienen lo que quieren
Ya tu sabes, echan el pique
Acho ma' tu nunca te equivocas
Amigo es un peso en el fucking bolsillo
Esta vida es una envidia, una hipocresía, una persecución
Algunos días me levanto hasta con ganas de morirme
Pero veo tu retrato y el de papi en la cartera
Te acuerdas? el que me regalaste cuando cumplí años
Y saco fuerza de donde no las tengo
Pues me acuerdo de todas esas noches que ustedes no descansaban
Pa' llevarme un plato de comida pa' casa
Y a papi, dile que lo amo
Y que recuerde que no se mueve una hoja en la faz de la tierra
Si no es la voluntad de Dios
Viejo yo voy a ti
Recuerda que el cáncer no es una enfermedad
Es un demonio y Dios no es una carga que uno no pueda cargar
Te amo y jamas podre pagarte todas las cosas que en esta vida tu me haz dado
Yo soy tu sangre mi viejo, recuerda eso, oíste
Ma' dile a mis hermanos que me perdonen
Por las veces que le he dado mas a mis amigos que a ellos mismos que son mi sangre
Que me perdonen pero, dile que uno nunca se da con la misma piedra dos veces
Y que a ellos le daría algo que no le daría a nadie
Que es mi vida
Ma' dile que me perdonen y dile que los amo
Oye déjame decirte que tu siempre tienes la razón
Ma' no te equivocaste
Todos los panas míos que te daban mala espina
Terminaron haciéndome la puerca'a
Ellos se creen que me utilizaron
Pero lo que no saben es que yo los utilicé a ellos
Pues me llenaron de sabiduría
Me enseñaron que la palabra de Dios siempre se cumplirá
Que maldito sea el hombre que confíe en otro hombre ma'
Y si tu lo vieras me llegaban vestidos de ovejas
Y terminaban siendo lobos en busca de su presa
Siempre con el mismo bla, bla y bla
(Héctor ayúdame! y nunca te voy a fallar)
Y cuando le daba la mano, me la picaban
Acho ma' ya no existe la lealtad
Pero lo mas que me duele
Es que yo conozco la verdad
Y conociéndola , sigo caminando en este mundo de falsedad
Buscando en la fama y en el dinero llenar un vacío
Que yo, mas que nadie se que solamente lo llena Cristo
Acho ma', yo toa's las noches le pido que me tenga misericordia
Que me cuide de mis enemigos y que perdone todos mis pecados
Porque yo soy humano ma' y el coraje se apodera de mi
A última hora mami, yo prefiero que me odien por quien yo soy
A que me aman por alguien que yo finjo a ser
Seguro ahora yo soy el malo
Pero bien lo dice Jesucristo en la palabra
Que no existe un hombre bueno sobre la faz de la tierra
Solamente nuestro padre allá en el cielo
Na' mai échame la bendición que voy pa' la calle
The song “Intro” by Hector “El Father” opens with a greeting to his mother, calling her “mami bendición.” He continues to express his frustrations with the people around him, saying that he has no more strength left to deal with their hypocritical behavior. He laments that people only pretend to be his friends until they get what they want from him, and then they abandon him. Hector expresses his desire to die some days but is motivated to keep going by the picture of his mother and father in his wallet. He remembers the sacrifices they made to provide for him and says that he draws strength from their love. He assures his father that he is with him as he battles cancer, and tells his brothers that he loves them and asks for their forgiveness for giving more to his friends than to them. Hector reflects on the lessons he has learned from the people around him and how they have shaped his worldview, but he believes that only Christ can fill the emptiness he feels.
The song has a somber tone and reflects Hector’s struggle with fame, money, and the constant pressure to maintain his image while staying true to his family and faith. The lyrics reveal a complex and layered understanding of human relationships, with Hector grappling with feelings of betrayal and disillusionment. He also recognizes the importance of forgiveness and redemption, asking for his family’s forgiveness and God’s mercy. The song’s honesty and vulnerability have resonated with many listeners, making it a classic in the Latin hip-hop genre.
