Lo único que consigo hacer bien es el mal
Ilegales Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bobo soy
Bobo soy
Bobo soy
Bobo

No tengo educación, no tengo cerebro
Miro el futuro y lo veo muy negro
Surgen problemas, empuño mi arma
Ella es mi Ángel de la Guardia

¡Dame tu dinero o dame tu vida!
¡Aquí estoy, soy una pesadilla!

He intentado ser un ángel
Pero me ha tocado ser demonio
Lo único que consigo hacer bien es el mal

En mi barrio hay ley, la ley del más fuerte
Vivimos esperando la muerte
Los delincuentes no surgen de la nada
Venimos de callejones sin salida

Donde hay violencia, ahí está mi sitio
Desde que era un niño pienso lo mismo

He intentado ser un ángel
Pero me ha tocado ser demonio
Lo único que consigo hacer bien es el mal

Bobo
Bobo
Bobo
Bobo

He intentado ser un ángel
Pero me ha tocado ser demonio
Lo único que consigo hacer bien es el mal

En mi barrio hay ley; la ley del más fuerte
Vivimos esperando la muerte
Cuando aprieto el gatillo mi arma cobra vida
A veces querría ver las cosas distintas

¡Pero dame tu dinero o dame tu vida!
¿Quieres arder? Yo soy el diablo

He intentado ser un ángel




Pero me ha tocado ser demonio
Lo único que consigo hacer bien es el mal

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ilegales's song "Lo único que consigo hacer bien es el mal" speak to the artist's struggle with their identity and the circumstances of their upbringing. The repeated phrase "Bobo soy" can be interpreted as a self-deprecating admission of feeling foolish or naive. The singer expresses a lack of education and intelligence, envisioning a bleak future. They resort to violence as a means of survival, referring to a weapon as their "Guardian Angel."


The lyrics reveal a sense of resignation and self-awareness. Despite trying to be a good person or an angel, the singer feels destined to be a demon. They acknowledge that the only thing they seem to excel at is causing harm or engaging in wrongdoing. The song captures the harsh reality of growing up in a tough neighborhood, where the law of the strongest prevails, and there is a constant anticipation of death.


The singer emphasizes that delinquency is not something that arises out of nothing. It is born out of challenging circumstances and a lack of opportunities or options. There is a sense of desolation and confinement, with the singer suggesting that they come from dead-end alleys. They find their place where there is violence, as this is what they have been conditioned to think since childhood.


Despite the desire to change and be a better person, the realities of their environment and their own predispositions make it difficult for the singer to escape their darker tendencies. The repetition of "Bobo" emphasizes their frustration and acceptance of their own limitations. The lyrics depict a constant internal struggle between wanting to be an angel or a demon, ultimately acknowledging that their inclination towards wrongdoing is stronger.
