Libertad
Jay Hernandez Lyrics

The lyrics to Jay Hernandez's song "Libertad" reflect the artist's desire for freedom and independence. He starts off by proclaiming that he knows nothing about love, but what he wants is the freedom that God gave him in life. He wants to be left alone to pursue his own goals and ambitions without any interference. He mentions that he got involved in certain situations to ensure that he never lacks anything, indicating that he may have taken some risks or made choices that others might not understand. He carries this mindset in his blood, as it shows in his experiences and how he has lived his life. He emphasizes that no one can tie him down, and he prefers to be on the streets with his friends. He cannot imagine being with anyone other than his own, indicating a sense of loyalty and solidarity.

In the second verse, he tells someone that he cannot love or care for them as they want him to because he is unable to give them what they desire. He asks them to tell him what will happen if he asks for freedom and continues to do his own things. He questions whether they will understand if he leaves them alone because he needs to work long hours and be involved in certain activities to support himself and his lifestyle. He mentions being in "yeca" (jail) and "farola" (streetlight), possibly alluding to a dangerous or risky environment. He explains that he doesn't have a badge or a gun, only his "brodas" (money and drugs). He asks the person if they understand his perspective and why they must distance themselves from each other because they come from different worlds. He draws a comparison between himself and the person as Romeo and Juliet, acknowledging their differences and the unlikelihood of a successful relationship. He admits that the other person has everything while he has nothing, and despite his attraction to them, he cannot be with them.
