¿Cómo Me Llamo Yo?
Tego Calderon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y dice, ¿Como me llamo yo?
(Tego, Tego, Tego, Tego)
Y dice, ¿Como me llamo yo?
(Tego, Tego, Tego, Tego)

Oye ustedes saben ya
Escuchan la voz
Que no cunda el pánico
Es el Underdog
Otra clave
Otro flow en pimienta
Que mata envidiosos
Y en tanta venta
Me senté en la banca
Pa que se lucrara
To sigue igual
Sin mi no son nada
Sueno fantoche
Más altaneros
Esto seguiría local
Si no fuera por Tego
Alábate pollo
Mañana te guisan
Pero compre tu cd
Pa morirme he risas
Ustedes son mis hijos
No reconoció
Ya siempre baja tu estilo
Saldrá que es mió

Y dice, ¿Como me llamo yo?
(Tego, Tego, Tego, Tego)
Y dice, ¿Como me llamo yo?
(Tego, Tego, Tego, Tego)

Oye yo me llamo
Como tu quiera llamarme
El nombre es lo de menos
To' tienen que respetarme
El negro Jiggiri
El loco
El abayarde
El ma querido
Por lo mas grande
Tú eres una moda
A mi me catalogan
Madera cotiza
Como caoba
En peligro de extinción
Como la salsa y el carey
Como mi coqui
Mi dj
Tu estilo es cajita
Igual que el Cornflake
El mío he corrupto
Igual que la ley
Le tiro y lo encojo
Sin delay
Llama a to tu merced
Si tienen complain
Alabao
Sigo adelantao
El nuevo teguito
Dándole pao pao
Motivao
No me quedo dao'
No taba quitao'
Taba en el
Dando break
Pa' que no dijera
Sin hacer fuerza
Lejos se queda
Ellos mi caída esperan
Pero benditos panas
Ni a los tobillo me llegan

Y dice, ¿Como me llamo yo?

Overall Meaning

The song "¿Como Me Llamo Yo?" by Tego Calderón is a confident and assertive statement of identity and recognition of his own worth as an artist. The repeated question "¿Como me llamo yo?" ("What is my name?") seems to be a rhetorical device aimed at asserting his presence and relevance, as well as highlighting the tendency of people and the industry to try to label and categorize him. In the first verse, Tego emphasizes his role as an underdog, someone who is underestimated and undervalued but ultimately prevails through hard work and talent. He brags about his skills and popularity, but also expresses a sense of responsibility towards his fans and the genre of reggaeton, which he helped to popularize and legitimize.


In the second verse, Tego mentions several of his nicknames or stage names, which seem to be interchangeable and subject to the audience's preference. He dismisses the notion that names or labels define him, and instead demands respect for his artistry and authenticity. He also criticizes other artists who follow trends or conform to mainstream expectations, contrasting them with his own style, which he describes as unique and original. Overall, the song is a declaration of independence and defiance, a celebration of individuality and creativity.
