The lyrics of Trotsky Vengaran's song Tenes Q' Trabajar (You Have to Work) can be seen as a reflection on the struggles of growing up and transitioning into a responsible adult life. The artist sings about the need to make sacrifices and prioritize work over leisurely activities like going to the bar or to a sports game. He also touches upon the idea of personal discipline and growth, stating that he needs to mature and loosen up his old habits in order to succeed in life.
