Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Naci con mucho esfuerzo
De parte de mi mama
Dicen que estuvo unos meses
Internada en un hospital

Sufriendo en una cama
Con riesgo de abortar
Y con su vida en peligro
Quiso que naciera igual

Y me crié como un chico normal
De barrio un bajo
Me hacia falta la comida
Y a mis padres el trabajo

Ser chiquito y estar solo
Se lo que es eso
Iba a la escuela
Sin abrigo
Congelándome los huesos

Y asi me fui criando
De a poquito me hizo solo
Aprendi lo qe es la calle
Y a cuidarme de todo

Entendi que nadie es bueno
Y aunque mucho quieran darte
El que hoy te da la mano
Mañana puede matarte

Hay que cuidarse
Y a veces hasta frenar un poco
Porque aunque seas malo
Siempre va a ver uno mas loco

En mi mundo muchas cosas
Que pasan no se entiende
Y apuro el contronazo
Con la vida qe se aprende

Este es el mundo del reves
Donde yo vivo
Donde tu amigo
Mañana puede ser tu enemigo
Donde a los chicos les falta
Que comer, y abrigo
Donde los buenos se mueren
Y los malos siguen vivos

Asi es el mundo del reves
Donde yo vivo
Donde tu amigo
Mañana puede ser tu enemigo
Donde a los chicos les falta
Que comer, y abrigo
Donde los buenos se mueren
Y los malos siguen vivos

Y muy chico conoci
Lo que es el dolor
De tener que llorar
Un amigo en un cajon
En otro lado
Con 14 son niños y se esconden
En cambio en mi mundo
En la calle te haces hombre
Tense tu fierro
Y pa' fumar tu marihuana
Tenes tus minas
Y de pasar un tiempo en cana

Por ahi tenes un hijo
Al que darle de comer
Y estas la policia
Que no te deja de joder
Tambien
Seguro debes tener
Un par de enemigos
Pa' llorar y recordar
Un par de amigos
Que se fueron
A un mundo mejor
Y te consuela saber
Que ya no sufren el dolor
De vivir entre la espada
Y la pared
De tener que activar
Pa' poderse mantener
Que la ruleta de la vida
No les juega al reves
Y que salgan a ganar
Y les toque perder

Este es el mundo del reves
Donde yo vivo
Donde tu amigo
Mañana puede ser tu enemigo
Donde a los chicos les falta
Que comer, y abrigo
Donde los buenos se mueren
Y los malos siguen vivos

Asi es el mundo del reves
Donde yo vivo
Donde tu amigo
Mañana puede ser tu enemigo
Donde a los chicos les falta
Que comer, y abrigo
Donde los buenos se mueren
Y los malos siguen vivos

Sobreveviendo en el mundo del reves
Fui aprendiendo que la vida
Se va yendo
A medida q vas creciendo
Y aprendi a valorar
Los momentos como oro
Los recuerdos
Que quedan
Son tus unicos tesoros
De las mujeres voy a decir
Algo que obvio
Se encuentran otro novio
Cuando estan
En tu velorio
Todas te quieren
Todas te admiran
Pero cuando te moris
Enseguida se olvidan

Sobreviviendo en este
Mundo nos criamos
Y nos marginan todos
A nadie le importamos
Solo nos nombran
Cuando mal actuamos
Cuando nos drogamos
Robamos
O matamos

Yo pienso
Deberian dar otra opciones
Ya estan llenos los penales
De malandras
Y ladrones

En mi barrio
Se tendrian que formar profesionales
En lugar de que los chicos
Sean los criminales

Este es el mundo del reves
Donde yo vivo
Donde tu amigo
Mañana puede ser tu enemigo
Donde a los chicos les falta
Que comer, y abrigo
Donde los buenos se mueren
Y los malos siguen vivos

Asi es el mundo del reves
Donde yo vivo
Donde tu amigo
Mañana puede ser tu enemigo
Donde a los chicos les falta
Que comer, y abrigo
Donde los buenos se mueren
Y los malos siguen vivos

Este es el mundo del reves donde yo vivo
Donde la policia en lugar de cuidarnos
Nos inventan causas
Donde los chicos no tienen infancia
Y trabajan en la calle o roban
Para comer y sobrevivir
Donde los politicos nos quitan
En lugar de ayudarnos
Donde a nadie le importamos
Donde nos olvidaron
Donde para jueces y fiscales
Somos culpables hasta demostrar
Lo contrario
Pero despues cuando nos hacemos
Como somos se horrorizan
Y nos matan en la calle como a ratas
O nos encierran de por vida




Y despues me hablan de igualdad del derecho
Por favor eh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of El Mundo by Various Artists touch upon the struggles and hardships of growing up in a world where survival is difficult. The singer talks about their own upbringing as a child in a low-income neighborhood where food and clothing were scarce, and they had to fend for themselves. They mention how no one is inherently good, and even those who offer help can turn on you in an instant. The lyrics touch upon the cycle of poverty and crime that traps people in certain areas and how people are often treated unfairly by the authorities.


The singer also mentions the loss of friends and loved ones due to violence and crime. They discuss the allure of drugs and crime for young people who often see few other options. They call for a change in the system, where more opportunities are provided to young people of lower-income backgrounds instead of seeing them as potential criminals.


Overall, the song paints a picture of a world that is unforgiving and harsh, where people must fight to survive, and the odds are often stacked against them.

There comes a time
When we hear the certain call
[Nicole Scherzinger & Jennifer Hudson & Justin Bieber:]
When the world must come together as one
[Jennifer Hudson:]
There are people dying
[Jennifer Nettles:]
And it's time to lend a hand to life
[Jennifer Nettles & Josh Groban:]
The greatest gift of all

[Josh Groban:]
We can't go on
Pretending day by day

We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

[Miley Cyrus:]
Well, send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
[Enrique Iglesias:]
So their cries for help
Will not be in vain

[LL Cool J, Will.I.Am, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz:]
We all need somebody that we can lean on
When you wake up look around and see that your dream's gone
When the earth quakes we'll help you make it through the storm
When the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
We are the world united by love so strong
When the radio isn't on you can hear the songs
A guided light on the dark road you're walking on
A sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
Someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
Someone to help you rebuild after the rubble's gone
We are the world connected by a common bond
Love the whole planet's singing along

[All:]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making

And now Haiti needs us, they need us, they need us

We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Nou sé mond la
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we make a better day
Just you and me

[Wyclef Jean:]
