El acabose
Zénit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para que a la muchedumbre el rey de todos los
Hombres alumbre.
Sera imposible que a la gente se acostumbre
A ver que el Hombre Don poco a poco se derrumbe
Que algun emcee le tumbe o le haga sombra
Que en lo mas alto del cielo me situo y hasta cuando
Alguien se caga en Dios me nombra.
Es a mi a quien culpa
Del fatal desenlace que hace a su calma y su saber
Estar se rompa
Y que mi violencia irrumpa
Que mi puesto no se compra
Y aquel que por costumbre se corrompa
Que se venda y que le den por culo.
Mi cerebro es un potente ejercito y mis rimas bombas
Que en el hip-hop encendieron la inquisidora lumbre
A la que acude en tromba
La muchedumbre
A la que el rey de todos los hombres
Desde su cumbre alumbra.
ZENIT asombra
ZENIT deslumbra.
Izada la bandera
Quien la quiera
Que suba a la atmosfera
Y que derrumbe el alto mastil de la parte mas
Guerrera
Que no hay mejor manera
De despertar mi fiera
De convertir mi espera
En la mundial guerra tercera
Lirica batalla carnicera
Tipica violencia bandolera
Epica masacre de otra era
Tetrica,malefica y certera
Todo vale cuando hay que vencer en la carrera
Y la lucha callejera
Convierte poco a poco mi promesa en verdadera
Permite que observemos la derrota desde fuera
Que mostremos la victoria a la cantera
Que enseñemos que tambien con el hip hop se puede
Engordar la cartera
Que escuchemos mi sonido en tu acera
En tu ciudad entera
En verano en otoño en invierno y en primavera
En todas las estaciones producias por el giro de mi
Esfera.
A diario problemas a diario dando coces
A diario con nnas a diario dando roces
A diario escribo temas a diario dando voces
Esperma y rimas quemas para nada entonces.
Si te enfrentas con este sistema mueres...
Pero a contracorriente rema si es lo que quieres
Contra el infinito emblema no valen tus poderes
Contra ZENIT es el lema...protege tus caracteres
Que te operes
Cirugia en tu cerebro necesitas y correr como las
Liebres...
Deja a los chavales libres
Y echate a la lumbres
Que eres malas fiebres
Con triunfos de los demas de gloria te cubres
Y dejas las sobras...
Cuidado con ataques de cobras
Que conmigo son costumbres
Enemigos derrotados con el microfono de Octubres a
Octubres.
The song "El acabose" by Zénit is a proclamation of his superiority and dominance in the world of hip-hop. The lyrics describe Zénit's name as his throne, located at the peak where the king of all men shines his light upon the masses. He speaks of the impossibility of people getting used to seeing the downfall of the powerful figure that he is, and warns of emcees attempting to dethrone him. He positions himself at the highest point in the sky and exclaims that even when one defecates on God's name, he will still be mentioned. He claims responsibility, both for people naming him and for the fatal outcomes that destroy their calmness and knowledge. He uses violent and aggressive language, describing his brain as a powerful army, and his lyrics as bombs that ignited the fire of inquisition in hip-hop, which draws the masses to him. He surprises and dazzles with his talent and skill.
The second part of the song speaks of raising the flag and inviting others to join him on his quest. He speaks of no better way to awaken his beast than to go to war, convert his wait into a worldwide third war, and create lyrical battles, mayhem, and destruction in a typical “bandit” style. He celebrates his victory over the system and the way he can fatten his pockets with hip-hop. He invites people to listen to his sound and see his victories, to teach others that hip-hop can be a source of income. He talks about fighting problems, intercourse, and writing lyrics every day. He preaches to those who want to take him down, saying that they will die if they face his system, as they will be swimming against the current, and that with him, they must protect their character.
Overall, the song is a statement of Zénit’s self-importance and his belief in the power of hip-hop as a means of domination. It is full of vibrant imagery and aggressive language, meant to excite and inspire listeners.
