De Pequeño (feat. Yiordano Ignacio)

Arte Elegante's song 'De Pequeño,' featuring Yiordano Ignacio, is a powerful narrative of resilience, rebellion, and personal growth. The lyrics delve into the artist's childhood and the challenges faced while growing up in a tough environment. The recurring theme of 'dándole el corte rebelde' (giving it a rebellious cut) signifies the defiance and non-conformity that characterized his youth. Despite the adversities and the constant evasion of authorities ('esquivando a los de verde'), the artist emphasizes that faith ('la fe no se pierde') remains unshaken.

The song also highlights the importance of perseverance and optimism. Arte Elegante speaks about using his talent in writing ('engancho la lapicera') as a mechanism to escape the abyss and overcome long periods of waiting and self-doubt. The lyrics suggest that faith and sharing ('con la fe se prospera, deja el egocentrismo') are crucial for personal growth and combating selfishness. The artist calls for a focus on meaningful messages over superficial distractions ('el mensaje va primero y después le pongo el ritmo').

Yiordano Ignacio's verse adds another layer to the narrative, discussing the harsh realities of street life and the importance of loyalty and family. He mentions his time in prison and how it doesn't define his worth ('estuve preso, pero eso a mí no me hace más grande'). The song underscores a strong anti-authoritarian sentiment ('somos antipacos, somos antipolicía') and a disdain for hypocrisy. The artists express their determination to rise above their circumstances, planting their flag for their families and communities. The song is a testament to their unyielding spirit and the belief that adversity only makes them stronger ('mientras disfrutan ustedes verme mal, yo me hago más fuerte').
