Nepo Baby

De Nalgas' song 'Nepo Baby' is a raw and unfiltered critique of social inequality and the privileges that come with being born into wealth. The term 'Nepo Baby' refers to someone who benefits from nepotism, often having opportunities handed to them due to their family's status rather than their own merit. The lyrics paint a stark contrast between the lives of those born into privilege and those who struggle to make ends meet.

The song opens with the line 'La violencia mi única herencia' (Violence is my only inheritance), setting a tone of frustration and despair. The narrator laments their lack of opportunities and the harsh realities they face, juxtaposed against the effortless success of the 'Nepo Baby.' The repeated phrase 'Tú tienes todo y nada te cuesta' (You have everything and it costs you nothing) underscores the resentment felt by those who see the unfair advantages enjoyed by the privileged.

The chorus, with its mocking 'Lalalala' and the word 'papá,' highlights the ease with which the 'Nepo Baby' navigates life, thanks to their family's influence. The song also touches on the systemic issues that perpetuate this inequality, questioning where the wealth is that should allow everyone to live better lives. The line 'No soy pobre porque quiero' (I'm not poor because I want to be) is a powerful statement against the misconception that poverty is a choice, emphasizing the structural barriers that keep people in poverty.

'Nepo Baby' by De Nalgas is a poignant and powerful commentary on social inequality, privilege, and the frustration of those left behind. It calls out the unfairness of a system that rewards birthright over hard work and talent, resonating with anyone who has felt the sting of inequality.
