El Empresario

El Komander's song 'El Empresario' is a vivid narrative of resilience, respect, and the pursuit of success against all odds. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who has faced numerous challenges, including imprisonment, but has emerged stronger and more determined. The opening lines, 'Desconfió hasta de mi sombra / Por que ya estoy correteado,' reflect a deep-seated mistrust born from past betrayals and hardships. This sentiment is further emphasized with the line, 'El culpable / No es culpable hasta sea comprobado,' suggesting a life lived under constant scrutiny and the need to prove one's innocence repeatedly.

The song delves into the protagonist's past, mentioning a period of imprisonment and the toll it took on him. However, rather than breaking his spirit, this experience only fueled his determination. 'A prisión detuvo el tiempo / Pero salí recargado' signifies a rebirth, a renewed vigor to face the world. The lyrics also highlight the importance of heritage and personal strength, with references to his roots in Jalisco and the courage that runs through his veins. This connection to his origins is a source of pride and a reminder of the values instilled in him by his family.

Success and the price it demands are recurring themes in 'El Empresario.' The protagonist acknowledges the hard work and sacrifices that have led to his achievements, as seen in the lines, 'He logrado muchas cosas / Que nunca había imaginado / La cima tiene su precio / Soy gente que me la rajado.' Despite the material success, symbolized by luxury cars and recognition, the song underscores the importance of family and loyalty. 'Mi familia es lo primero...mi familia es importante' serves as a poignant reminder that, above all, family remains the cornerstone of his life. The song concludes with a celebration of camaraderie and the joy of living, encapsulating the essence of Mexican culture and the bonds of friendship.
