Hijo de Papi

In 'Hijo de Papi,' Faruz Feet delivers a raw and unfiltered narrative about his rise from humble beginnings to success. The song's title, which translates to 'Son of Daddy,' is a sarcastic nod to the misconception that his achievements came easily or were handed to him. Faruz Feet makes it clear that his journey was anything but easy, emphasizing the hard work, discipline, and sacrifices he had to make to get where he is today. The repeated line, 'Tu que piensas que todo me salió gratis,' which means 'You who think everything came to me for free,' serves as a direct rebuttal to those who underestimate the effort behind his success.

The lyrics are filled with vivid metaphors and cultural references that paint a picture of Faruz Feet's struggles and determination. He mentions having faith in his 'lápiz' (pencil), symbolizing his belief in his talent and craft. The reference to Lex Luthor, a well-known comic book villain, suggests that while some may see him as a hero, others view him as a threat. This duality reflects the complex nature of his journey, where he had to outsmart and outwork others to achieve his goals. The line 'Proyectan pura fantasía, deberían ser Tim Burton' criticizes those who live in a fantasy world, contrasting his own grounded and realistic approach to life and success.

Faruz Feet also touches on the importance of staying grounded despite his rising fame. He acknowledges that while he wasn't the best student ('aunque en la escuela no era puro diez'), he was determined to make money and succeed in his own way. The song highlights the value of perseverance and the willingness to make sacrifices, as seen in lines like 'Noventa y nueve de esfuerzo, lo demás es tu don,' meaning 'Ninety-nine percent effort, the rest is your gift.' This underscores the idea that talent alone isn't enough; hard work and dedication are crucial components of success.

The song also delves into Faruz Feet's past, mentioning his time spent 'rapeando y vendiendo dulces en transportes colectivos' (rapping and selling sweets on public transport). This glimpse into his early struggles adds depth to his story, showing that his success is a result of years of hard work and resilience. The recurring theme of not losing his footing ('no voy a perder los pies') despite his success serves as a reminder to stay humble and focused, no matter how high he climbs.
