This theme of authenticity is reinforced by references to the artist's journey and the respect they command in the streets.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring motif of attraction between “nena' fina'” (refined girls) and “nenes maleante'” (bad boys), which underscores the allure of the rebellious, street-smart persona. The lyrics also touch on themes of loyalty, protection, and the desire for upward mobility, as seen in lines about dressing in designer clothes and driving luxury cars. The collaboration of multiple artists adds layers of perspective, each bringing their unique style and experiences to the track, creating a rich tapestry of urban life.
