La Propina

In 'La Propina,' Los Dos Carnales deliver a powerful message about resilience and self-confidence in the face of criticism and adversity. The song's lyrics reflect a defiant attitude towards those who judge and criticize without truly knowing the person they are targeting. The opening lines, 'Se la pasan suponiendo / Me apuntaron con el dedo,' highlight the tendency of people to make assumptions and point fingers without understanding the full story. This sets the stage for a narrative of overcoming negativity and rising above detractors.

The chorus, 'Y no me mortifico y no hago caso de pendejos / Piensan que por tirarme ni atención les presto,' emphasizes the artist's refusal to be affected by the negativity thrown their way. Instead of being bogged down by criticism, they choose to ignore it and focus on their own growth and success. The metaphor 'Échenme tierra pa'que vean cómo florezco' beautifully illustrates the idea that adversity can be a source of strength and growth, much like how a plant flourishes when buried in soil.

Los Dos Carnales also touch on themes of ambition and perseverance. Lines like 'Lo que quieran a que vamos para la cima / Si piensan que los deje atrás, ni se imaginan' convey a sense of determination to reach the top, regardless of the obstacles. The phrase 'Me llevo todo pero les dejo propina' suggests that while they are focused on achieving their goals, they are not entirely dismissive of others, leaving a 'tip' as a token gesture. This blend of confidence, resilience, and ambition makes 'La Propina' a compelling anthem for anyone facing criticism or challenges in their journey to success.
