Pedacito de Tierra (feat. Lefty Sm)

Nanpa Básico's song 'Pedacito de Tierra,' featuring Lefty Sm, is a poignant narrative that delves into the artist's roots and the hardships faced while growing up. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young man who leaves his home with dreams of becoming successful, promising his parents that he will return as a millionaire. This departure is marked by a mix of hope and sorrow, symbolized by the 'maleta' (suitcase) and 'rosario' (rosary) he carries, and the tears he sheds with a lump in his throat.

The song repeatedly emphasizes the beauty and difficulty of the 'pedacito de tierra' (little piece of land) from which the artist hails. This place is characterized by its harsh conditions and the constant struggle to make ends meet. The lyrics highlight the resilience and courage of the people who live there, who have grown up amidst conflict ('crecimos en la guerra') and have done everything possible to ensure they have food on the table ('hemos hecho de todo pa’ que no nos falte el pan'). This portrayal is a testament to the strength and determination of those who come from challenging backgrounds.

Nanpa Básico also reflects on his personal journey, driven by the dreams of becoming a singer and the necessity to escape the dangers of his environment. The song touches on themes of sacrifice, as he leaves his family behind to pursue his ambitions, and the internal conflict he feels about abandoning them. Despite the threats and hardships, he remains motivated by his love for his family and his desire to provide for them. The song concludes with a sense of triumph, as the artist looks back on his struggles and acknowledges that his efforts were not in vain, having achieved his dreams and honored his roots.
