Ante

In 'Ante,' NTG delves into the turbulent dynamics of a past relationship, juxtaposed with his current lifestyle and ambitions. The recurring line, 'Antes tú era mía, ahora tiene actitud,' highlights a shift in the relationship, where the woman he once considered his now exhibits a different attitude. This change is a source of frustration and confusion for NTG, who tries to dismiss feelings of jealousy and betrayal, as indicated by the line, 'Olvídate de celos you know that shit ain't true.' The repetition of these lines underscores the emotional turmoil and the difficulty of moving on from a past love.

The song also explores themes of materialism and the pursuit of success. NTG mentions his interactions with other women, noting that they are similar to his ex, and his indulgence in luxury items like Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton. These references to high-end brands and the lavish lifestyle he leads serve as a metaphor for his success and the distractions it brings. The line, 'De aquí yo noma voy pa' arríba I'ma never lose,' reflects his determination to keep rising and never lose, despite the personal conflicts he faces. This ambition is further emphasized by his focus on making money and achieving financial stability, as seen in the lines about seeking wealth and not having time to be 'frisao'.

NTG's lyrics also touch on the complexities of trust and loyalty. He addresses accusations of infidelity and tries to justify his actions by pointing out the similarities between his ex and her friends. The line, 'Only reason I fucked your friends is 'cause they're just like you,' reveals a sense of betrayal and a cycle of hurt that perpetuates his actions. Despite the bravado and material success, there's an underlying sense of regret and a longing for the simplicity of past relationships, as he reminisces about the times before his concerts and financial success.

'Ante' is a raw and candid exploration of the interplay between love, success, and personal growth. NTG's lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional and psychological challenges that come with navigating these aspects of life, making the song relatable to anyone who has experienced similar struggles.
