“Papa” unfolds like an intense late-night prayer where 6ix9ine and Lenier trade raw questions with God, asking why the world feels full of lies, poverty, war, crooked judges, and fake friends; their verses paint the picture of people spinning “the world you made” the wrong way. In the middle of this spiritual debate, God answers back, saying the planet was created perfect and loving, but humans chose greed, violence, and betrayal, turning paradise into “basura.” The rappers admit their own faults yet beg for protection from enemies who want them “en La Blandino” (the cemetery). Despite the darkness, the chorus repeats “Sigo riendo para no llorar” (“I keep laughing so I don’t cry”), offering a simple survival code: do good without looking at who because everything eventually ends. Mixing English-speaking New York grit with Puerto Rican soul, the track blends prayer, confession, and street testimony into one urgent message: faith and personal responsibility must punch through doubt if we hope to fix the chaos we helped create.
