Bad Bunny and Anuel AA turn the spotlight on themselves, celebrating the larger-than-life reality that comes with being two of Puerto Rico’s biggest trap stars. Throughout the track they revisit the rough chapters of their past (prison cells, poverty, doubters) only to contrast them with present-day jet rides, sold-out arenas, and diamond-heavy chains. The hook, “Está cabrón ser yo” (literally “It’s tough to be me”), is equal parts complaint and flex: life at the top is overwhelming, but it is also proof of how far they have climbed.
The lyrics overflow with swagger, name-drops, and sports metaphors as the artists claim their place among the best. Yet beneath the bravado lies a subtle message about resilience, self-belief, and the envy success attracts. The song invites listeners to witness a victory lap where survival, faith, and relentless hustle turn two underdogs into kings of a new era. In short, it is an anthem that shouts: you might want to live this life, but only we can wear the crown.
