“El De Arriba” is a proud anthem of integrity and hard-earned success. Voz de Mando’s narrator reminds us that real greatness is built con sudor (with sweat): he walks “derechito,” guided by mom and dad’s lessons, never cutting corners, never selling his soul. While others brag, cheat, or step on people to climb higher, he chooses the tougher but cleaner road, trusting that El de Arriba—the one above—will reward honest effort.
The song flips the idea of being chingón (a badass). True chingones, he says, rise without dimming anyone else’s light. With catchy corrido energy, the lyrics celebrate self-reliance, resilience, and faith: carry your own backpack, fight with courage, and ignore the fools who mistake goodness for weakness. In the end, patience and honor win because “nunca falla el de arriba.”
