Chorus 1

Against anyone

I'm going up so the envy can see it

And so the looked down on get motivated and believe it

Because here we are soldiers and we back down from nothing

Chorus 2

Against anyone

I'm going up so the envy can see it

And so the looked down on get motivated and believe it

Because here we are soldiers and we back down from nothing

Intro

You know how it is, bro, this is Dorian Ampie

For the looked down on and for the envious, you already know how it is

Yes, yes, yes, that's how it is

Chorus 3

Against anyone

I'm going up so the envy can see it

Against anyone

I'm going up so the envy can see it

And so the looked down on get motivated and believe it

Because here we are soldiers and we back down from nothing

Chorus 4

Against anyone

I'm going up so the envy can see it

And so the looked down on get motivated and believe it

Because here we are soldiers and we back down from nothing

Verse 1

I have never been scared, no matter how much I have messed up

I walk my own path, I run errands for nobody

I have always hustled for mine and they have looked down on me

Hunger and emptiness forced me to become a soldier

I am afraid of nothing and I will take on whatever comes

If I feel I cannot go on, I ask nobody to take over

I fall, I get up, we come back even stronger

I make my own name, and I have got the guts for it

Verse 2

I put my trust in prayer

They want to boss the leader around, I am no good as a pawn

So much scorn only grew my ambition

My instinct has always been boss, destined to be in charge

Verse 3

People keep gossiping that I am a criminal

Street flow, I was born in a rough neighborhood

Life can change all of a sudden

So do not look down on anyone, man

Do not look down on me, tomorrow I might be your boss

Verse 4

From zero to a hundred, baby, I am going to be right there

Whoever kneels before Him will not perish

Envy had to bite its tongue

He protects them and gives my family health

I am the underestimated one, the last one in line

Now I am in a pool, but I used to wash in a basin

Times have changed from the past, now we enjoy ourselves

Verse 5

And it is my neighborhood because that is where we are from

But I am destined to travel first class

I have got rhymes that kill and others that motivate too

God has me escorted the whole way like this

Prechorus

Against anyone I stand strong

I am not going to fear anybody

I cannot just rely on luck

I face envy with God on my side

Nobody will manage to beat me

Mama, get on your knees, because they want to see me fall

Chorus 5

Against anyone

I'm going up so the envy can see it

And so the looked down on get motivated and believe it

Because here we are soldiers and we back down from nothing

Chorus 6

Against anyone

I'm going up so the envy can see it

And so the looked down on get motivated and believe it

Because here we are soldiers and we back down from nothing

Outro

You know how it is, bro

This is Dorian Ampie

Let's go, you know how it is, bro

Here we always go hard, against anyone

Yes, that's how it is, against the envious one

You know how it is, papi

Strongly, we are the ones they look down on

From Alien 13, bro

Yes, yes, that's how it is

menospreciado — underestimated / scorned

Menospreciado means 'underestimated' or 'scorned'. It's a strong word that captures a feeling of being looked down upon or undervalued.

Contra Quien Sea is Dorian Ampie's answer to everyone who wrote him off. The title means "against whoever it is", and the hook sets the terms right away: he is going up so that envy has to watch him do it, and so that anyone else who has been looked down on takes it as a reason to believe in themselves.

The verses explain where that comes from. Hunger and emptiness are what pushed him to become a soldier. He walks his own path and runs errands for nobody, he has always hustled for what he has, and people have looked down on him the whole way. He is in a pool now, he says, but he used to wash in a basin. Falling and getting back up is treated as routine, and so is scorn, which he reckons only made him more ambitious.

Faith runs through all of it. He puts his trust in prayer, credits God with escorting him the whole way, and asks his mother to get on her knees because there are people hoping to see him fall. The spoken tags at either end name who the song is for: the menospreciados, the ones nobody rated.
