Verse 1

I'm the miracle of mom that was born in '96

I already knew that I was gonna be a musician since like 3

Dancing salsa at my grandma's, moving my feet

I was already living the dream when I woke up

And even though I go with the flow, I'm more about going against it

I put the rope around my neck for the ones that matter to me

You gotta have attitude to carry this imprint

My words say so much that I own a press

I got tired of walking, let the wind carry me

I got tired of living fast, I wanna go slower

I'm not into taking pictures, I live the moments

But I take one with mom, 'cause I know that she loves it

How lucky I was to find you, with there being so many

I fell in love with your words and with your acts

With thinking of you, missing you, feeling your touch

If you run, I run, if you jump, I jump

My friends are proud to see my crown

But my grandma way more, I'm a very good person

I graduated in life, where's the diploma?

Tell me, who's the one that laughs now?

I didn't finish high school and I built my company

The magic was always inside my head

I swapped my lack of air for airs of greatness

And to think that I didn't wanna leave my room

The world scared me and people even more

How many kill you for nothing, how many betray you

But I'm blessed, my angel watches over me

To find the way I know that it's never too late

I freeze up sometimes on stage

My she-devils, my devils, I thank you daily

I went unnoticed on the blocks of my neighborhood

Now my grandpa says that I'm the star of Almagro

The higher you are, the more the fall hurts

But I'm not gonna deny that pain inspires me

I left my destructive self for another life

For when I'm missing the reasons to stay alive

And I'm gonna keep trying as long as I feel like it

Because I'm here today but maybe I'm gone tomorrow

My people singing my song like a crowd

And my best line on the painted wall

Chorus 1

On the painted wall

My best line on the painted wall

On the painted wall

My best line on the painted wall

SONG MEANING

Barro is Duki’s autobiographical victory lap, a track where the Argentine star wipes the mud off his sneakers to show how far he has come. He remembers being the “miracle of mamá” born in ’96, already dancing salsa at his abuela’s house and dreaming of music before kindergarten. From there, the song zig-zags through his life: skipping school yet building his own business, going from an invisible kid in Almagro to the neighborhood’s brightest star, and swapping anxiety for aires de grandeza.

Over a bouncy beat he flashes gratitude, defiance, and vulnerability all at once. Duki thanks the fans who chant his lyrics like a football crowd, brags that his words are powerful enough to fill a printing press, and promises to keep pushing as long as he wakes up with desire. “Barro” is equal parts love letter to family, ode to self-belief, and reminder that every shining crown was once covered in clay.
