I have reasons, and I bring them here with me
I don't brag to you, I just say what I live
Because of my humility, they think that they can humiliate me
I hear them talk, and then they greet
The fish dies from moving its mouth so much
That happens to jealous people
They think that the world revolves around them
A coward died, nobody remembered him
Take good care when you get to the summit
Keep fighting to stay up there
How easy it is to have friends now where I am
When I had nothing, nobody helped me
It's about to be three
The tree keeps on giving, man
Pure Junior H
Live your life and appreciate what you have
Focus, you know what you deserve
They want to compare themselves with what I am now
You're not in my shoes
You don't even know who I am
They know only the little that I expose to them
Ups and downs, six for the Lexus, that is, all of them
I don't stumble twice over the same mistake
I'm forming a path
That nobody walked
Maybe they'll learn a little from my advice
Live happy, because you have the right
You decide who you are and where you're going
Don't let go of the steering wheel, and don't look back

SONG MEANING

“Tengo Motivos” is Junior H’s musical pep-talk to himself and anyone chasing a dream. Over pulsing corridos-tumbados guitars he lists the motivos he keeps close: humble roots, hard-won success, and a sharp eye on jealous tongues that wag like “a fish that dies for moving its mouth.” He calls out fake friends who only showed up once he reached the summit, reminding us that empty bragging and envy are dead ends.

At its heart, the song is a roadmap for staying true while climbing higher. Junior H urges listeners to enjoy what you have, know what you deserve, and never let go of the wheel. The lyrics celebrate personal growth—learning from mistakes, carving a path no one else has walked, and deciding for yourself who you are and where you are headed. It is an anthem of resilience, self-worth, and the steady grind that turns motives into milestones.
