Lo Niego Lyrics in English by Morad

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lo Niego by Morad from Spanish to English.
He says
I don't believe in trust, I'd rather tell everybody see you later
I stay watching alone before walking with a blind man
I don't take from anybody, I only carry my ego
I'm not bad, I deny it; I'm not bad, I deny it
I prefer walking alone to being with people that never want to see anything
I only have friends that are real, they don't live a façade
I'm not bad, I deny it and I swear it on my mom
Because these people ask you, but in the bad times nobody helped me
Careful if you give food, 'cause there are people that grab it and spit it back at you
They fail for money, for women, I learned that in time
Sometimes I play blind, but there are problems that I might not cover
And maybe I never cover it, but I always look for an escape
I only want to let my ego escape
But whoever fails me, I can't even
But whoever fails me, I can't, I can't
I don't believe in trust, I'd rather tell everybody see you later
I stay watching alone before walking with a blind man
I don't take from anybody, I only carry my ego
I'm not bad, I deny it; I'm not bad, I deny it
I only want to let my ego escape
But whoever fails me, I can't even
But whoever fails me, I can't, I can't
I don't believe in trust, I'd rather tell everybody see you later
I stay watching alone before walking with a blind man
I don't believe in trust, I'd rather tell everybody see you later
I stay watching alone before walking with a blind man
I only walked with those that were real
I was with the light-eyed dude and I saw all that evil
Seeing that bad wasn't bad, not at all
In life, whatever you want, it's not going to be gifted to you
I had problems in my head, it's gonna explode
We're the warriors if we gotta battle
Thousands of situations, thousands of problems
Thousands of situations, but I can't fail
You, you failed, that's why you weren't there
We're firm, we're never sad
I'm always happy when I'm locked up
I screamed 'friend' and my buddy yelled 'cold'
Life is ups and downs
But values are what keep it straight
And with a good ending
It's short for the short and broken
Everything passes, passes and you'll be home
Prison isn't a pretty place, but it's real
Better times aren't born, they're made
If you believe it, you create it

altibajos — ups and downs

Altibajos is a fantastic word that literally combines alti (from altos, highs) and bajos (lows) to mean "ups and downs". It's a poetic way to describe the fluctuations and challenges of life.

In this raw and honest track, Morad shares a piece of wisdom, stating, "La vida son altibajos" (Life is full of ups and downs). He uses this single, powerful word to reflect on the constant struggles and successes he's faced, framing them as a natural and unavoidable part of his journey.

Spanish drill star Morad doesn't mince his words in "Lo Niego", and right out of the gate, he sets the record straight: "No soy malo, lo niego" ("I'm not bad, I deny it"). People love to brand him as a villain, but he insists that putting up walls is just survival. He raps bluntly about trust issues, saying "Prefiero caminar solo a estar con gente que nunca quiere ver nada" ("I'd rather walk alone than be with people who never want to see anything"). In his world, fair-weather friends ask for handouts, but vanish the second things get tough: "Que esta gente te piden, pero a las malas nadie me ayudaba" ("These people ask you for things, but in bad times nobody helped me"). He even drops a biting warning about betrayal: "Cuidado si das comida porque hay gente que coge y te la escupe" ("Be careful if you feed people, because some will take it and spit it out").

What makes this track hit so hard is how matter-of-fact he stays about heavy realities. He talks about loyalty, facing trouble without flinching, and even brushes off being locked up: "La cárcel no es un sitio bonito, pero es real" ("Prison is not a nice place, but it's real"). Notice how he drops letters like a true street-level Spanish speaker, turning detenido (arrested) into deteni'o and toda into to'íta. He finishes on a gritty, self-reliant note, reminding us that good luck isn't coming to save anyone: "Tiempos mejores no nacen, se hacen" ("Better times aren't born, they're made"). You have to respect how direct he is.
