You want to succeed but you don't work

You want to sell, cousin, you're always on sale

You want to fight and you go with low ammunition

You want to front but you only have

You want to succeed but you don't work

You want to sell, cousin, you're always on sale

You want to fight and you go with low ammunition

You want to front but you only have

You want to succeed, white, but you don't work

You want to sell, cousin, and you're always on sale

You want to fight and you go with low ammunition

You want to front but you only have casualties

You didn't want Recycled and they gave you two cups

I wanted cake and I've already started to get stuffed

You wanted that girl but she gave you shit

I don't want one who wants to be a Kardashian

I want him to speak well and spit like Sasha

In El Pariseo I know what is in my element

In paradise, with you in bed

You want to succeed but you don't work

You want to sell, cousin, you're always on sale

You want to fight and you go with low ammunition

You want to front but you only have

You want to succeed but you don't work

You want to sell, cousin, you're always on sale

You want to fight and you go with low ammunition

You want to front but you only have

You want to be Bisbal and you stayed in Mafalda

For a Seat Panda or the slit in your skirt

I wanted daddy at home, sing like Usher

Fat like Rihanna

You wanted a needle and you only found straw

You wanted the champagne and you only paid fantas

You wanted to hesitate with a five-seater Cayenne

You wanted more, more, and now you drive in a Dacia

You wanted to talk dirty, be moving fat

But you screwed up like Ayahuasca

You wanted Real Madrid but you ended up at Barça

You wanted a moccasin but you're a flip flop

You want to succeed but you don't work

You want to sell, cousin, you're always on sale

You want to fight and you go with low ammunition

You want to front but you only have

You want to succeed but you don't work

You want to sell, cousin, you're always on sale

and you go with low ammunition

You want to front but you only have

“Kids” is a sharp, funny call-out aimed at people who want success, money, status, and respect without putting in the work. The repeated line “Tú quieres triunfar pero no trabajas” [You want to succeed, but you do not work] sets the tone. The speaker mocks someone who wants to sell things “siempre estás de rebaja” [you are always on sale], start a fight with “munición baja” [low ammunition], and “frontear” [show off or act tough] while having almost nothing to back it up. The slang makes the insults hit harder, especially “solo tienes bajas” [you only have casualties or losses], a joke about looking powerful but ending up defeated.

The verses keep knocking down inflated dreams with playful comparisons. Someone wants to be like David Bisbal but ends up as Mafalda, dreams of champagne but drinks cheap “fantas,” and imagines driving a five-seat Porsche Cayenne while actually riding in a Dacia. “Te dio calabazas” [she rejected you] means the girl you wanted turned you down, while “bocachancla” [bigmouth] describes someone who talks too much. There are also pop-culture names such as Usher, Rihanna, Sasha, Real Madrid, and Barça, plus everyday Spanish references like a Seat Panda and a moccasin. Beneath the jokes, the message stays blunt: wanting the image of success is easy, but the lyrics keep asking what you really have to show for it.
