Dinero No Tenía

The song 'Dinero No Tenía' by Codiciado is a narrative of personal growth and transformation, set against the backdrop of the artist's own life experiences. The lyrics tell a story of someone who started with nothing, 'Dinero no tenía,' but dreamed big and made it to a life of success, despite the mistakes and 'fechorías' (misdeeds) along the way. The song serves as an apology to the artist's parents for any disappointments, acknowledging the sacrifices made and the expectations that may have been unmet as the artist pursued their dreams.

Codiciado uses cultural references to illustrate the transformation from a life of struggle to one of luxury and power. Comparing himself to iconic figures like Tony Montana from 'Scarface,' Batman, and Spider-Man, the artist emphasizes a newfound sense of invincibility and success. These references also suggest a life that may have been touched by crime or danger, as Tony Montana is a well-known movie character associated with the drug trade and Batman operates in the shadows. The mention of 'no confío ni en mi sombra' (I don't even trust my shadow) further implies a sense of caution and wariness that comes with his current lifestyle.

The chorus of the song serves as both a reflection and a message of encouragement. Codiciado acknowledges his 'vida loca' (crazy life) and the 'mañas' (tricks) he's picked up, but he also emphasizes the importance of family and learning from others. The repeated lines 'La familia no se toca' (The family is untouchable) and 'Y escuchen para aprender' (And listen to learn) suggest a deep respect for family values and the wisdom gained through experience. The song is a testament to the artist's journey and a reminder to listeners that they too can overcome their circumstances and achieve their dreams.
