Tengo Un Trato

Mala Rodríguez's song 'Tengo Un Trato' is a powerful declaration of self-reliance and assertiveness. The lyrics convey a strong message of taking control of one's life and circumstances, regardless of external challenges. Rodríguez uses a direct and confrontational tone to express her determination to handle her affairs independently, emphasizing that what belongs to her is solely her responsibility ('lo mío pa mi saco').

The song also touches on themes of personal improvement and resilience. Rodríguez advises listeners to avoid negativity ('Huye de lo malo'), seek productive activities, and maintain their health, whether they are 'gordo' or 'flaco'. This suggests a holistic approach to well-being, advocating for balance and health in both physical and professional aspects of life. The repeated line 'Tengo un trato' reinforces the idea of a personal pact or commitment to oneself, highlighting the importance of self-accountability.

Rodríguez's lyrics also reflect a philosophy of overcoming adversity with a proactive and positive mindset. She rejects victimhood ('Ya sé que pedir socorro no vale pa na') and promotes taking action to improve one's situation ('Lo mejor significa barre tu terreno'). The imagery of dreaming and missions ('Son misiones en el cielo') suggests that aspirations and hard work are grounded in reality ('Así piso el suelo'), which aligns with her overall message of empowerment and self-sufficiency.
