Apocalipsis Lyrics (English Translation) – Arcángel

Apocalipsis (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse]
Arcángel starts by talking about how he was born small, but he grew up around giants—basically saying that even though he came from humble beginnings, he was raised around strong, influential, and possibly dangerous people. That shaped who he is. He calls himself a millionaire with the dream of being a singer, which means even after gaining wealth, he never let go of his passion for music. Growing up around both musicians and street figures made him tough, and now he doesn’t take anyone acting like a fake gangster seriously. That’s his way of saying he’s seen the real deal, so fake personas don’t impress or scare him.

When he says he looks back and sees how things have changed, but looks ahead and feels five steps ahead, he’s making it clear he’s moved far past who he used to be and he’s already ahead of those trying to catch up. Then he talks about shining brighter than his diamonds, which is a way of saying his success and energy go beyond just flashy things—he stands out in ways money can’t even buy. He brushes off the hate and gossip around him, calling it irrelevant. He says his money is clean and can’t be washed anymore, which hints at the fact that he made his wealth honestly and doesn’t need to hide anything.

Next, he throws some shade by comparing other guys to the people around them, calling them all talk and full of nonsense. He uses wild imagery like “picket line burns like lava” to say his words and presence are intense and hard to handle. He also name-drops Frabi, possibly a music collaborator, asking him to turn up the music like turning up the heat in a track. He calls out people who try to act like they’re doing well but were never around when things were tough. He points out that he made it on his own—he didn’t need those people who now pretend to support him.

Arcángel then praises his own music, saying he sounds incredible when he records. He claims he’s not motivated by money, and that even if he came in last, he’s still doing things his own way. He talks about his father, who was an accountant, and how that helped him learn life lessons as a kid—probably referring to discipline or understanding the value of money. Despite all that, he still comes across as raw and intense in his music. He’s aware that some people don’t like him, saying he leaves a strong impression, like a bitter drink.

He brings up his mother, saying she raised him to be an honorable man, and that he hasn’t let his family down. He describes himself as cunning and picky, especially when he writes, and takes pride in his skill. Then he gets real personal—talking about looking at himself in the mirror and struggling to face what he sees, which shows some inner conflict or self-awareness. He calls out people who are bold enough to face him, saying they’re shameless, and throws a final diss by saying they’re fired—like he’s done with them.

He uses dark and powerful imagery, saying when bells ring he feels like the Undertaker, hinting at how serious and intense he becomes when it’s time for action. The blackout on the rifle line sounds like he’s ready to go full force and destroy obstacles. He compares himself to Anthony Edwards defeating the Lakers, and then to Darth Vader, saying he’s a force from the dark side that can’t be stopped. He’s been making money for over two decades and says he’s ready to crash anyone’s success who threatens him. He calls himself a wonder, like a superhero, even with many enemies. Even surgery couldn’t take him down—he says not even his own heart could kill him. To beat him, someone would have to be reborn and try again, because he’s on another level. He finishes by saying God has had his soul since birth, and he calls himself the apocalypse of this Genesis—like he’s the powerful end to a new beginning.

[Outro]
Laughter showing confidence, mockery, and dominance.
