Branzino Lyrics – Eladio Carrión

Branzino Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1 (Eladio Carrión)]
Eladio starts by mentioning luxury brands and fine dining, showing his wealth and status. He talks about eating with “Benito” (likely Bad Bunny), drinking wine, and living a life where all his wishes come true, like Aladdin. He compares himself to a chef, saying people love his “cooking” (his music), and they keep coming back for more.

Then, he explains that he doesn’t compare himself to others, whether friends or competitors, because that can create unnecessary rivalries. He hypes himself up every day, saying he believes in himself without being arrogant. Loyalty is the only thing he asks from people close to him.

Eladio prides himself on always bringing a fresh style and never copying anyone. He sees no limits to his success—just like the sky, he can keep rising. While people now compare him to the elites, he has always considered himself elite. He feels like he’s on top of the world, like a satellite, and doesn’t believe anyone is better than him.

He emphasizes his resilience, saying he never gave up on his goals, even when facing obstacles. His focus has always been on making money and staying disciplined. He carries the weight of his city on his back, working hard for his people. Fans even represent his brand globally, from his hometown to London.

Eladio states that he’s the man, with no backup plan—only a “Plan A,” like Puerto Rican artist Chencho Corleone. After grinding for ten years, his hunger for success hasn’t gone away. He compares this hunger to being stranded in the Andes, referencing the famous survival story. He continues stacking money like playing Tetris and keeps his cool like a Yeti. He boasts that no other rapper can do what he does. Some people call him modest, but he knows his worth. Finally, he reminds everyone that he put his area (Puerto Rico’s east side) on the map.

[Chorus (Eladio Carrión)]
Eladio declares that if he can’t achieve something, then no one can. He believes in hard work and hustling, making anything possible. Life is like a dinner table—everyone needs to eat, meaning success should be shared. When it comes to making money, his team is always ready to go after it.

[Verse 2 (Eladio Carrión)]
Eladio compares his speed and success to Flash, showing his unstoppable energy. He brags about his stylish outfits and financial success, saying he has half a million dollars just sitting in his car’s dashboard. Not making money irritates him, like an allergic reaction.

He describes his luxurious life, from eating expensive seafood in Malibu to traveling in a sprinter van that feels like a party bus. His watch is frozen like Alaska, and he has premium-quality products, making a reference to “Gelato” (high-quality cannabis). He challenges those who think success is easy, telling them to try and do what he does.

He acknowledges that money doesn’t bring happiness and that not everyone will have the same values or mindset. He knows he’s one of a kind and doesn’t need comparisons. Those who doubted him in the past now have to watch his success up close, as if he rubbed it in their faces like a facial treatment.

[Chorus (Eladio Carrión & Big Sean)]
Again, the chorus reinforces the idea that Eladio and his team are unstoppable. They work hard and win at everything they do. When it’s time to make money, they’re always ready.

[Verse 3 (Big Sean)]
Big Sean comes in with confidence, stating that he’s about to show off his skills. He uses imagery of “kicking in the door,” meaning he’s breaking into new levels of success and can’t be ignored. His team is so solid that they can’t be cropped out of the picture.

From a high-up perspective (“bird’s eye view”), he’s making big moves. He makes a playful comment about women, saying if a girl doesn’t have his puppy, then she’s not really his girl. Then, he mentions “champagne problems,” meaning he has rich-people issues, like not knowing how to deal with his massive success.

Sean flexes about his wealth, saying his house is so big he can jog inside. He started from the bottom but now dominates the game like a ball hog in sports. Even though he makes big money, he still moves carefully. Unlike some, he has never needed to auction off anything—he earns his money through talent, not selling possessions.

He talks about how people suddenly want him back when he’s winning, but at first, they ignored him. Now, he’s making top 10 hits, and even though people try to block his progress, they can’t stop him. He brags about his car, saying it barely stopped before a girl already jumped in.

Big Sean is locked in, focused, and untouchable. He compares his love for money (“C-note” bills) to his love for high-end food (branzino). He references classic movies like Tarantino films, implying his life is full of action and drama. He flexes on his stylish fashion and sharp speeches.

He acknowledges his journey, referencing the famous line from The Notorious B.I.G.—”it was all a dream”—to show how far he has come. He doesn’t rush anything, except adrenaline when he’s chasing success. He even hints at a public figure who’s trying to be romantically involved with him.

Sean ends with a powerful reference to Malcolm X, saying he’ll achieve his financial goals “by any means necessary.” He sees time as his biggest competition and is racing against it to maximize his success. Finally, he shouts out Eladio, making it clear that they are both dominating the game.

[Outro (Big Sean)]
Big Sean signs off with a simple and confident statement, telling others to move aside because he’s in control.
