Porque Soy Tempo Lyrics Meaning

[Reportera]
This part acts like a reporter or announcer introducing Tempo’s story to the listeners. It says that many people have been talking about Tempo, making him a topic everywhere, but nobody really took the time to listen to what he actually has to say. Now, it’s time for everyone to hear the full truth about him—from his own voice. It prepares us to understand the real situation behind the rumors and gossip. It feels like the first chance Tempo has to explain himself openly to the world.

[Tempo]
Here, Tempo explains why he feels the need to tell his story. He’s a little hurt because people believe money can buy happiness or fix the time he lost while in prison, but he knows that’s not true. Money can’t bring back lost time or fix deep struggles. Instead, he believes that only his faith in Jesus and the support of his people are what really helped him get through the hardest moments. He’s saying that real strength and freedom don’t come from money, but from God and the people who stand by him. That’s what got him through prison and helps him stay strong.

[Coro]
In this part, Tempo talks about how nervous he feels when he sees a police car, and how he lowers his window to show who’s really inside the car—the driver and the person being judged. When the police stop him, he wants to ask why they think he is who they say he is—why he’s “Tempo,” with all the bad stories around him. He shows respect to those who also feel like they’re always being chased or judged unfairly by the system. Tempo feels connected to these people because they are the ones who really deserve to hear what he has to say through his music. This is a message to people living under pressure, telling them his story is theirs too.

[Verso 1]
Here, Tempo gets real about his life. He says he’s going to show who he really is and challenges the people who look down on rappers. He believes rappers deserve respect because rapping is not just music—it’s a way of life and a way to freely say whatever you want. Tempo lives life on his own terms, with money in his pockets, food in his fridge, and women around. He’s known all over his island and he’s happy with that. He stresses that he doesn’t use drügs or fake things to keep going—music is his real work. He points out he wasn’t born rich, and because of that, people now call him a bad guy or gangster, but that’s just a label put on him because he comes from a poor neighborhood. He says everyone has a right to have what they want in life, no matter where they started. Just because he wasn’t rich at birth, people think he’s a criminal, but that’s unfair. He’s proud of where he comes from and fights against those stereotypes.

[Refrán]
In this short part, Tempo reminds us that he’s someone who stays in the hearts of people, like a permanent memory. He compares himself to a famous person from his hometown, showing that his story is part of the community’s history. He says his music changed his life, but even though they locked him up physically, they couldn’t trap his spirit or soul. That shows how strong he feels inside—free even behind bars.

[Coro]
This is a repeat of the chorus, reinforcing the feeling Tempo has whenever he sees police. He lowers his window so they can see the real him, not just the rumors about Tempo. When stopped, he wants to challenge the police by asking why they think the way they do about him. He also gives a shout-out to people who feel persecuted like him and says those people are the ones who really deserve to hear his music. It’s a way of showing solidarity with others who live under pressure or unfair judgment.

[Verso 2]
Here Tempo goes deeper into his fight. He talks about how he’s been accused of different crimes recently but says the prosecutors don’t have real proof. He believes these charges are just made up because of his songs and what he says in them. Tempo openly calls out corrupt officials like police, judges, and prosecutors, saying they abuse their power and are involved in a conspiracy against him. He says he’s just defending himself and hopes people understand that he’s selling music, not crimes. He’s not trying to clean himself up or excuse anything, but since there’s no evidence, he has to say he’s innocent. He gets angry at the unfair treatment and warns that if things keep going this way, he might fight back hard, like a famous activist who stood up for justice. Tempo says they will have to deal with him no matter what because he won’t stop speaking his truth. He repeats that people have to accept him, whether they like it or not.

[Outro]
In the last part, Tempo talks about how a few people started rumors and lies about him, and those lies got him in trouble. He keeps saying he’s innocent and won’t admit to things he didn’t do, no matter what others think. He admits he’s not perfect and not some angel, but he’s also not the criminal they want to make him out to be. Tempo is calmly handling the situation, trusting that real justice will happen, not the fake kind that protects those in power. He feels confident about his future and plans to keep making music that no one else does. He’s positive and believes that, with God’s help, better days are coming and his life will shine again.
