PVSL Lyrics – Paulo Londra

PVSL Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro announces the start of a rap battle, with Paulo Londra being given 40 seconds to showcase his skills.

[Verso 1]
Paulo criticizes those who only pursue trap music for money, rather than passion or culture. He calls out people who forget the real meaning of rap, challenging them to create music without mentioning brands. He points out how some artists are more focused on appearance and trends, like a “flogger” hairstyle, rather than the quality of their music. Paulo reminds others that true value comes from doing things with honor, not just for money. He says that everything others have achieved, they owe to him in some way, like how legends like Muhammad Ali paved the way for figures like Mayweather. Finally, he questions whether these people are still a part of the real rap scene or if they’ve changed for the worse.

[Puente]
The phrase “tiempo” (time) signals the end of the 40 seconds for Paulo to rap, and a transition to the next part of the battle.

[Verso 2]
In this verse, Paulo talks about how he became successful at a young age, even making money before others had a chance to. He points out how his success has allowed people, like his family, to live better lives. Paulo contrasts his hard work and hustle with those who come from humble beginnings and play video games like “Nintendo.” He says that while others have talent, they may not be able to handle the responsibilities of being a full-fledged artist, father, or businessman. He mentions how he solved problems for others, and acknowledges that while people might be angry or jealous, he still stands strong.

[Estribillo]
Paulo expresses indifference to what people say about him, saying that nothing they can say is new. He’s already been through the worst, and while he’s not perfect, neither are they. In the end, he only answers to God, not to anyone else’s judgment.

[Interludio]
The judges shout “replica” (rematch), signaling that Paulo’s rap battle continues.

[Verso 3]
Paulo says this is his last response to someone he sees as weak, comparing the person to Robin while he’s like Obi-Wan Kenobi. He challenges them to explain how they can pretend to be a leader when they’re just following.

[Puente]
The rap continues, with Paulo preparing for his next move, getting ready to deliver another round of bars.

[Verso 4]
Paulo compares himself to a cat with multiple lives, saying that no matter what others throw at him, he’ll always bounce back. He claims to know others’ fears and weaknesses and could tell them what they’re missing, but they need to go through the process themselves to learn.

[Estribillo]
Once again, Paulo reinforces that others’ opinions don’t matter to him. He’s seen and heard it all before, and while he’s not perfect, he knows that only God can judge him.
