Vetements Lyrics (English Translation) – Eladio Carrión

Vetements (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the mood of the song, emphasizing the excitement and satisfaction of making money. The artist expresses that there’s no better feeling than financial success, and he celebrates it with a carefree attitude, almost like singing a happy tune. The mention of “everything foreign” hints at luxury and high-end brands, reinforcing the song’s theme of wealth and status.

[Verse 1]
Eladio starts by referencing his contract with New Balance, explaining why he no longer wears Nike, showing his loyalty to brands that support him financially. He uses a metaphor comparing fear to a drawer, implying that he has so much storage (or courage) that fear doesn’t affect him. The mention of Leonardo and Mikey (likely referring to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) contrasts his speed and success with others moving slowly. He boasts about his expensive style, emphasizing that he wears Vetements, a high-end fashion brand, not just any streetwear. He describes his financial success by comparing his money flow to a self-driving Tesla—it’s effortless. He also mentions people trying to compete with him but failing, as they don’t travel as much or achieve as much as he does. His private jet lifestyle ensures he never experiences jet lag, highlighting his wealth and constant movement.

[Chorus]
Eladio confidently questions how he continues to succeed while others struggle. He points out that people keep talking about him but fail to stop his rise. He refuses to follow traditional rules or be measured by others’ standards. If his success bothers people, he suggests they should simply stop paying attention to him instead of complaining.

[Verse 2]
Eladio flaunts his wealth again by comparing the cost of his high-end weed to expensive Amiri jeans. He flexes his cash, saying he carries stacks of money, referencing blues (hundred-dollar bills) and legendary blues musician B.B. King. He reflects on his past struggles when he couldn’t even afford car tires but contrasts it with his current luxury, where he now has a personal chef with Michelin stars. This highlights his journey from hardship to ultimate success.

[Chorus]
Similar to the previous chorus, Eladio reiterates how he keeps rising while others struggle. He emphasizes that he doesn’t follow rules and refuses to be measured or compared to anyone else’s standards.

[Verse 3]
Myke Towers steps in, starting by criticizing people who have money but lack vision, implying that wealth alone doesn’t make someone successful. He believes talent and hard work are more important than just having cash. He encourages patience, practice, and perseverance instead of complaining, stating that he takes satisfaction in seeing fake people fail.

He dreams of having a mansion in his old neighborhood, showing that even with success, he values his roots. He mentions his romantic partner, saying she avoids drama and prefers action, possibly meaning she focuses on what truly matters. He treats everyone, from top executives to regular people, with respect, showing that despite his success, he remains grounded.

He boasts about his powerful presence wherever he goes and sees making, saving, and investing money as a science. He refuses to be compared to others, asserting that there’s no competition. Arriving in Quintana Roo, he feels as confident as Ñengo Flow in Valencia, comparing himself to another successful artist. He humorously contrasts his wealth with others by saying his pockets are “fat” while theirs suffer from “anorexia,” meaning they have little money.

He references Vetements again, highlighting his love for luxury fashion. He also mentions people wanting to be close to him now that he’s successful. He questions who could possibly stop him when he’s so high up in life.

He then reflects on his motivation to be financially independent, aiming to be as wealthy as tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg. He recalls being underestimated when he had nothing, but instead of being discouraged, it fueled his drive, activating his “beast mode.” He laughs at haters, saying that if they throw fire at him, he’ll throw back lava—suggesting that he always comes back stronger.

Even drug dealers who have moved massive amounts of product respect him, showing that his influence reaches different levels of power. He ends by saying people constantly ask how he does it, but for him, it’s effortless. He notices that when others face him directly, they get nervous, proving his dominance in the game.

[Outro]
Myke Towers confidently addresses Eladio, saying he’s speaking clearly and unapologetically. He announces that he’s about to release some reggaeton tracks, showing his versatility in music. He claims they have already mastered the industry, making success look easy. He reminds everyone that he and Eladio have been dominant since childhood, calling themselves “Young Kingz,” emphasizing their long-standing success and leadership in the music scene. The outro closes with a playful yet confident energy, reinforcing their unstoppable status.
