Redimi2 - Parabellum Lyrics
Lyrics
Reclutado desde el vientre de María Vamos empezando por ahí No estoy hablando de la virgen Es que así se llama mi mai
Luego conocí a la hierba María La que te pone en high La vendí, la consumía Disque para ponerme en Rulay
Esclavo yo fui En pura ignorancia viví Hasta que descubrí para lo que nací Y entonces
Bye bye a la calle yo me quité Tome la e'pada y me la enganché En el llamado yo me enfoqué Siempre en alta nunca le bajé
23 años y seguimos de pie No es por mi, ustedes saben por quién No soy el 1 tampoco el 3 Soy el soldado 23
Parabellum, Parabellum Fui escogido Parabellum Yo soy Frodo y tu Gollum Tengo el anillo que les da celo
Mm ahh Flow Parabello Grasa y Gracia que baja del cielo Sin irme a lo secular ruido paralelo Siempre agresivo rompiendo el hielo
Versatilidad como Old Tany Siempre Old Star como Daddy Antes que saliera la Gasolina Ya yo estaba afueguember like Manny
Desde que empecé visioné como Mac en tiempos De PC Mi túnica es única y aunque la roben pues yo sigo Siendo José Bye bye a la calle yo me quité Tome la e'pada y me la enganché En el llamado yo me enfoqué Siempre en alta nunca le bajé
23 años y seguimos de pie No es por mi, ustedes saben por quién No soy el 1 tampoco el 3 Soy el soldado 23
Parabellum, Parabellum Contra el mundo tengo un duelo Toda gente ideológica, diabólica Yo la desmantelo
En el nombre de Jesús cancelo Ni siquiera mi barbero me toma el pelo Como Tito ando con la trinidad Más dura que floyd, paquéao y Canelo
La seguridad con la que yo hablo de Cristo Molesta Soy el Cristiano Ronaldo que subestiman como a Iniesta El que tenga nariz para oler que me diga Si este mundo no apesta Doblen las apuestas el evangelio es la respuesta
Esclavo yo fui En pura ignorancia viví Hasta que descubrí para lo que nací Y entonces
Bye bye a la calle yo me quité Tome la e'pada y me la enganché En el llamado yo me enfoqué Siempre en alta nunca le bajé
23 años y seguimos de pie No es por mi, ustedes saben por quién No soy el 1 tampoco el 3 Soy el soldado 23
Parabellum, Parabellum Fui escogido Parabellum Parabellum, Parabellum Contra el mundo tengo un duelo Parabellum, Parabellum Tengo el anillo que les da celo Parabellum, Parabellum

REDIMI2 - PARABELLUM (Video Oficial)
Meaning & Inspiration
"Parabellum," released by Redimi2 on August 18, 2023, is a powerful declaration of faith and purpose, rooted in the artist's personal journey from darkness to light. The title itself, "Parabellum," is a Latin phrase meaning "prepare for war," immediately signaling the song's confrontational stance against the world's temptations and deceptions. Redimi2 doesn't shy away from his past, referencing his upbringing and a period of struggle involving substance use, symbolized by the colloquial term for marijuana he uses, which he contrasts with his mother's name. This vulnerability serves as the foundation for his transformation, as he acknowledges a turning point where he "discovered what I was born for." This echoes the biblical narrative of individuals called by God, such as Jeremiah, who was consecrated before birth (Jeremiah 1:5), and Paul, who speaks of being set apart from his mother's womb (Galatians 1:15).
The core message of "Parabellum" revolves around spiritual warfare and unwavering commitment to God's calling. Redimi2 positions himself as a soldier, "Soldado 23," not out of personal pride but as a testament to the enduring strength found in his faith, now for 23 years. This soldier metaphor is rich with biblical resonance. The Apostle Paul, in Ephesians 6:10-18, famously describes the "full armor of God" and urges believers to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. Redimi2's declaration of taking up his "sword" and focusing on his "calling" directly aligns with this scriptural imperative to engage in spiritual combat armed with the "sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:17). He speaks of being "chosen," a theme prevalent throughout Scripture, highlighting God's sovereign selection and equipping of individuals for His purposes.
The song's aggressive yet grace-filled delivery reflects a dynamic spiritual reality. Redimi2 confidently asserts his unique "flow" and the "grace that comes down from heaven," a powerful juxtaposition that speaks to the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. His comparisons to musical and athletic figures illustrate his dedication and prowess in his ministry, not for worldly acclaim but as a demonstration of God's enablement. He likens himself to an "Old Star" and mentions being "afueguember like Manny," suggesting a long-standing commitment and a fervent spirit in his evangelistic efforts. The repeated assertion of being "chosen" and a "Parabellum" soldier reinforces the idea that God equips His followers for battle, not with carnal weapons but with spiritual authority.
Furthermore, Redimi2 boldly confronts ideological and demonic forces, stating he "dismantles" them "in the name of Jesus." This is a direct invocation of the authority granted to believers through Christ, as seen in Mark 16:17, where Jesus promises that believers will cast out demons and speak in new tongues. His confidence is unwavering, even in the face of opposition, comparing his spiritual resilience to renowned boxers, highlighting his ability to withstand spiritual blows. He identifies with the humility and perceived underestimation of figures like Iniesta, recognizing that God often works through those whom the world overlooks. The song's climax urges listeners to embrace the gospel as the ultimate solution to the world's corruption and decay, positioning faith in Christ as the sure bet, the undeniable answer. Redimi2’s journey, from the "street" and "ignorance" to a life dedicated to his spiritual "calling," serves as a compelling testimony to the redemptive power of God and the enduring strength found in living out His divine purpose.
