All I have in this world is my name and my balls. — A translation from the Cuban Spanish saying : “Todo lo que tengo en este mundo es mi nombre y mis juevos.” This is a statement of ambition and a desire for “THE COME UP” — meaning an ascension in status and power. It’s the oppositional statement to “Started from the bottom and we’re here; started from the bottom now the whole teams’s here” — which is a statement of a successful “come up”
All I have in this world is my name and my balls entered common parlance through the movie Scarface and is one of its most oft quoted lines. It’s amazing that as of 2023 C.E. this famous sentence has not been entered into the Urban Dictionary. Well, all I have in this world is my name, my balls, and my ability to write. And it is in that spirit — the spirit of THE COME UP — that I submit this definition.
All I have in this world is my name and my balls. Todo lo que tengo en este mundo es mi nombre y mis juevos — and I don’t anyone shit on either of these.
