Relojito

Alemán's song 'Relojito' is a poignant reflection on the relentless passage of time and the harsh realities of life in Mexico. The title, which translates to 'Little Clock,' sets the stage for a narrative that grapples with the desire to pause time amidst the struggles of daily life. The repeated plea for the clock to stop highlights a yearning for respite from the constant pressures and challenges faced by the artist and his community.

The lyrics delve into the socio-economic struggles that many Mexicans face, painting a vivid picture of a life where making ends meet is a daily battle. Alemán contrasts his own salvation through hip-hop with the grim reality that others turn to violence and crime, symbolized by the 'Glock,' to survive. The mention of earning 'mil pesitos a la semana' (a thousand pesos a week) underscores the meager earnings that many have to live on, further emphasizing the desperation that drives people to extreme measures.

Alemán also touches on the broader societal issues, such as the high levels of violence in Mexican cities and the lack of opportunities that plague many communities. The reference to 'Los Cabos' as one of the most violent cities in the world serves as a stark reminder of the dangerous environment that many Mexicans navigate daily. The song's critical tone towards governmental neglect and corruption is evident in lines that call out the empty promises and ineffective policies that fail to address the root causes of these issues. Through 'Relojito,' Alemán not only shares his personal struggles but also gives voice to the collective frustrations and hopes of his fellow citizens.
