Ser Bichote

Bad Bunny's song 'Ser Bichote' delves into the artist's aspirations and the realization of his dreams. The term 'bichote' in Puerto Rican slang refers to a person of high status or influence, often associated with power and wealth. Throughout the song, Bad Bunny reflects on his childhood dreams and the societal expectations placed upon him by his family and teachers. His mother wanted him to be an engineer, his father a baseball player, and his teacher suggested he become a firefighter. However, Bad Bunny chose to follow his own path, driven by his passion and desire to achieve his own version of success.

The lyrics highlight Bad Bunny's material desires, such as owning luxury cars like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and his love for fashion, including sneakers and hats. These desires symbolize his pursuit of a lifestyle that represents freedom and self-expression. Despite the allure of a rebellious lifestyle, he acknowledges that it wasn't the right path for him. Instead, he found success in the music industry, becoming a 'bichote' in his own right without the need for a record label, emphasizing his independence and entrepreneurial spirit.

Bad Bunny also addresses the harsh realities of his environment, where schools are closing while drug dealing points are opening. This juxtaposition underscores the challenges faced by many in his community and the limited opportunities available. By achieving his dreams, Bad Bunny not only defies the odds but also serves as an inspiration to others who aspire to rise above their circumstances. His journey from a young boy with big dreams to a successful artist is a testament to perseverance and self-belief, resonating with listeners who share similar aspirations and struggles.
