Tengo Sed

The song 'Tengo Sed' by Bardero$ delves into the raw and unfiltered experiences of street life, substance use, and the hustle of the underground world. The lyrics are a candid portrayal of the artist's environment, where drugs and alcohol are prevalent ('Tengo sed, hilos, rayas, MD / En el after con pastillas'), and the lifestyle is both risky and alluring. The reference to 'MD' likely alludes to MDMA, a psychoactive drug popular in party scenes. The song's title, 'Tengo Sed,' which translates to 'I'm Thirsty,' metaphorically expresses a craving for more—more life, more intensity, or perhaps more success.

Bardero$ uses their music to paint a picture of the harsh realities they witness and partake in, including dealing with gangsters and staying alert to danger ('Seguimos sin disquera haciendo tratos con los gánster'). The lyrics suggest a sense of pride in their ability to navigate this world without succumbing to its perils ('Quieren matarme pero no les doy motivos / Por eso se dice que estamos bendecidos'). The song also touches on themes of loyalty and belonging, as the artist mentions their close-knit group ('Bardero yo, mamá, mi hermano y bardera mi clika').

The narrative of 'Tengo Sed' is one of defiance and survival. Bardero$ asserts their dominance and uniqueness in the game ('Yo soy un elegido'), and the music itself is likened to a drug, potent and addictive ('esto no es música es droga, yeah'). The song is a testament to the artist's journey and the environment that has shaped them, offering listeners a glimpse into a world that is often glamorized but rarely understood in its full complexity.
