Beny Jr's song 'Mr.Gazawi' is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of life on the streets, capturing the essence of struggle, survival, and the relentless hustle. The lyrics open with a dedication to the 'bandidos de la calle,' setting the tone for a narrative deeply rooted in street culture. The artist speaks of burning away pain and suffering, a metaphor for coping mechanisms often employed by those living in harsh conditions. The phrase 'siempre activo, juega vivo' emphasizes the need to stay alert and smart to navigate the challenges of street life.
The song delves into the daily grind and the constant hustle to make ends meet. Beny Jr uses vivid imagery and street slang to describe his life, from making money through illicit means to the emotional toll it takes. Lines like 'con un kilo y hago dos, esta bolsa es metadol' highlight the risky business of drug dealing, while 'pago solo pa' sonreír, cosas que me tocan vivir' reflects the high cost of finding moments of happiness amidst the chaos. The artist's reference to 'cuatro motores al Sol' suggests a relentless drive and ambition, despite the odds.

This introspection is juxtaposed with a sense of defiance and resilience, as he continues to navigate his reality. The repeated shout-outs to friends and associates who are incarcerated ('Free Sufían,' 'Free El Cata') underscore the communal bonds and shared experiences of those in his world. The song is a powerful testament to the complexities of street life, blending moments of vulnerability with an unyielding spirit.
