MESITA (BZRP Music Sessions #12)

The song 'MESITA (BZRP Music Sessions #12)' by Bizarrap, an Argentine music producer known for his 'Music Sessions' where he collaborates with various artists, dives into themes of resilience, temptation, and the complexities of street life. The lyrics, delivered in Spanish, are rich with urban slang and metaphors, painting a picture of someone who is navigating the challenges of their environment while trying to stay true to personal promises and aspirations.

The opening lines introduce a character asking for a line of cocaine that won't harm them, a request that reflects the struggle with addiction and the desire to avoid serious consequences ('no me quiero encanicar' suggests not wanting to end up in jail). The mention of a promise made to the character's mother adds a layer of personal conflict, highlighting the tension between the allure of the streets and the desire to make loved ones proud. The recurring theme of 'no' fuimo' a fuego' (we went to fire) and the metaphor of buying an umbrella for the 'aguacero' (downpour) suggest a readiness to face life's challenges head-on, with resilience and preparedness.

The song also delves into the artist's personal experiences and the harsh realities of street life. References to violence, the law, and the digital world ('Me buscan como un interne', investiga por mis video') indicate a life under scrutiny, where one's actions are constantly watched and judged. The duality of wanting a 'santa' (saint) at home and a 'sata' (devil) in a hotel room reflects the internal conflict between societal expectations and personal desires. The concluding lines, filled with derogatory terms for women, suggest a dismissive attitude towards relationships, focusing instead on material gain and immediate gratification.
