Cheve

Control Machete's song "Cheve" is a vivid portrayal of a wild night out, filled with alcohol, chaos, and camaraderie. The lyrics paint a picture of a Sunday morning hangover, with the protagonist reflecting on the previous night's events. The song begins with a headache and a spinning room, hinting at the heavy drinking that took place. The mention of tequila and beer sets the stage for a night of revelry with friends, crashing a wedding, and enjoying free drinks and music. The carefree attitude is evident as the protagonist recalls the disorderly fun, including getting kicked out for causing a scene and even urinating on the wedding car.

The chorus, repeating the word "cheve" (a slang term for beer), emphasizes the central role that alcohol plays in the narrative. The second verse continues the story, with the group searching for more beer in the early hours of the morning. Their determination to keep the party going leads them to a store, where they devise a plan to acquire more alcohol without paying. This part of the song highlights the resourcefulness and mischievous nature of the group, as well as their unwavering commitment to their night of drinking.

As the night progresses, the effects of the alcohol become more pronounced. The protagonist describes feeling dizzy and puppet-like, struggling with basic tasks like unzipping his pants. Despite the physical toll, the camaraderie and shared experience of drinking with friends provide a sense of joy and escape from everyday problems. The song ends with a hopeful note, looking forward to the next drinking session with friends. "Cheve" captures the essence of a night out in a raw and unfiltered manner, celebrating the highs and lows of such experiences.
