Living Like a King: The Rise of Corona
In 'CORONA - COMO UN REY,' the artist Corona paints a vivid picture of his newfound success and the lifestyle that comes with it. The song's repetitive chorus, 'Siempre voy de negro como Drake, Salgo pa' la calle y yo me siento como un rey,' translates to 'I always wear black like Drake, I go out and feel like a king.' This line sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing Corona's confidence and sense of royalty in his current status. By comparing himself to Drake, a globally recognized artist, Corona underscores his own rise in the music industry and the respect he commands.
The lyrics delve into the material aspects of his success, such as wearing Yeezys, driving cars instead of riding bikes, and spending money that is 'not fake.' These lines highlight the tangible rewards of his hard work and the shift from a life of struggle to one of luxury. The mention of 'negociando por qué ya no tamo' en crisis' (negotiating because we're no longer in crisis) reflects a significant change in his financial situation, suggesting that he has overcome past hardships to achieve his current status.
Corona also touches on personal relationships and loyalty. He mentions ignoring a call from an ex because he no longer wants 'gente falsa' (fake people) in his life, and expresses deep gratitude towards his family, especially his mother. This adds a layer of emotional depth to the song, showing that despite his success, he remains grounded and values the people who supported him from the beginning. The song is not just a celebration of wealth and fame but also a tribute to perseverance, loyalty, and the journey from zero to hero.
