La Calle Lo Sabe (part. Homer El Mero Mero)

C.R.O's song 'La Calle Lo Sabe,' featuring Homer El Mero Mero, is a raw and unfiltered exploration of life on the streets, filled with vivid imagery and stark realities. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where drugs, crime, and fleeting pleasures dominate. The opening lines set the tone with references to drug use and the chaotic lifestyle that accompanies it. The mention of 'cristales de color' and 'pastillas' highlights the prevalence of substance abuse, while the imagery of a woman in lingerie dancing to dembow music adds a layer of hedonism and escapism.

The song delves deeper into the emotional and psychological toll of this lifestyle. The lines 'Mataría por ella; si la veo quedo rendida ante su simpleza' and 'Los síntomas empiezan, por mí nadie reza' reflect a sense of hopelessness and resignation. The protagonist is caught in a cycle of addiction and despair, with no one to pray for him or offer salvation. This is further emphasized by the recurring theme of falling into the 'prohibido de tu mente,' suggesting a constant struggle with forbidden desires and the darker aspects of the psyche.

C.R.O and Homer El Mero Mero also touch on themes of loyalty and survival. The lyrics 'Me casé con la esquina' and 'Seguimos cantándole al barrio y a la cocaína' underscore a deep connection to their roots and the harsh realities of their environment. The song is a testament to the resilience and grit required to navigate such a world, where substances provide a temporary escape but also perpetuate the cycle of misery. The rawness of the lyrics and the unapologetic portrayal of street life make 'La Calle Lo Sabe' a powerful commentary on the struggles faced by many in similar circumstances.
