Pedidos Yema

Cruz Santa's 'Pedidos Yema' is a vivid portrayal of the underground world of drug dealing, capturing the hustle, the highs, and the lifestyle that comes with it. The song's lyrics are a direct and unapologetic inventory of various drugs, from molly and pills to tusi and pepas, reflecting the artist's role as a supplier in this illicit trade. The repeated question, '¿Qué querés?' (What do you want?), emphasizes the transactional nature of this world, where the dealer is always ready to fulfill the demands of his clients.

The song also delves into the personal life and mindset of the dealer. Lines like 'Tengo llena de pastillas toa' mi riño' (I have my kidney full of pills) and 'Sin ser Halloween les reparto a lo' niños' (Without it being Halloween, I give them to the kids) highlight the extent of his involvement and the risks he takes. The reference to 'un mini bronx' in his kidney suggests a chaotic and dangerous lifestyle, while the mention of 'medicina sana' (healthy medicine) adds a layer of irony, as the drugs he deals are far from beneficial.

Cruz Santa also touches on the social dynamics and perceptions surrounding his trade. He mentions a 'pana cheto' (a rich friend) who casually orders drugs, indicating the widespread and normalized use of these substances across different social strata. The artist's boastful tone, especially in lines like 'Voy llegando a la party acelerao'' (I'm arriving at the party sped up) and 'Todos dicen que soy un puta alzao'' (Everyone says I'm a stuck-up pimp), reflects a sense of pride and defiance. He is aware of the envy and judgment from others but remains unfazed, reveling in his success and the lifestyle it affords him.

'Pedidos Yema' is not just a song about drugs; it's a snapshot of a subculture, a commentary on societal norms, and a personal narrative of ambition and survival. Cruz Santa's raw and unfiltered lyrics provide a window into a world that is often hidden from view, challenging listeners to confront the realities of the drug trade and its impact on individuals and communities.
