No Saben Como Vivo (feat. JC Reyes)

Dollar Selmouni's song "No Saben Como Vivo (feat. JC Reyes)" delves deep into the harsh realities and struggles of street life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world filled with deceit, false friendships, and constant vigilance. The recurring theme of "calle y enemigos" (street and enemies) highlights the ever-present danger and mistrust that permeates this environment. The artist speaks of people who wear disguises, pretending to be friends, but are actually false witnesses who accuse without understanding the true nature of his life.

The song also touches on the economic hardships faced by those living in such conditions. Lines like "Nos han visto sin poder pagar la renta" (They have seen us unable to pay the rent) and "Siempre yo he soñado con tener mucho dinero" (I have always dreamed of having a lot of money) reflect the financial struggles and aspirations for a better life. Despite these challenges, there is a strong sense of resilience and loyalty. The artist emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself and one's community, as seen in the lines "La lealtad es lo que respeto desde del día en que nací" (Loyalty is what I respect since the day I was born).

Furthermore, the song underscores the code of respect and the need to be constantly aware of one's surroundings. The mention of "Valles de sombra, ojo' te cazan" (Valleys of shadow, eyes hunt you) and "Que nadie te persiga hasta la casa" (Let no one follow you home) illustrates the constant threat and need for vigilance. The artist's experiences from childhood, learning to count and handle situations, reflect a life shaped by the streets. This song is a raw and honest portrayal of the struggles, dreams, and codes that define life in the streets, offering listeners a glimpse into a world that is often misunderstood and misrepresented.
