Cero (remix) (feat. Cano)

El Jhota's 'Cero (remix) (feat. Cano)' is a song that delves into the harsh realities of street life, crime, and the pursuit of money. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with challenges, where trust is scarce and survival often depends on illegal activities. The song's title, 'Cero,' which translates to 'Zero' in English, could symbolize starting from nothing and the struggle to rise from the bottom to reach for the sky, as suggested by the opening lines.

The song touches on themes of betrayal, as friends come and go, and loyalty is often compromised for financial gain. The reference to 'bandolero y su gatillo pa’ apretar' (bandit and his trigger to press) suggests a readiness to engage in violence, which is a stark reality for many involved in criminal activities. The artist also reflects on the impact of crime on family, expressing a desire for a mother not to suffer anymore, indicating a wish to leave behind a life of crime.

El Jhota also addresses the issue of corruption and the flawed justice system, where 'inocentes que van presos' (innocents who go to prison) and a lack of trust in the police are recurring themes. The song's narrative conveys a sense of disillusionment with authority figures and a system that often fails those it's supposed to protect. The repeated lines about not buying or selling drugs anymore suggest a desire for change and redemption, highlighting the internal conflict between the allure of easy money and the quest for a better life.
