Tintados

ElPatron970's song 'Tintados' is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of life in the streets, where survival is a daily battle. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where danger lurks around every corner, and trust is a rare commodity. The recurring theme of praying for protection ('Todos los días le rezo al de arriba primo a que me cuide de todos los males') underscores the constant threat of violence and the need for divine intervention to navigate through the perils of street life.

The imagery of 'negro en el carro y la prenda de negro y tintados todos los cristales' (black in the car, wearing black, and all the windows tinted) symbolizes a life lived in the shadows, where anonymity is a shield against both law enforcement and envious rivals. The stolen car ('Of course si que el carro es stolen') and the mention of selling crack before making music tapes highlight a past steeped in illegal activities, reflecting the harsh realities and limited opportunities that often push individuals into a life of crime.

ElPatron970 also touches on themes of loyalty and resilience. The lines 'Nunca guardo nada donde duermo por si acá los guardias la puerta me tumban' (I never keep anything where I sleep in case the guards break down the door) and 'To' mis hermanitos si les pasa algo que nunca declaren en comisaria' (All my brothers, if something happens to them, they never declare at the police station) emphasize the code of silence and the unbreakable bonds among those who share the same struggles. The song is a testament to the artist's journey from the 'trap house' to a more prosperous life, despite the envy and obstacles faced along the way.

'Tintados' is not just a song; it's a narrative of survival, loyalty, and the relentless pursuit of success against all odds. It captures the essence of street life with a gritty authenticity that resonates with anyone who has faced similar challenges.
