Carbon 15 (part. Anuel AA)

The song 'Carbon 15' by Ñengo Flow featuring Anuel AA is a raw and gritty portrayal of street life, violence, and the code of the streets. The lyrics are filled with references to guns, violence, and the harsh realities of life in the urban underworld. The title itself, 'Carbon 15,' refers to a type of firearm, which sets the tone for the song's aggressive and confrontational message.

Throughout the song, Ñengo Flow and Anuel AA use vivid imagery and street slang to describe a life of constant vigilance and readiness for conflict. The artists talk about their dominance and readiness to defend themselves against enemies, using metaphors of warfare and weaponry to convey their toughness and resilience. The repeated phrase 'explota la guerra' (the war explodes) suggests a life where violence can erupt at any moment, and one must always be prepared.

The song also touches on themes of loyalty and betrayal, with references to 'leones' (lions) not mixing with 'hienas' (hyenas) and 'judas' in the last supper, implying a clear distinction between friends and foes. The artists assert their position in the street hierarchy, warning others not to cross them. The cultural context of the song is deeply rooted in the experiences of those living in Puerto Rico's urban neighborhoods, where such narratives of survival and power struggles are a part of daily life.
