The Unapologetic Voice of the Streets: Gera MX's 'Problemático'
Gera MX's song 'Problemático,' featuring Santa Fe Klan, is a raw and unapologetic anthem that delves into the life and mindset of a street poet. The repeated declaration of being a 'problemático' (troublemaker) with a 'pluma y mi libreta' (pen and notebook) sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the artist's commitment to his craft and his unfiltered expression. The term 'lunático' (lunatic) further underscores the intensity and passion Gera MX brings to his music, suggesting that his creativity borders on madness.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of street life, with references to money, drugs, and violence. Gera MX and Santa Fe Klan describe their environment with a sense of pride and defiance, highlighting their resilience and determination to succeed despite the odds. The line 'La vida jugando ruleta' (Life playing roulette) captures the unpredictability and risk inherent in their lifestyle. The artists also touch on themes of loyalty and camaraderie, as seen in lines like 'Si me cuida' la espalda, te cuido también' (If you watch my back, I'll watch yours), emphasizing the importance of trust and solidarity in their world.
The song also addresses the misconceptions and judgments faced by the artists. Gera MX criticizes those who attribute his success solely to money, reminding listeners of the hard work, sacrifices, and personal experiences that have shaped his career. The defiant tone in lines like 'Estamos listos pa' morir en la guerra' (We are ready to die in the war) and 'Soy el mismo de siempre, nada podrá cambiarme' (I am the same as always, nothing can change me) reinforces the idea that their authenticity and dedication are unwavering. 'Problemático' is a powerful testament to the struggles and triumphs of life in the streets, delivered with a raw, unfiltered energy that is characteristic of Gera MX's style.
