Virtud

Gera MX's song 'Virtud' delves into the gritty realities of street life, where survival is a daily battle and trust is a rare commodity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where danger lurks around every corner, and every decision can mean the difference between life and death. The opening lines, 'ríe, que traigan los kilos / Corre, ve y dilo, la vida colgando de un hilo,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the precarious nature of existence in this environment. The reference to 'kilos' suggests involvement in drug trafficking, a common theme in urban narratives, while 'la vida colgando de un hilo' underscores the constant threat of violence and instability.

The song also explores themes of loyalty and betrayal, as seen in lines like 'Desconfío por la razón del humano y su actitud / Sé que me quieres ver bien, pero no mejor que tú.' Here, Gera MX expresses a deep-seated mistrust of others, even those who claim to have his best interests at heart. This sentiment is further emphasized by the imagery of 'Cadillacs y Mustangs pasando por la avenida / Miran sospechosos con la mirada perdida,' which evokes a sense of paranoia and the need to always be on guard. The mention of 'Dos rayas en la mesa, la. 22 escondida' adds to the tension, suggesting a world where drugs and weapons are never far from reach.

Despite the harsh realities depicted in 'Virtud,' there is also a sense of pride and resilience. Gera MX's assertion that 'es mi virtud / Siempre mejores que tú y tu crew' speaks to a determination to rise above the challenges and emerge stronger. This duality of vulnerability and strength is a recurring theme in his music, reflecting the complexities of life in the streets. Gera MX's raw and unfiltered portrayal of this world offers listeners a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of those who navigate its treacherous terrain daily.
