El bola

HAZE's song 'El Bola' paints a vivid and gritty picture of a young man's descent into a life of crime and chaos.

From stealing cars to robbing jewelry stores, his actions become more dangerous and reckless. The chorus serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of his lifestyle, urging him to wake up and realize the self-destructive path he is on. The repeated lines, 'porque siempre tas robando tu no comprende k eso no es weno' (because you're always stealing, you don't understand that it's not good), emphasize the futility and peril of his choices.
