Ladeando

The song 'Ladeando' by Herencia de Patrones delves into the lifestyle of someone deeply involved in the underground economy, possibly referencing drug dealing and consumption. The lyrics open with a description of a double cup filled with purple syrup, which is a common reference to codeine cough syrup mixed with soda, a concoction known as 'lean' or 'sizzurp' that is popular in some hip-hop communities. The act of 'ladeando,' which can be translated to 'swaying' or 'leaning,' likely refers to the physical and mental state induced by consuming this drink.

The song continues to describe the dealings and lifestyle associated with this underground economy. References to 'ladrillos' (bricks) and 'ocho onzas' (eight ounces) suggest drug trafficking, while the mention of 'Sprite de dos litros' (two-liter Sprite) brings us back to the preparation of the drink. The lyrics portray a sense of pride in the connections and business acumen of the protagonist, who sees themselves as a 'hombre de negocios' (businessman), despite the illicit nature of their trade.

Throughout the song, there's an air of defiance and indifference to public opinion. The protagonist acknowledges the criticism from the community but remains unbothered, focusing on their business and the profits they are making. The song paints a picture of someone who is deeply entrenched in a risky lifestyle, yet finds a sense of accomplishment and identity within it.
