Como Jordan

Junior H's 'Como Jordan' paints a vivid picture of a street-savvy individual who has risen above challenges and now revels in a life of excess and success. The song's title references basketball legend Michael Jordan, symbolizing a level of greatness and dominance in the game of life. The lyrics describe the protagonist as an 'old wolf' among 'pups' who cannot match his level, suggesting experience and cunning that set him apart from the less seasoned.

The narrative of the song delves into the protagonist's past desires to escape his rough neighborhood and provide for his family, particularly to support his sister's education. However, the path he chose to achieve this was through 'working hard' in ways that are implied to be less than legal or moral. The repeated lines about spending money, being with models, and enjoying 'la feria' (which can mean a fair or, in this context, a spree or a life of pleasure) indicate a lifestyle filled with materialism and hedonism as a way to fill an inner void.

The song also touches on themes of identity and self-perception. The protagonist acknowledges his failures, such as dropping out of school, and embraces a self-image of being 'crazy' and 'bad.' He finds solace in material wealth, such as buying thick chains, and in listening to 'corridos' (a genre of Mexican music that often tells stories of outlaws), which reflect his own life's narrative. The song is a complex portrayal of the pursuit of success at any cost, the emptiness that can accompany it, and the cultural elements that shape one's identity.
