The Unyielding Spirit of Trap: A Dive into 'Tengo 30'
KHEA's 'Tengo 30,' featuring Duki, Neo Pistea, Cazzu, and Tali Goya, is a raw and unfiltered anthem of the trap lifestyle. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artists' lives, filled with excess, hustle, and a relentless pursuit of success. The recurring line, 'Tengo 30 pa’ fumá y un litro pa mezclá’,' symbolizes the abundance of material pleasures and the constant state of indulgence that characterizes their world. However, despite these luxuries, there's an underlying sense of dissatisfaction, as these external rewards 'no me resuelve na’,' or 'don't solve anything' for them.
The song delves into the complexities of fame and fortune, highlighting the superficiality of relationships and the transient nature of material wealth. KHEA and his collaborators express a sense of disillusionment with the trappings of success, as seen in lines like 'Tuve con mi abogada y dos maquilladoras, las tres se enamoraron y las tuve que echar.' This suggests that even though they are surrounded by people and luxuries, these do not bring genuine fulfillment or resolve their deeper issues.
Moreover, 'Tengo 30' also touches on themes of loyalty and camaraderie within the trap community. The artists emphasize their commitment to their roots and their refusal to abandon the trap scene, despite the challenges and temptations they face. This is evident in the repeated assertion, 'seguimo’ acá, no nos salimos del trap,' which translates to 'we're still here, we don't leave the trap.' This line underscores their dedication to their craft and their determination to stay true to themselves and their origins, no matter the cost.
The song's gritty and unapologetic tone, combined with its introspective lyrics, offers a glimpse into the duality of the trap lifestyle—one that is both glamorous and fraught with existential dilemmas. 'Tengo 30' is a testament to the resilience and unyielding spirit of those who navigate this world, constantly striving for more while grappling with the emptiness that often accompanies their success.
