De Trote (feat. Pipe Bega)

In 'De Trote,' Kiño Parchao, featuring Pipe Bega, delves into the theme of seeking relief from anxiety and stress through the use of marijuana. The song opens with the artist describing physical symptoms of anxiety, such as sweating and a racing heart, which he attributes to the pressures of daily life. The metaphor of 'cabalgar' (to ride) suggests a restless mind that needs to be tamed. The artist's plea to a doctor for a prescription highlights the struggle for legal access to marijuana, which he believes could alleviate his symptoms more effectively than traditional medications.

The chorus emphasizes the need for 'una dosis de calma' (a dose of calm), something that can inspire and uplift the artist, providing a sense of peace and relaxation. This sentiment is echoed in the verses, where Kiño Parchao describes his morning routine and the challenges of dealing with insomnia and irritability. The reference to 'hora pico en transmilenio' (rush hour in TransMilenio) paints a vivid picture of the suffocating stress he experiences, further justifying his need for a calming remedy.

As the song progresses, the artist's desire for marijuana becomes more pronounced. He describes the ritual of smoking and the sense of community it brings, whether in diverse gatherings, family parties, or vacations. The lyrics also touch on the scarcity and legal challenges of obtaining marijuana, adding a layer of frustration to the artist's quest for relaxation. The playful banter towards the end of the song, with lines like 'No la trajo?' (Didn't you bring it?), adds a touch of humor, reflecting the camaraderie and shared experiences within the cannabis culture. Ultimately, 'De Trote' is a candid exploration of the search for mental peace and the role of marijuana in achieving it.
