It's Really True

Los Del Puerto's song "It's Really True" is a raw and unapologetic declaration of authenticity and success. The lyrics are a direct address to those who imitate and envy the artist's lifestyle and achievements. The song opens with a confident assertion that the artists are living the life they sing about, setting the tone for a narrative that is both confrontational and self-assured. The use of colloquial language and slang adds to the authenticity, making it clear that the artists are speaking from personal experience and not just creating a fictional narrative.

The song's verses are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors that highlight the disparity between the artists and their imitators. Lines like "Te lo voy a poner fácil pinche morrito llorón" and "Ya no andes de copión ponte a buscar tu estilo" emphasize the frustration with those who copy without understanding the hard work and originality behind the success. The artists also touch on themes of loyalty and betrayal, as seen in the lines "Yo repaso el cheque con mi gente no como otros" and "Sigue manteniendo mi nombre en tu puta boca." These lines suggest a deep sense of camaraderie and a disdain for those who only seek personal gain.

Cultural references are abundant throughout the song, from the mention of specific locations like Texas to the use of Spanish slang and idioms. This not only grounds the song in a specific cultural context but also makes it relatable to a particular audience. The repeated assertion of truth and reality, as in "Yeah, it's true, it's really fucking true," serves as a powerful refrain that reinforces the song's central message: the artists are genuine, and their success is well-deserved. The song ends on a triumphant note, celebrating their victories and dismissing the haters with a sense of finality.
