Piloto Cannabis
Los Obreros Del Norte
The High-Flying Life of a Cannabis Enthusiast
The song "Piloto Cannabis" by Los Obreros Del Norte is a vivid narrative that delves into the life and experiences of a person deeply involved with cannabis, both in consumption and possibly in trafficking. The lyrics are rich with references to drug culture and the euphoria associated with marijuana use. The artist uses the metaphor of flying, piloting, and different strains of cannabis to describe the sensation of being high and the lifestyle that accompanies it.
The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the protagonist admitting to being 'grifo' (a slang term for high) and enjoying the thrill of 'walking in the fire.' The use of 'cerebro de acero' (brain of steel) suggests a sense of invincibility or detachment from the worries that might plague an ordinary person. As the song progresses, the narrator recounts his early experiences with cannabis and how it has become a significant part of his identity, referring to himself as a 'Piloto Cannabis' (Cannabis Pilot).
The various strains of cannabis mentioned throughout the song, such as 'kronic,' 'acapulco gold,' 'kush,' and 'purple power,' serve as a way to describe different experiences and sensations associated with their use. The song also hints at the risks and the underground nature of the cannabis culture, with mentions of 'transbordes' (transshipments) and the thrill of 'breaking the air with style.' The casual tone and the detailed descriptions of the effects of each strain reflect a celebration of the cannabis lifestyle, despite the potential legal and social consequences.
