Recuerdos

MORAD's song 'Recuerdos' delves deep into the gritty realities of street life, offering a raw and unfiltered perspective on the struggles and survival tactics of those living on the margins. The repetition of 'Y dímelo Beny' sets a conversational tone, as if the artist is recounting his experiences directly to a friend or confidant. This personal touch makes the narrative more intimate and relatable, drawing listeners into the world he describes.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life where quick thinking and discretion are essential for survival. MORAD contrasts his current success with his past, noting that he never attended school but still managed to earn more than a teacher. This highlights the unconventional paths some people take to achieve financial stability, often out of necessity rather than choice. The mention of 'guante, capucha y moto' (gloves, hood, and motorcycle) evokes images of a life on the edge, where every action is calculated and survival is paramount.

MORAD also touches on themes of loyalty and betrayal, particularly in the lines about friends turning on each other for money and the police. This underscores the precarious nature of trust in his world, where financial gain can easily lead to treachery. The repeated assertion that 'no son de calle' (they are not from the street) serves as a critique of those who claim to understand or belong to this lifestyle without truly experiencing its hardships. The song ultimately serves as a testament to the harsh lessons learned on the streets, where the only constant is the need to keep moving forward despite the challenges.
