El Neyer

Natanael Cano's song 'El Neyer' is a powerful anthem of self-assertion and resilience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young man, Neyer, who is determined to rise above his circumstances and make a name for himself. The phrase 'Levantando el vuelo voy' (I'm taking flight) symbolizes his ambition and drive to succeed. Neyer is surrounded by loyal friends and family, who are always on alert to protect him from any threats, emphasizing the importance of loyalty and trust in his life. The song also highlights his disdain for betrayal and envy, as he confidently states that envious people 'pelan verga' (don't matter to him).

Neyer is portrayed as a hardworking individual who is always thinking about how to make money ('pensando en como ganar feria'). He takes pride in his work and insists on doing things the right way ('el trabajo aquí es derecho y es la neta'). His tattoos are a significant part of his identity, symbolizing his experiences and values. The line 'mis tatuajes marcan lo que soy' (my tattoos mark who I am) suggests that his body art is a testament to his journey and struggles. Neyer also enjoys the finer things in life, such as diamonds and beautiful women, which he uses to distinguish himself wherever he goes.

The song also touches on Neyer's background, growing up graffitiing walls ('grafiteando bardas creci yo') and now finding himself in a place he always wanted to be. Despite facing envy and challenges, he remains focused on his goals and uses his tattoos and diamonds as symbols of his success and resilience. The recurring theme of loyalty, hard work, and self-expression through tattoos and graffiti underscores the cultural significance of these elements in Neyer's life and the broader context of urban youth culture.
