En Corto (part. Chino Pacas)

Natanael Cano's 'En Corto' featuring Chino Pacas is a song that delves into the themes of success, the drug trade, and the lavish lifestyle that comes with it. The lyrics are a braggadocious account of Cano's rise from humble beginnings to a life of wealth and excess. The song's title, 'En Corto,' which translates to 'In Short' or 'Straight Up,' suggests a direct and unapologetic approach to discussing these topics.

The lyrics mention 'motita,' a colloquial term for marijuana, indicating the artist's involvement in the drug scene. Cano talks about his growth, both in terms of his career and his financial status, with references to 'aumenta los ceros' (increasing the zeros) and 'varios tratos en el extranjero' (various deals abroad). The song also touches on the artist's personal indulgences and the enjoyment of his newfound wealth, as seen in lines like 'Ya últimamente como lo que quiero' (Lately I eat whatever I want).

Despite the celebratory tone, there's an underlying acknowledgment of the risks and the hustle required to reach this level of success. Cano mentions 'Desde morrillo me gustó el refuego' (Since I was a kid, I liked the action), suggesting a long-standing familiarity with a dangerous lifestyle. The song is a reflection of the narco-culture that is prevalent in parts of Mexico and has influenced the regional music scene, particularly the subgenre known as 'corridos tumbados' or 'trap corridos,' which Cano is known for.
