Dispuestos a Morir (feat. C.R.O y Homer El Mero Mero)
Natos y Waor
The Struggle and Resilience of the Streets
“Dispuestos a Morir” by Natos y Waor, featuring C.R.O and Homer El Mero Mero, is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of life in the streets, capturing the essence of struggle, loyalty, and resilience. The song opens with C.R.O reflecting on his journey, feeling lost and embraced by the harsh realities of his neighborhood. The repeated line, “Desde entonces que mis chicos van dispuestos a morir” (Since then, my boys are ready to die), underscores a sense of fatalism and readiness to face whatever comes their way, a common sentiment in environments where survival is a daily battle.
Natos’ verse delves into themes of respect, pride, and disillusionment. He rejects superficial charity and emphasizes self-reliance, even if it means enduring hunger. His lines, “Las piedra' que tiras un día serán tu lápida” (The stones you throw will one day be your tombstone), highlight the poetic justice and inevitable consequences of one’s actions. This verse also touches on the loss of faith in humanity and the chaotic environment that has become his habitat, painting a vivid picture of the internal and external conflicts faced by those living in marginalized communities.
Homer El Mero Mero’s contribution adds another layer to the narrative, discussing betrayal, the impact of harsh words, and the feeling of being out of place. His mention of red eyes from weed rather than tears suggests a coping mechanism for the pain and stress of street life. Waor’s verse continues this theme of resilience and defiance, boasting about their independence and success despite the odds. The song as a whole is a testament to the strength and solidarity found in the streets, where loyalty and readiness to face danger are paramount.
The recurring chorus by C.R.O, “Estoy jodiéndome, de nada sirve un plan B” (I’m screwing myself, a plan B is useless), encapsulates the sense of inevitability and the relentless pursuit of power and respect, even at great personal cost. The song is a powerful reflection on the harsh realities of street life, the bonds formed in adversity, and the unyielding spirit of those who navigate this world daily.
