Ultimo round

Rasta Chala's song "Ultimo round" is a powerful commentary on the state of freedom and justice in society. The lyrics begin with the artist's intention to write about unspoken truths, aiming to create a song that resonates with everyone. The song contrasts the superficial freedom and justice often discussed in media with the genuine versions that are rarely addressed. The repeated plea for the listener to help shout these truths underscores the urgency and collective effort needed to bring about real change.

The metaphor of a boxing match is central to the song, symbolizing the struggle for true freedom. The imagery of neighborhoods and homes being fenced in, and the soul of man being trapped, paints a vivid picture of societal constraints. The line "La libertad cae malherida en el ultimo round" (Freedom falls badly wounded in the last round) suggests that the fight for freedom is nearing its end, with freedom itself on the brink of defeat. The devil celebrating and an angel throwing in the towel further emphasize the dire situation, where life itself is knocked out in the final round.

The song also tackles the hypocrisy in the justice system. It criticizes the harsh punishments meted out to petty criminals while those who steal from the public daily are often celebrated or ignored. The lyrics highlight the disparity between the justice demanded for personal theft versus the leniency shown to corrupt leaders. The reference to divine justice being deaf to cries for help adds a layer of spiritual disillusionment. The song ends on a hopeful note, urging people to rise and fight, especially for those who cannot fight for themselves. This call to action is a reminder that everyone has a role in the struggle for true freedom and justice.
