J.T.R.B.

Resorte's song 'JTRB' is a raw and powerful commentary on the struggles faced by Mexican immigrants, particularly those who cross the border into the United States. The lyrics are a stark portrayal of the harsh realities and systemic oppression that these individuals endure. The opening lines, 'Pa' comer yo need some money / Need that you pinche gringo / Ya me dejes en paz,' immediately set the tone, highlighting the economic desperation and the antagonistic relationship with those in power, referred to derogatorily as 'gringo.'

The song vividly describes the violence and repression faced by immigrants, with lines like 'Eran 1 big 2 big 3 big policemen / Que a chingadazos te abaratan te reprimen,' painting a picture of police brutality. The repetition of 'no money, no funny no gringo no rights' underscores the lack of basic human rights and the dehumanizing conditions that immigrants often face. The lyrics 'Mi gente, tu gente no son diferentes / Luchan por comida y un trato decente' emphasize the shared humanity and common struggles of people on both sides of the border, advocating for empathy and solidarity.

The song also addresses the derogatory terms and racial slurs used against Mexican immigrants, such as 'beaner' and 'frijolero,' and the psychological impact of such discrimination. The lines 'Walls of pain from a far away war / Callado mojado, espera sentado' reflect the emotional and physical barriers that immigrants encounter. The mention of 'san juan soldado' serves as a reminder of the cultural and spiritual support that sustains them. The closing lines, 'Muerte, muerte se respira mala suerte / Mojado naciste, mojado serás / Fuck u mexicano and never come back,' convey a sense of fatalism and the persistent hostility faced by immigrants, yet also a defiant resistance against such oppression.
