Corre

Simpson Ahuevo's song 'Corre' is a powerful commentary on police corruption and the systemic abuse of power in Mexico. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the daily harassment and discrimination faced by ordinary citizens, particularly those who are marginalized or stereotyped based on their appearance. The protagonist of the song is stopped by the police, questioned, and treated with suspicion simply because of his looks and attire. This interaction highlights the prejudices and assumptions that law enforcement officers often make, leading to unjust treatment and a sense of helplessness among the populace.

The recurring imagery of 'luces azules y rojas' (blue and red lights) symbolizes the omnipresent threat of police intervention. These lights, which are supposed to represent safety and protection, instead become a source of fear and anxiety. The chorus advises listeners to run when they see these lights, as the police are more likely to rob them than protect them. This stark reversal of the expected role of law enforcement underscores the deep mistrust and resentment that many people feel towards the police.

Simpson Ahuevo also touches on the broader implications of this corruption, suggesting that the police are more interested in exploiting vulnerable individuals for money than in addressing real crimes. The lyrics criticize the police for targeting easy victims rather than pursuing serious criminals, such as kidnappers and abusers. This critique extends to the entire system, portraying it as one that prioritizes profit over justice and protection. The song calls for awareness and resistance, urging people to recognize the true nature of those who claim to serve and protect them.
