The Harsh Realities of Street Life in 'Por Unos Centavos'

Tornillo's song 'Por Unos Centavos,' featuring Doom Deca, delves deep into the gritty and often perilous realities of street life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where loyalty is scarce, and betrayal is common. Tornillo begins by calling out the false bravado of those who claim to be loyal to their neighborhoods but are, in reality, 'falsos pandilleros' or fake gangsters. He emphasizes that his commitment to his lifestyle is unwavering, driven by a code of honor that transcends love and money.

The song also touches on the omnipresence of drugs and the constant threat of violence. Tornillo describes how 'droga fina' or fine drugs are a part of his daily life, and he remains unphased by the 'voces en el callejón' or voices in the alley. This imagery highlights the ever-present danger and the need to stay alert. The chorus reinforces the idea that in the streets, many people are not genuine, and for a few cents, they would betray you, leading to your demise. This sentiment is echoed throughout the song, emphasizing the treacherous nature of envy and hypocrisy.

Tornillo also expresses his disdain for mainstream media and social networks, suggesting that they contribute to a false sense of reality. He advises caution in choosing friends, as betrayal often comes from the least expected sources. The song's tone is one of resilience and defiance, with Tornillo declaring that he enjoys his life despite its challenges. He acknowledges the constant presence of danger but remains undeterred, embodying the spirit of a true 'bandolero' or outlaw. The repeated refrain about the dangers of envy and betrayal serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by those living in the streets.
