Tu Bendición

In 'Tu Bendición,' Tornillo paints a vivid picture of life in a turbulent neighborhood, where survival and loyalty are paramount. The song opens with the artist seeking a blessing before stepping out into the streets, highlighting the constant danger and uncertainty that pervades his environment. This blessing serves as a protective shield, a spiritual safeguard against the chaos that surrounds him. The repeated mention of 'mi flota' (my crew) underscores the importance of camaraderie and collective mission, even as the unity within the neighborhood has disintegrated.

Tornillo delves into his personal history, reflecting on his upbringing and the influences that shaped him. He mentions the 'humo de la mota' (marijuana smoke) and his 'cuerpo tatuado' (tattooed body), symbols of his identity and the culture he is part of. The duality of his heritage is evident as he speaks of inheriting both the toughness of his father and the humility of his mother. This blend of traits equips him to navigate the harsh realities of his world, where violence and death are ever-present threats.

The song also touches on the sense of disillusionment and the search for direction in a 'mundo perdido' (lost world). Tornillo's frustration is palpable as he describes unanswered calls and the lack of tranquility in his surroundings. The imagery of 'caras tapadas' (covered faces) and 'trampa de humo' (smoke trap) evokes a sense of anonymity and entrapment, further emphasizing the struggles faced by those in his community. Despite these challenges, there is a resilient spirit that drives him and his crew to keep pushing forward, motivated even by negative comments and adversity.
