Venimos De La Calle

Toser One's song "Venimos De La Calle" is a raw and unapologetic portrayal of life in the streets. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the daily struggles and the sense of community among those who live in marginalized neighborhoods. The repeated lines, "Venimos de la calle, somos de los Reales" (We come from the streets, we are the Real ones), emphasize a strong sense of identity and pride in their origins, despite being judged as criminals by society. This judgment is a recurring theme, highlighting the stigma and prejudice faced by people from these backgrounds.

The song delves into the camaraderie and loyalty among the people in the neighborhood. Toser One describes himself as a "tripulante de rimas, un traficante" (a crew member of rhymes, a trafficker), using metaphors to convey his role in the community and his dedication to his craft. The lyrics also touch on the harsh realities of street life, where trust is scarce, and survival often depends on being tough and resilient. The mention of smoking "la de los matorrales" (the one from the bushes) and the casual references to drug use reflect the coping mechanisms and the environment in which they live.

Despite the challenges, there is a sense of joy and celebration in the song. The lines about partying from Thursday to Sunday and the camaraderie among friends show that they find ways to enjoy life and support each other. Toser One's pride in his Mexican heritage and his determination to rise above adversity are evident throughout the song. The lyrics, "Lo bueno nunca es fácil y lo fácil nunca es bueno" (The good is never easy, and the easy is never good), echo the wisdom passed down from his father, reinforcing the theme of resilience and self-reliance.
