Así Es Mi Cártel

The song "Así Es Mi Cártel" by Traviezoz De La Zierra delves into the harsh and often glorified life within a drug cartel. The lyrics, sung in Spanish, provide a narrative that seems to come from the perspective of a cartel member who is deeply entrenched in the lifestyle and operations of the cartel. The song opens with a declaration of a willingness to die fighting, much like soldiers in a war, which immediately sets a tone of violence and dedication to a cause that is outside the law. The mention of breaking chains and fighting for a cause suggests a perceived sense of righteousness or liberation in their actions.

The song continues to describe the structure and operations of the cartel, with young people waiting for orders and a strict hierarchy that does not tolerate disrespect. The lyrics also hint at the consequences of crossing the cartel, with references to people who have disappeared for being too curious. This paints a picture of a dangerous and unforgiving environment where loyalty is paramount and betrayal is met with severe punishment. The use of numbers like 'diez' (ten) and '58' could be references to codes or specific individuals within the cartel hierarchy.

The final verses of the song reinforce the theme of loyalty and the brutal reality of cartel violence. The narrator speaks of not flinching when killing, suggesting a desensitization to violence, and the use of intelligence to plan perfect operations. The song ends by reiterating the title, 'Así es mi cártel,' which translates to 'This is my cartel,' emphasizing a sense of pride and identity within the criminal organization. The song provides a window into the mindset of those involved in cartels, where violence, power, and loyalty are central themes.
