Cómo Le Explico (feat. C.R.O)

Zaramay's song 'Cómo Le Explico,' featuring C.R.O, delves deep into the gritty realities of street life and the harsh truths that come with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where survival often hinges on one's ability to navigate the dangerous waters of the drug trade. The repeated line, '¿Cómo le' explico a todo' estos chamaquito'?' (How do I explain to all these kids?), underscores the difficulty of conveying the complexities and dangers of this lifestyle to the younger generation. The reference to 'diez gramo' de perico' (ten grams of cocaine) highlights the high stakes and the perilous nature of the environment they inhabit.

Zaramay compares his influence and reputation to that of 'El Cangri' in Puerto Rico, a nod to Daddy Yankee, a legendary figure in reggaeton. This comparison not only emphasizes his own status and respect within his community but also ties the song to the broader cultural context of Latin American urban music. The lyrics also touch on themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the constant struggle for power and respect. Lines like 'Los primero' que boquearon son lo' último' que llegan' (The first to talk are the last to arrive) reflect the cutthroat nature of their world, where trust is scarce, and betrayal is common.

The song also explores the duality of Zaramay's life, balancing his past as a drug dealer with his current success in the music industry. This duality is evident in lines like 'Que antes de cantante andaba vendiendo perico' (That before being a singer, I was selling cocaine). The juxtaposition of his past and present highlights the transformative power of music and the possibility of redemption, even for those who have walked a dangerous path. The collaboration with C.R.O adds another layer to the narrative, as both artists share their experiences and perspectives, creating a rich tapestry of stories from the streets.

'Cómo Le Explico' is more than just a song; it's a raw and unfiltered look into the lives of those who live on the edge. It serves as both a cautionary tale and a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who navigate this challenging world. The song's powerful imagery and candid storytelling make it a compelling piece that resonates with listeners who understand the struggles and triumphs of street life.
