Lyrics
Intro – spoken, echo FX
Tourists on the road…
Windows down… music up…
They only hear the chorus.
Verse 1 – in Spanish, smooth flow
Salgo con calma por la ruta del sol,
caravana vieja, pero el tanque full.
Cajas selladas, clima ideal,
los gringos saludan, piensan que es normal.
Gafas oscuras, sonrisa de actor,
pero adentro viajamos con puro dolor.
Cruzo el control con mirada de paz,
ni un perro ladra, no sienten jamás.
Chorus – SHOUTED, only part the English listener understands
COCAINE!
HEROIN!
METH!
FENTANYL!
ECSTASY!
KETAMINE!
(Background: trumpets, nylon guitar, ironically sunny beat)
Tourist waves… I wave back.
They don't speak Spanish.
They just nod to the beat.
Verse 2 – in Spanish, sarcastic tone
Playeras, palmas, selfie en el bar,
ellos bailando… yo listo pa' escapar.
En la cajuela viaja la ley,
pero en el volante, nadie ve.
"Nice van!" — me dicen al pasar,
piensan que voy a acampar.
Pero mi mapa marca un lugar
donde no vuelve quien fue a cobrar…
Chorus – again, louder and more ironic
COCAINE!
HEROIN!
METH!
FENTANYL!
ECSTASY!
KETAMINE!
(Ironic synths, laid-back Latin trap beat continues)
Tourists groove.
I just cruise.
They sing the words…
But don’t have a clue.
Outro – spoken, quietly
You hear the names.
We live the game.
You sing the hook.
We hide the shame.
