Como Perros
Akwid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lo dicen como si... es malo o algo
yo nunca he visto un perro awitado wey
The lyrics to Akwid's song Como Perros explore the negative connotation often associated with being called a "dog" in Mexican culture. The singer begins by stating that it doesn't bother him to be called a "perro" (dog), but rather the way in which it is said that makes it seem bad or negative. He argues that he has never seen a dog that appeared bothered by being called a dog, indicating that the perception of being called a "perro" is solely a human construct.
The song goes on to delve into the idea that being called a "dog" is often used as an insult, particularly among men who use it to degrade or belittle each other. The singer questions why this is the case and suggests that perhaps there is a deeper issue at play, such as societal expectations of masculinity and toughness. Ultimately, the song challenges listeners to question their own language and the ways in which it may contribute to harmful stereotypes or negative perceptions of others.

Si tu kieres hacer cosas malas
Conmigo en mi cama solo llamame
Para que te de lo que kieres
Pero si tu kiers que te ruegue
No va suceder
Por que yo no le ruego a nadie
