After a wildly successful tour across South America in late 2005, the band decided, in their own words, to "stop for a while". Some of their members went on to form side band projects such as No Relax and The Locos. As time went by without further notices, many Ska-P fans feared the band had been gone for good. On late April 2008 and for the rejoice of their worldwide fans, they announced their return as a band on their official site.
Their new album, "Lágrimas y gozos", was released the 7th of October 2008 and its first single is called "Crimen sollicitationis". The band is going to perform various shows around South America and Europe in November and December.

Y una china pal canuto de hachís (hachís)
Saca ya la china, tron, venga ya esa china, tron
Quémame la china tron (no hay chinas)
Saco un papelillo, me preparo un cirgarrillo
Y una china pal canuto de hachís (hachís)
Saca ya la china, tron, venga ya esa china, tron
No hay chinas, no hay chinas hoy
No hay chinas, no hay chinas hoy
Y saco un papelillo, me preparo un cirgarrillo
Y una china pal canuto de hachís (hachís)
Saca ya la china, tron, venga ya esa china, tron
Quémame la china tron (no hay chinas)
Saco un papelillo, me preparo un cirgarrillo

The lyrics to Ska-P's song Cannabis are about the legalization of cannabis. The song opens with the singer rolling a joint and calling for someone to pass the hashish. The repeated refrain of "saca ya la china" reinforces this theme, as it essentially means "pass the cannabis." As the song goes on, the singer talks about how it's difficult to find good quality cannabis in different neighborhoods in Madrid. He mentions running to find his friend Ali to get a hit. The song repeats the call for legalization of cannabis, pushing back against prohibition and calling for weed to be "quality and cheap."
Overall, the lyrics of this song are a commentary on the current state of drug laws, particularly in Spain. Ska-P takes a pro-legalization stance, arguing that cannabis should be readily available and regulated for safety reasons. The lyrics show a sense of community in the shared experience of smoking weed, and the frustration of wanting something that is legally prohibited.
