La Recia
Voz De Mando Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se tercio un cuerno de chivo
También se fajo su escuadra
Se subió a su camioneta
Por cierto que esta blindada
Con el lleva una bazooka
Y un rifle lanza granadas

Tres hombres suben con el

Y un hembra bien ajuariada
Su seguridad se pone
Sus chalecos antibalas
Todos vestidos de negro
Con ropa camuflajeada

Otros quince pistoleros
Van en suburban blindadas
También vestidos de negro
Con la cara encapuchada
Para comenzar la recia
Ya tienen la retirada

Con rumbo desconocido
Muchos los vieron pasar
Tomaron la carretera
Pa' fuera de la ciudad
La gente al ver el comando
Piensan que es la federal

Se volvió a soltar el perro
Muy bravo y quiere morder
Anda buscando enemigos
Pronto lo van a saber
I van a pagar el precio
Cuando se topen con el

Si quieren saber la historia
Prendan la televisión
Según ya hay varios rivales
Fuera de circulación

Y va a continuar la recia
Por que esta gente es de acción

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Voz De Mando's song La Recia depict a dangerous and intense scenario where a heavily-armed group of individuals, including the singer, prepare to engage in conflict. The first verse describes how the singer loads his weapons of choice, including a bazooka and grenade launcher, and wears a bulletproof vest to ensure his safety. He also mentions that three men and a well-dressed woman accompany him as his security team, all dressed in black with camouflage clothing. The second verse talks about the other fifteen armed men that are with them, also dressed in black and wearing masks to conceal their identities. They take to the road and leave the city behind, with the people thinking that they are federal agents. The final lines indicate that they are on the hunt for their enemies and that their violent actions will continue.

The lyrics of La Recia are a reflection of the violence and danger that have become a part of Mexico's ongoing drug war. The common use of weapons, bulletproof vests, and surveillance techniques by the singer and his crew acts as a reminder of the ruthlessness that accompanies this kind of conflict. The lyrics suggest that the characters see themselves as the 'good guys,' but their behavior is hardly different from that of the rival drug cartels. The song reinforces the idea that this cycle of violence and revenge is self-sustaining and will continue as long as drugs remain a profitable industry.
