"Ciclo Vital" ("Life Cycle") starts with Gera MX planning his own funeral, and it is wild. He wants his ashes taken in a bote (here a jar) to the beach, and then, in the line everyone remembers, he tells his clika (crew, from English "clique") to snort a line of his ashes so that "aun muerto mi magia les hechice" (even dead, my magic bewitches them). Over the top? Absolutely. Later he would rather be "comida pa' los sargos" (food for the sea bream fish), thrown into the sea, so his brothers can one day fish him up and he can "close a life cycle". That is where the title comes from.
Under the shock value there is real grief: "enterré a mi padre a los quince" (I buried my father at fifteen), and later he remembers his dead on 2 de noviembre, the Day of the Dead. There are pop culture jokes too: he reached his final form "igual que ese cabrón de Freezer" (just like that bastard Frieza), the Dragon Ball villain, and he chases la pasta (money) "y no te hablo de macarrones" (and I'm not talking about macaroni). The hook says character and respect "no lo enseñan en salones" (aren't taught in classrooms), and that he wanted to be a gangster but saw how they left Al Capone.
