Perico literally translates to "parrot", but in this song, it's used as a slang term for cocaine. This double meaning makes it an interesting and somewhat provocative word choice.
Neto Reyno uses it to paint a raw picture of his lifestyle, singing "Dicen que soy un borracho ingrid fue Perico" (They say I'm a drunk, Ingrid was cocaine). This shows how the word is used to describe a part of his reality, making it a memorable and impactful word in the context of the lyrics.
Neto Reyno and Richard Ahumada's "Dicen Que Soy" is a defiant anthem where the artists confront rumors and criticisms head-on. They're aware of what people say about them: "Dicen que soy un borracho, ingrid, fui perico" [They say I'm a drunk, Ingrid, I was a drug addict], and that they're seen as not worth much. But instead of letting it get to them, they embrace it, declaring, "soy hombre y soy rico, soy un demonio que le prende fuego al piso" [I'm a man and I'm rich, I'm a demon who sets the floor on fire].
This song is all about living life on your own terms, despite what others might think. They talk about enjoying the good life, whether it's "borracho en el callejón con mi muchacho" [drunk in the alley with my boy] or just living for today because "la vida es muy corta por eso la viva diario" [life is too short, that's why I live it daily]. It's a powerful statement about identity, loyalty to their neighborhood, and staying true to themselves, no matter the gossip.
