Asi Es El Morro is Natanael Cano’s swagger-filled autobiography set to the upbeat pulse of a corrido tumbado. In the lyrics he looks back at the days when he was just a morrillo (kid) walking the barrio barefoot, then fast-forwards to the present where he cruises in a Mustang, pops champagne, and sports Gucci, Fendi, and Louis Vuitton. The song becomes a victory lap: he has traded sidewalks for first-class flights, yet he reminds listeners that the same loyal crew and street-ball spirit travel with him everywhere he goes.
Behind the flashy cars and designer labels sits a lesson about loyalty and authenticity. Cano calls out the “falsos amigos” who only showed up once the money did, stresses respect for those who stayed since day one, and warns that envy and betrayal have no place in his orbit. The result is a lively anthem that celebrates grinding your way up, enjoying the spoils guilt-free, and never forgetting the kid who kicked soccer balls on dusty streets—that’s who the morro still is, just with a bigger cigar and a brighter spotlight.
