Broly Lyrics in English by Eladio Carrion, Neutro Shorty
Balacera translates to "gunfight" or "shootout." It's a vivid and intense word that immediately sets a dramatic tone.
In the song, Eladio Carrion uses it to describe an impending violent confrontation, warning, "cuando comience esa balacera" (when that shootout begins). This word is particularly enticing because it's less common than everyday terms and directly reflects the gritty, street-oriented narrative often found in trap music, making it memorable and impactful.
"Broly" is a flex assembled almost entirely out of pop-culture callouts. Eladio Carrión opens by casting himself as a lone master — "Elegido como Obi-Wan Kenobi" ("Chosen like Obi-Wan Kenobi") — and then draws a hard line between the people who were there and the ones showing up now: "No me digas brother tú no eres' mi homie" ("Don't tell me, brother, you're not my homie"). The proof arrives as brand names and box scores, from "Yo estoy balling me siento Manu Ginóbili" ("I'm balling, I feel like Manu Ginóbili") to the before-and-after of "Antes era Chef Boyardee ravioli / Ahora tengo una casa en dos Rollie'" ("I used to be Chef Boyardee ravioli / Now I have a house and two Rollies"), with the English hook "You know me" holding the whole thing together.
Neutro Shorty's verse trades the comedy for menace. He counts the red on a pair of soles against the red of blood — "Mira la suela roja de los Louboutin / Corre tu sangre roja y te vas a morir" ("Look at the red sole of the Louboutins / Your red blood runs and you're gonna die") — and stays watchful even while celebrating: "los ojos en la nuca / Porque los sapos andan cerca" ("eyes in the back of my head / Because the snitches are close"). He closes by telling an enemy's mother to buy "un rosario" ("a rosary") and "una caja de vela'" ("a box of candles"), then signs the threat with a name he expects to be recognised: "soy la cabra de Venezuela" ("I'm the GOAT from Venezuela").
