Normal Lyrics in English by Gera MX
Encías translates to "gums". It's an unexpected and vivid word to find in a rap song, making it instantly memorable.
Gera MX uses it in the powerful line, "Me sangraron las encías" (My gums bled), to convey the immense struggle and hardship he endured to reach his current success. It's a raw and visceral image that highlights his dedication and the sacrifices he made, making it a compelling choice for a notification.
Gera MX's "Normal" is a powerful look at his journey from humble beginnings to being a top artist in Mexico. He starts by telling us how little he needed to create his art: "A mí me basta una trompeta, un saxo, alguna batería / Para salpicar poesía" [A trumpet, a sax, some drums are enough for me / To sprinkle poetry]. He makes it clear that his success didn't come easy, mentioning "Me sangraron las encías" [My gums bled] to get where he is.
He shares a vivid story of being stopped by federal police in his old Sentra car, a moment where he felt the impact of the streets. But he also shows us how he navigated that situation, hinting at the realities of life in the city: "Pero mostré unos billetes / Y en cortito lo arreglamos" [But I showed some bills / And we quickly sorted it out]. This leads into the chorus, where he explains that in the city, you have to "moverse veloz / O te puede salir mal" [move fast / Or it can go wrong]. He had to be "bien recio" [very tough] to finally be "relax" [relaxed], leaving the competition behind like an ex. It's a blunt and honest take on what it takes to make it, and a celebration of how far he's come.
