Mítico translates to "mythical" or "legendary". It's an intriguing word that suggests something extraordinary and enduring, often associated with stories and legends.
In the song, Milo J says, "Prefiero ser mítico ante' 'e morirme" (I'd rather be mythical before I die). This line reveals a desire for lasting impact and recognition, wanting to leave a legacy that transcends his lifetime rather than just being famous for a short period. It's a powerful statement about ambition and the pursuit of greatness.
Milo J's "1708" throws you right into his world, a raw look at his come-up and the streets that shaped him. He talks about the police, or "UTOI," giving him dirty looks for his hat and broken Air Force 1s, while "negros cabeza salen a cazar merquiau'" [dark-skinned guys go out hunting for drugs] as soon as the sun goes down. It's a vivid picture of his environment, but he's got his sights set higher.
He's all about his music being his escape and his future, declaring, "Dribleo cual Leo, la música va a ser mi empleo" [I dribble like Leo, music is going to be my job]. He's confident, even a bit boastful, about his talent, saying he's already better than established artists even though he's barely 15. Milo J reflects on his past, acknowledging his mistakes but choosing to focus on the good times, aiming to be "mítico ante' 'e morirme" [mythical before I die]. He's focused on his craft, not getting caught up in the fake side of the music business, and he's ready to make his mark.
