Calabozo is a striking and somewhat old-fashioned word for a dungeon or a dark, isolated jail cell. It's more evocative and dramatic than the common word cárcel (jail), making it stand out in the song.
Morad uses it to paint a vivid picture of the harsh consequences of street life, singing "Si te cogen los brazos, acaba en calabozo" (If they grab your arms, you end up in a jail cell). This line powerfully captures the constant risk and tension present in the narrative, making the word a memorable gateway into the song's gritty reality.
Morad kicks off "Normal" by telling us exactly how he feels about the police: "Odio a los azules, también los picolos" [I hate the blues (police), also the picolos (civil guard)]. He says this is just a normal feeling where he's from. The song describes a life shaped by poverty, where kids as young as 17 risk their lives at sea just "Para darle a su mamá comida y mesa" [To give their mom food and a table]. He has no time for people who act like gangsters on social media, calling them out for being all talk.
He paints a picture of his neighborhood, Hospitalet, as a place where you have to be tough to survive. He talks about running from the police and getting scratches, and how some people get a big ego from a short prison stay while others do serious time and stay humble. The second half of the song shifts into a long, freestyle-like list of contradictions that make up his life: "A veces estoy en busca y a veces estoy en blanco" [Sometimes I'm searching and sometimes I'm blank]. He's talking about the ups and downs of his reality, from needing money to making music, from being alone to being with his crew. It's a blunt look at his world, where this difficult life is simply... normal.
