Prieto Beretta

“Prieto Beretta” by Guerrilla Seca is a raw and unfiltered narrative of the artist's life, filled with hardship, resilience, and a relentless fight against the odds. The song opens with a declaration of defiance and a dedication to those who doubted the artist. This sets the tone for a story of survival and determination in the face of adversity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life influenced by crime and poverty, where the artist had to navigate a world filled with violence and betrayal.

The song delves into the artist's upbringing, marked by a lack of parental support and the harsh realities of growing up in a tough environment. The references to being advised by serial killers and the absence of gifts from Santa Claus highlight the stark contrast between the artist's life and the idealized childhood many experience. The mention of Escobar's son and the desire to have what he had underscores the deep-seated feelings of envy and the lengths the artist was willing to go to achieve a better life.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the artist's journey is not just about survival but also about self-respect and redemption. The shift from engaging in illegal activities to focusing on music and writing signifies a turning point. The artist's realization that money controls consciousness and the emotional weight of writing the song, evidenced by tears falling on the paper, add a layer of vulnerability and authenticity. The closing lines emphasize the artist's commitment to music for its own sake, rather than for financial gain, and a hope for eventual reconciliation and forgiveness.
