FALIDOS (English Translation) Lyrics – Alee

[Intro]
Uh.

[Chorus]
Playboys always throwing fits —
I’ve got a SCAR on me, so yeah, I’m gonna shoot.
Days Before Chaos —
If I lose my temper, I’m taking everyone out.

My gun’s got a hammer — it’s always begging me to fire.
It was just me and my soul‑hunter — Hash is gonna get destroyed.
I have to keep my cool.

Playboys always throwing fits —
I’ve got a SCAR, so I’m gonna shoot.
Days Before Chaos —
If I lose it, I’m killing them all.

[Verse]
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go —
So what’s up, little bro? Just talk.
We’re high on lean.
Bullet, stop — but meanwhile bullets keep flying.
Nothing happened for no reason.

In my bed, she puts on a show — she’s good at it.
Nobody tests strength anymore.
In the glare of a police car,
They spotted a young Black kid — it’s a search.

In the hills, on the asphalt, on the street —
Our Black skin is the cure.
Our Black skin is pure.
Rivals don’t step here —
There’s no one left.

[Chorus repeated]

📖 Lyrics Meaning

This song is a grim, defiant portrait of street life, violence, racial profiling, and the psychological pressure to maintain composure in a chaotic environment. The artist oscillates between explosive rage and the desperate need to “keep cool.”

Key themes:

1. Firearms as extensions of self – “I got a SCAR on me” (a type of rifle) and “my piece has a hammer” personify the weapon as an eager partner, constantly asking to be used. This reflects normalization of gun violence in the speaker’s world.

2. Days Before Chaos – The title and repeated phrase suggest living on the edge of an eruption. Losing his cool means mass violence (“kill them all”), yet he knows he must restrain himself.

3. Paranoia and surveillance – A police car spots “a lil’ black kid” and initiates a search. This captures the reality of racial profiling and the constant threat of law enforcement.

4. Black skin as cure and pure – In a striking reversal, the speaker declares that Black skin is not a liability but a “cure” and “pure.” This is a defiant reclaiming of identity against a system that criminalizes it.

5. Lean and numbness – “We’re high on lean” (a codeine‑based drink) suggests self‑medication to cope with stress. Bullets fly while they’re sedated — a surreal, dangerous contrast.

6. Territoriality – “Rivals don’t jump here / There’s no one left” indicates a controlled, perhaps abandoned, territory. The speaker has already outlasted or eliminated enemies.

7. The soul‑hunter – A cryptic companion (“me and my soul‑hunter”) could refer to a close friend, a weapon, or a dark inner drive. “Hash” (a person or rival) is marked for destruction.
