AGUA Lyrics (English Translation) – Myke Towers

AGUA (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, Chocoleyrol expresses confusion about the people around him, stating that they look alike. He then calls out to someone named “Choco” and shouts “water” multiple times. This could be a playful or ironic moment, where “water” represents something that these people might be desperately seeking in a tough environment, possibly relief or a way to cool down in the chaos of the streets.

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Myke Towers paints a picture of the harsh world he’s part of, filled with references to drügs like molly, grimace (a facial expression, possibly indicating pain or struggle), and the mafia lifestyle. He mentions the “groti” (likely street bosses or drug dealers) who control the area and the “lleca” (possibly referring to drug spots or environments). Myke shows indifference to the activities of others, suggesting that he doesn’t care what they get into, but he mentions someone who’s asking for “water” because their throat is dry. This could symbolize either physical thirst or a deeper desire for escape or relief from the dangerous world they’re caught in.

[Verse 2]
Chocoleyrol continues by describing the chaotic atmosphere in his neighborhood. He talks about “raids” and how people who enter his environment often act foolish or don’t even accept bribes. There’s a power shift as the “bosses” change, making the block a “hotspot,” or an increasingly dangerous place. He mentions how people who snorted drügs left with “two hundred grams of decoration,” suggesting that the drügs are the “decoration” of their lives. In this environment, it’s not just about surviving; it’s about who controls the flow of drügs, which is why people line up for the “recipe” (likely drügs or connections). He also refers to a “parrot,” which could be slang for someone who gets caught up in the game, and talks about the dangerous practices in the street, drawing comparisons to the market prices for drügs.

[Chorus]
The chorus is repetitive, with the phrase “they turned a couple of babies, they shouted ‘water.'” The “babies” could be new recruits or young individuals who get caught up in the lifestyle and begin to experience the harsh realities. “Water” might represent a desire for something to calm them down, or perhaps it’s a term for dealing with the intensity of the street life. The repetition of “water” emphasizes the constant cycle of seeking relief and the overwhelming nature of the lifestyle. The line “they snore in the street and they’re not from Nagua” suggests that people from all walks of life are getting involved in this chaotic, street-based world, not just those from one particular place.

[Post-Chorus]
In the post-chorus, Chocoleyrol drops his backpack and grabs an umbrella. This could be symbolic of shifting focus—he’s leaving one state of mind behind (perhaps the weight of the world, symbolized by the backpack) and preparing to face the next challenge, which is represented by the umbrella. The umbrella could be a shield or protection from the chaos around him.

[Verse 3]
In this verse, Myke Towers speaks confidently about his position in the street game. He mentions his big presence in the Bronx, referencing JLo (Jennifer Lopez) as a metaphor for his own “big ass” status. He claims connections to powerful figures like bosses and jewelers, highlighting his deep involvement in the underground world. The meth he talks about is compared to ice, indicating that it’s pure and valuable. He further mentions how drug users are the ones filling his pockets, showing that his wealth is built from this dangerous trade. Myke asserts that when he arrives in his neighborhood, things come to life—people turn up and get energized, not wanting him to leave. He talks about how the “leathers” (possibly referring to other tough or loyal figures) are missing him, suggesting his influence. Myke refers to “Mariano Rivera,” a legendary baseball player from the Dominican Republic, to emphasize that he is in a place where poison (drügs) circulates, and life is lived dangerously.

[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated, reinforcing the idea of people getting caught up in the cycle of street life, drug use, and the need for “water” to cope. It’s clear that the environment they’re in is harsh, and the mention of “snoring in the street” suggests the disorienting effect of drügs on these individuals. Myke and Chocoleyrol reinforce the idea that this world isn’t just exclusive to certain places—it’s widespread.

[Verse 4]
In the fourth verse, Chocoleyrol gives some advice about survival in this dangerous world. He warns not to trust anyone, as betrayal and violence are always looming. He mentions that enemies will strike when you least expect it, and they don’t care about loyalty or friendship. He describes brutal people who use bullets to settle scores, leaving no trace or remorse behind. Chocoleyrol talks about hitting someone early in the morning and how the sound of the gun (referencing a .38) is a normal part of life in his world. He mentions how dangerous these streets are, where even the simplest things—like cigarette packs and televisions—can be stolen. The verse highlights the constant fear and violence in this environment, where survival is a daily struggle.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats again, further emphasizing the chaos and violence that surrounds them. The mention of “snoring in the street” and “they’re not from Nagua” suggests that people from all over are getting involved in this street life, regardless of where they come from, and they are increasingly immersed in the drügs and violence around them.

[Outro]
In the outro, Myke Towers names himself and gives shoutouts to Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and his crew, including Chocoleyrol. He proudly declares his influence in the music world, especially in the dembow genre, which is popular in both Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The mention of “Young Kingz” emphasizes his position as a leader and someone who’s made it big in the industry. It’s a celebratory moment, showcasing his accomplishments and the recognition he’s earned in the music scene. The outro gives a sense of pride in his roots and achievements, reinforcing his dominance and respect in the industry.
