Imagine gathering with your lifelong friends on a worn-out neighborhood corner, sharing cheap drinks, swapping dreams of escape, and railing against a system that never gave you a fair shot. “Mis Colegas” paints that raw snapshot. Ska-P, Spain’s loud-and-proud ska-punk crew, looks back after ten years and finds many companions lost to prison, precarious jobs, or heroin’s fatal grip. The chorus throws a fist in the air, spitting at a society that blames the poor for their own struggle while profiting from prohibition.
Yet the song isn’t just mourning; it’s a punk manifesto. Between pounding horns and rebellious shouts, Ska-P calls for unity, legalization of drugs, and relentless defiance: “Escúpele al sistema y nunca dejes de molestar.” The message is clear—your inequality is not destiny. Stand together, fight back, and refuse to let the streets, the state, or addiction turn you into “ratas de ciudad.”
