Rap Vive Sin Drogas
Las drogas son malas, okey?
Vive Sin Drogas (Live Without Drugs) is a campaign by Mexico broadcaster TV Azteca. In 1999 or 2001 maybe, they aired this PSA with a Spanish rap.
Synopsis[]
The camera pans down to a park where a colorful flower (which resembles the campaign's logo) comes to life and starts dancing and rapping a song.
Lyrics below:
Yo se que eres chiquito y que sabes ver
Que no todas las cosas se pueden creer
Si te ofrecen drogas te van a decir
Que se siente bien padre que te vas a reir
No es cierto, no hagas caso, no es cierto, no es cierto, no hagas caso, no es cierto
Lo que esa gente no te quiere decir, es que si usas drogas te vas a confundir, que hacen daño a tu cuerpo, que envenan tu cuerpo.
Por que vivir sin drogas es vivir mejor
Siempre hay que estar atento bien a tu alrededor
Vive sin drogas, vive sin drogas
Viviendo sin drogas, seras feliz, viviendo sin drogas, se vive sin drogas (Vive sin drogas)
(spoken): Vive sin drogas, fundacion azteca, por un mexico sin drogas.
English translation (may not be precisely accurate):
I know that you are young and that you know how to see
That not all things can be believe
If they offer you drugs they will tell you that it feels cool, you're going to laugh
It's not true, don't listen, it's not true, it's not true, don't listen, it's not true
What these people do not want to tell you is that if you use drugs you will be confused, that they will harm your body, that they will poison your body.
Because living without drugs is living better
You always have to be careful of whats around you
Live without drugs, live without drugs
Living without drugs, you will be happy, living without drugs, living without drugs (Live without drugs)
(spoken): Live without drugs, Aztec Foundation, for a Mexico without drugs.'
Why It's Cursed[]
The drug user in the commercial is terrifying, and the bad (but understandable since CGI was still new at the time) 3D animation makes him and the animation altogether more uncanny.
