Don Omar Talks About Colombia Lyrics
Don Omar has finally responded to complaints from the Colombian community about his song Sexy Robotica, which talks of cocaine and the country which has worked hard to separate itself from its tough past.
Fonseca, Colombian political leaders, and many Latinos in general felt that Don Omar was wrong to include those lyrics in his song.
DO defends himself in a press release, saying:
“Nunca le he faltado el respeto a ningún colombiano. Faltarle el respeto a los sucesos que ha vivido un pueblo y querer callarlos no se llama progreso, se llama ‘Vergüenza’ de los mismos. Mis respetos a todos los colombianos en el mundo que disfrutan de mi música, de su país, que vivieron su pasado y que trabajan duro para que el futuro sea distinto….pero en libertad, no en hipocresía.”

Estoy completamente de acuerdo con Don Omar, yo siendo mexicana de Chihuahua, donde el narcotrafico esta totalmente dominando este estado, no me ciego de la situacion que estamos viviendo, espero que cambie y porsupuesto miro hacia un futuro prometedor, tal y como los colombianos deberian de hacerlo, en vez de molestarse, es mundialmente conocido colombia por el narcotrafico eso es algo que nadie puede negar.

Drugs are a reality. What people are going to put this man on blast because of what? If one is to judge this man over some damn words then you might want to question society who just sweeps this topic under the rug. We see drugs in our society. And most know where they come from. If not they are in denial!
Don Omar should just keep doing what he is doing because he is not hurting any one but just singing. At the same time this song has been out for how long and taking clubs by storm. That is why there is a video for it. And if one does like it turn it off and watch something else. It is your right.
