Jon Eric - Chupacabra

Chupacabra chupa, chupacabra [repeat throughout as ostinato]

He takes kids

You better huddle your family close, ‘mano
Calamity flows, autocrat scrambles for those bravos
No boogeyman can hold a candle to man
When you dance through the shadow he casts on the land
It’s a failure of the Forum, decorum can’t adjudicate
He doesn’t understand “¡Ayúdame!”
So watch your six in the pueblos, the campos, the skids
Goat sucker, motherfucker takes kids

He takes kids
¡Ayúdame!
He takes kids
¡Ayúdame!

A ding-a-ling, counterfeit cannibal king
Only acts like he's happy when you're kissing the ring
The jerk lurks in the shadows, he works in the gray
He circles the night sky and tells you it’s day
Percolate a narrative and hope it’ll play
But the quirks of his ego won’t permit him to say
The G.O.A.T. of unbridled ids
Goat sucker, motherfucker takes kids

He takes kids
¡Ayúdame!
He takes kids
¡Ayúdame!

He takes kids
He takes kids

Bonus points to you for doing something super different this time around. The ostinato vocal is a cool way to add rhythm within the limitations of the challenge. I like the slide guitar. The "ayudame" vocal is mixed a bit hot, maybe. Clever take on the challenge, lyrically--I like your concept a lot. I’m not super into the execution of the rap, although I liked some of the lines, like “The G.O.A.T. of unbridled ids.” The chorus feels too sparse and the surface level meaning a bit too simplistic (I also keep thinking of the theme song for the “Beat Kids” segment of Wonder Showzen, which doesn’t help) and I think the execution is technically fine but I have a hard time buying into the tough-guy delivery.
