Paloma colora las nubes rosa Con su canto y con su soñar Hija de la noche y la madruga No vuela mas no vuelve a amar Pájaro deja el nido Pasa los domingos en la calle Como la noche crece Del este al oeste Las plumas blancas le van cayendo Como la noche crece Del este al oeste Las plumas blancas le van cayendo Pájaro deja el nido Pasa los domingos en la calle Como la noche crece Del este al oeste Las plumas blancas le van cayendo Como la noche crece Del este al oeste Las plumas blancas le van cayendo Su corazón roto Sangre en la pared No sabe hacer más que beber Se estrena sus alas Y amarra su sed La hija de la Malinche Paloma no vuelve amar Ay paloma no vuelve amar Paloma no vuelve amar Esa paloma no vuelve amar

Me dicen que no puedo me dicen que yo no puedo Me dicen que yo no puedo Me dicen que yo no puedo ooo Le hije del infortunio me encontró un día Caminando por la escena, oscureciendo to sus problemas La sonrisa rompió su cara Y me senti el peso, el gran peso que cargaba Me dio su mano y prometio Que en un año encontráramos En el cielo con las nubes Mi estrella como sube Detras de alle siguieron Unes cuantes con sus sueños Le vieron como profeta Con su gran cargo y certeza Ay me dicen que yo puedo Me convencen que puedo Ay les conviene si juego No ganan si no juego ooo Me desperté en la iglesia de dinero y tradición, De promesa y ilusión, Comedor de corazón Cuantos meses anduve presa Como me metí en el juego Y como me salvaría ahora Escape de una manera Me enfrente con la bandera De una familia sin amor Amistad no conocieron Y en el fin lo que cumplieron Fue atarse con dolor Might feel good But you can’t eat clout Might smell good But you can’t eat clout Might look good But you can’t eat clout No you can’t eat clout No you can’t eat clout Might taste good But you can’t eat clout Might sell good But you can’t eat clout Might feel good But you can’t eat clout No you can’t eat clout No you can’t eat clout Ay me dicen que no puedo Si elles yo no puedo Ayy pero esto es mi juego Siempre gano en mi juego

Loser Girl 02:20
What would it take to get you out my life? Rid myself of so much anxiety and strife Tell me tell me loser girl You hit my phone Texting me from blocked numbers Oh girl Calling me from cutty unders Oh girl Please leave me alone now loser girl I bet you didn’t tell them you sent me A letter so hateful that contained A photo you stole from his wallet And with a pin you had scratched out my face Oh loser girl You’re all alone Ain’t got no one beside you oh girl If it weren’t so sad I’d fight you oh girl But Ima charge it to the game Loser girl What would it take to get you out my life? Rid myself of so much anxiety and strife Tell me loser girl

about

“Can’t Eat Clout” tells the story of a young femme artist falling in love with herself, her lover, and her industry. It maps the rise and descent of these three love stories in an electrifying journey throughout genres, incorporating La Doña’s expertise in Cumbia, Salsa, Oldies and Reggaeton. This dazzling return to her roots as a child musician playing in her father’s large salsa band showcases La Doña’s compositional dexterity as she arranges for and directs a 13 piece live band. The album promotes the amalgam of ancient musical traditions with the contemporary movements of hyphy and reggaeton, showcasing stylistic proclivities never heard before that could only have been birthed from the soil of the Bay Area.
Can’t Eat Clout boasts the contributions of her childhood collaborators and friends Naomi Garcia, Tano Brock, Savannah Harris and Ruben Sandoval, her father, Miguel Govea, producers Adeyemi, and home girl and Bay Area Rapper Tia Nomore.

The album comes accompanied by live sessions produced, directed and led by La Doña, as well as a libretto portraying the intimate story of the EP alongside musical transcriptions by Miguel Govea, illustrated by Suavecita Press’ Alyssa Aviles.

Can’t Eat Clout asserts La Doña’s mastery as a composer and director and presents themes of creative-liberty, anticapitalism, and community resilience. It is being released on San Francisco-based label, Text Me Records in the Fall of 2023.
