Snow Tha Product has established herself as one of the most powerful voices in Latin rap. Beyond the global recognition she gained from her collaboration on the BZRP Music Session, the Mexican-American artist also has impactful songs like TE ALEJASTE, Frijolero, Que Oso, and Oh My Shit Freestyle.
Her latest release, SÁBADO, dropped in August 2025 and continues to spark conversation months later due to its sharp critique of Latino families who vote for Trump.
With a sarcastic and biting style, Snow captures the paradox of someone in her own Mexican-American family voting for a president known for his anti-immigrant policies and hostile remarks towards the Latino community, especially Mexicans.
Meaning and References in ‘SÁBADO’
The song opens with the line: «Antes de que empiece la fiesta, quiero que se sepa, que uno de nosotros votó por Trump» («Before the party starts, I want it to be known that one of us voted for Trump), set to a musical base with rancherainfluences that gradually picks up pace, reflecting the growing tension at a family gathering when a sensitive topic comes up.
Snow adds: «I don’t know who it was, but the envelope arrived with the last name, but no first name,» showing how, even if no one openly admits it, the Trump vote still exists among those most affected by his policies.
The song is full of Mexican expressions Snow uses to satirize the situation. For example, «la tía con los pelos de elote,» describes an aunt with dry, rough hair resembling a corn cob. She also mentions «el primo traumado con ser americano, cara de paisa,» referring to a family member who, despite Mexican roots, has a complex about being from North America.
There’s also “vato mamón”, which in Mexico is used to call someone arrogant or annoying, and “the cousin who thinks she’s fancy (‘fresa’),” a term for people from upper-class backgrounds or those pretending to be.

Furthermore, Snow implies that the relative who voted for Trump might have done so with the hope of “tener hijos güeros”—that is, children with lighter skin—by marrying a Caucasian American, pointing to an aspiration to fit into an idealized image and to far-right ideas about, as she says, «mejorar la raza» («improving the race»)
The line “I don’t want to open the envelope because it’s a federal crime” directly refers to the persecution migrant families face in the U.S., especially due to mass deportations carried out by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), the federal agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws.
In the chorus, Snow uses well-known Mexican phrases to express family tension, such as «Chingue a su madre, ya valió», meaning something like “everything’s fucked, there’s no solution,” and “trapos sucios, lávalos» (dirty laundry, wash it), advice to handle family problems privately—though in the song, the neighbor has already recorded everything, showing that gossip and public judgment are unavoidable.
SÁBADO stands out as one of the most relevant Latin songs today for understanding the complexities and contradictions within the Latino community in the United States.
Snow Tha Product’s SÁBADO Lyrics in English
Hey, cuz
Don’t cancel me, bro, don’t cancel me
But I gotta say something
I gotta say something
Before the party starts, I want it to be known
That one of us voted for Trump
I don’t know who it was, but the envelope came
And it says the last name, but not the first
There goes the aunt with corn-husk hair
Who raised nothing but spoiled kids
The cousin obsessed with being American
Paisano face, and he voted for Trump
There goes the fool who says the N-word
Damn no-sabo, annoying dude
The cousin who thinks she’s fancy, dull, stiff
Jealous of everything on TikTok
Me with my uncle who’s always in trouble
Tequila by the liter, crying old man
Always mocks me for being a lesbian
Yeah, when he’s drunk he’s gayer than me
Fuck it, it’s screwed
It was a Saturday party
Dirty laundry, wash it
But the neighbor already recorded it
Fuck it, it’s screwed
It was a Saturday party
Dirty laundry, wash it
But the neighbor already recorded it
I don’t wanna open the envelope ‘cause it’s a federal crime
But here, between family, we’ve got news
Who was it?
Don’t say you don’t wanna judge
If they want gossip about everything, they don’t stop criticizing
Not for nothing, the party ends
But don’t blame me, it wasn’t me
I think it was the cousin who, to have blond kids
Married a white American
She says she only speaks English, if she wants chicken, she says yes
Damn trauma of hers, growing up around my aunts with their stupidity
Trying to “improve the race,” blue eyes
Like, fuck you, beaner, the fuck are you?
I like my brown skin, fuck you, fools
Do you watch History, or watch the news?
Stop it, stop it
Fuck it, it’s screwed
It was a Saturday party
Dirty laundry, wash it
But the neighbor already recorded it
Fuck it, it’s screwed
It was a Saturday party
Dirty laundry, wash it
But the neighbor already recorded it
Fuck it, it’s screwed
It was a Saturday party
Dirty laundry, wash it
But the neighbor already recorded it
Fuck it, it’s screwed
It was a Saturday party
Dirty laundry, wash it
But the neighbor already recorded it
