Siempre Pendientes (feat. Peso Pluma)

Luis R Conriquez's song 'Siempre Pendientes,' featuring Peso Pluma, is a vivid portrayal of loyalty, power, and the life of those involved in the narcoculture. The lyrics are steeped in the imagery and language typical of corridos, a genre that often tells stories of the Mexican drug trade, its key figures, and the socio-political landscape surrounding it. The song's title, which translates to 'Always Alert,' sets the tone for a narrative that emphasizes vigilance and readiness in a dangerous world.

The song opens with a declaration of constant vigilance due to the intelligence of the government, highlighting the perpetual cat-and-mouse game between law enforcement and those involved in the drug trade. The mention of 'JGL' (Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán Loera) and the pride in carrying his initials signifies deep respect and allegiance to one of the most infamous drug lords. This loyalty is further emphasized by the reference to 'the bosses' and the responsibility of protecting their territory, indicating a structured hierarchy and a sense of duty within the organization.

The imagery of luxury vehicles, such as the Urus and Cheyennes, and the entourage of ten trucks, paints a picture of wealth and power. These symbols of status are juxtaposed with the constant need for security, as seen in the mention of 'Piyi' as a security ring. The song also touches on the generational aspect of this lifestyle, with the narrator mentioning his descent and early involvement in the trade. The references to specific figures like 'Iván' and '09' further root the song in the real-life context of the Sinaloa Cartel, making it a powerful narrative of loyalty, power, and the ever-present danger in the world of narcoculture.
