BackPack Boyz

Peso Pluma's 'BackPack Boyz' is a song that delves into the themes of ambition, the drug trade, and the pursuit of wealth, all set against the backdrop of the artist's Mexican heritage. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has taken risks ('tomé varios riesgos') to achieve a luxurious lifestyle, symbolized by 'el hielo' (slang for diamonds or expensive jewelry) that now adorns them. The reference to 'BackPack Boyz la marihuana' suggests involvement in the marijuana trade, which is further supported by lines about cultivating the herb ('Hierba hemos de cultivar').

The song also touches on the importance of maintaining anonymity ('He de cuidar siempre yo mi identidad') in such a risky business, indicating that while the protagonist is successful, they must navigate the dangers that come with their line of work, including violence ('Balas traigo'). Despite the potential perils, the allure of the high life is evident in the mentions of luxury brands and enjoying the nightlife with friends ('Vamos al antro con los panas').

Culturally, the song reflects the experiences and aspirations of those involved in the underground economy, particularly within the context of Mexican and Latino communities ('Descendencia mexicana'). It portrays a narrative of striving for success and enjoying the fruits of one's labor, albeit through means that are not always legal. The song's vivid imagery and references to specific locations and luxuries paint a picture of the lifestyle that the protagonist has achieved and aspires to maintain.
