El Tsurito (feat. Junior H y Gabito Ballesteros)

Peso Pluma's 'El Tsurito,' featuring Junior H and Gabito Ballesteros, is a vivid narrative that delves into the gritty realities of street life and the drug trade. The song's lyrics paint a picture of a world where courage, loyalty, and survival are paramount. The opening lines set the tone, with a call to action for someone to get out of the 'Tsurito,' a small car, and prepare for a mission. The reference to 'polvito bendito' (blessed powder) for the nose is a clear allusion to cocaine, highlighting the drug's role in this lifestyle.

The song continues to describe the tension and danger inherent in their world. The mention of 'trucha' (be alert) and the need to 'pelar' (escape) if they see any movement underscores the constant vigilance required to survive. The lyrics also touch on the importance of faith and protection, with references to kissing their necklaces and carrying a 'cuernito' (a small gun). This blend of religious imagery and weaponry illustrates the complex moral landscape these individuals navigate.

The chorus likens the scene to a 'dulcería' (candy store), with bullets flying like sweets, a metaphor that starkly contrasts the innocence of candy with the violence of their reality. The song also addresses the transactional nature of their world, with negotiations and power dynamics playing a crucial role. The line 'Usted diga si hacemos las cosas bien, no tenemos que pelear' (You say if we do things right, we don't have to fight) reflects a pragmatic approach to conflict resolution. Ultimately, 'El Tsurito' is a raw and unflinching portrayal of life on the edge, where every decision can mean the difference between life and death.
