PA NO PENSAR (feat. Quavo)

Peso Pluma's song 'PA NO PENSAR' featuring Quavo delves into the complex and often dark world of coping mechanisms and the high-stakes lifestyle associated with success and wealth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of using substances like alcohol, pills, and marijuana as a means to escape from the harsh realities and pressures of life. The repeated phrase 'Tomando pa' no pensar' (drinking to not think) underscores the theme of using these substances to numb the mind and avoid confronting painful memories or stress.

The song also touches on the duality of success, where financial gain and material wealth come at the cost of personal loss and moral compromise. Lines like 'Me tocó perder familia, me tocó ganar dinero' (I had to lose family, I had to gain money) highlight the sacrifices made in the pursuit of wealth. The mention of '1,008 grams, that's a key' and 'Put it on the boat overseas' alludes to drug trafficking, adding a layer of criminal activity to the narrative. This is further emphasized by the line 'If you not a boss, we could never speak,' suggesting a hierarchy and code of conduct within this illicit world.

Cultural references, such as smoking 'Gelato' and the use of 'Luz ultravioleta' (ultraviolet light) for growing marijuana, add authenticity to the depiction of this lifestyle. The song also reflects on the internal conflict faced by those in this world, as seen in the line 'I got angels watching me, but trappin' is the devil.' This juxtaposition of good and evil, success and loss, creates a compelling narrative that resonates with listeners who understand the high price of living such a life.
