Peso Pluma Drops ‘LA PEOPLE II’: Meaning & Lyrics in English

The song is the follow-up to "LA PEOPLE" from the 'La Doble P' album Genesis

Archivado en: Peso Pluma  •  

Peso Pluma, Tito Double P, and Joel de P have just released «LA PEOPLE II,» a song that serves as a sequel to «LA PEOPLE» from ‘la Doble P’ studio album Genesis, and featuring Tito Double P too. This music video stirred up excitement in Mexico City when some users started buzzing on social media about Peso Pluma’s filming in the capital of his native country. Later, we saw on the artists’ accounts that they shared some images of themselves dressed up for the music video, sporting gray hair, suggesting a much older age than their own.

With this song, Hassan makes a clear return to the ‘corridos tumbados’ that initially brought him fame, after a series of tracks and collaborations that moved away from the genre, like «Igual Que Un Ángel» with Kali Uchis, «Bellakeo» with Anitta, «No Son Klle» with Santa Fe Klan and Duki, and even «A Tu Manera» with Junior H. According to Infobae, «LA PEOPLE» tells the story of Néstor Isidro Pérez Salas (from a drug Cartel), also known as ‘El Nini,’ during a close encounter with the Mexican Army before his eventual capture in Culiacán, Sinaloa.

«La People II» Lyrics Translation

With the people, I’m not visible anymore
And as you see,
everything’s good
Radios still blasting at 100
The guys too
I’m the 19th

I had reasons not to let go of the devices
and strong support
They saw me around and I started shooting
Rifle on the shoulder, Dior or Under Armour leg holster

They were green, they were white,
they were blue
And with all of them, I gave them a setback
I wasn’t afraid and I didn’t stop for the boss
And I didn’t pretend, I just did my duty

Pure double P, cousin
Pull in, Joel
Oh, mama

To the boss’s son, we went out to defend
We must proceed to defend
There were several Thursdays when
I faced them
I fought with 2, and got beaten by 3

The capital lost a man
And a good soldier
But that’s how it is
Remember, stay alert
They know they can open
Those steel gates
27 and Piyi
Take care of the land, the family, and the elders

They were white, they were green
They were blue
And with all of them, I faced several setbacks
I wasn’t afraid, and I didn’t stop for the boss
And I didn’t pretend
I just executed my duty.
