Bélico, El Asunto (feat. Grupo Arriesgado)

Grupo Codiciado's song 'Bélico, El Asunto' is a prime example of a narco-corrido, a genre of Mexican music that often tells stories about the drug trade, violence, and the lives of those involved in the cartel lifestyle. The lyrics of this song paint a vivid picture of a character deeply entrenched in this world, boasting about his precision with firearms, his loyalty to his comrades, and his connections to notorious figures in the drug trade.

The song's protagonist mentions his preference for 'armas largas' (long guns) and his readiness to 'die on the line,' indicating a life lived on the edge and a willingness to engage in violence. The mention of 'Mateo,' who watches his back, and his 'compadres' who are 'tranquilos' (calm) but 'nunca se rajan' (never back down), suggests a brotherhood among those who live by the gun. References to specific individuals and places, such as 'Ponchito el de la Lima,' 'Chavo Felix,' and 'Culiacán,' ground the song in real-life contexts, linking it to actual figures and locations known for cartel activity.

The song also touches on personal aspects of the protagonist's life, such as his family. He speaks of his wife and children with pride, indicating that despite his dangerous lifestyle, he values his family. The mention of 'Los Tucanes de Tijuana,' a famous band known for performing narco-corridos, at the end of the song, serves as a nod to the culture and music that glorifies and perpetuates the stories of the drug trade in Mexico.
