Ya empezo la balacera

The song 'Ya Empezo la Balacera' by Los Titanes De Durango is a vivid narrative set against the backdrop of a lifestyle marked by violence, partying, and bravado. The title itself, which translates to 'The Shooting Has Begun,' sets a tone of intensity and potential danger. The lyrics describe a scene where gunfire is heard as a group of young men, referred to as 'los plebes,' arrive with haste to carry out a job. This suggests involvement in illicit activities, possibly within the context of organized crime, which is a common theme in the genre of narcocorridos, a subgenre of Mexican regional music that tells stories about the drug trade and its players.

The song continues to depict a night of revelry, with references to drinking, drug use ('perico,' slang for cocaine), and a carefree attitude towards love and relationships. The protagonist boasts about his success with women and his inherited traits from his father, indicating a sense of pride in continuing a family legacy. The celebration of business success, likely in the realm of illegal dealings, is intertwined with a romanticized view of being a ladies' man.

As the night progresses, the party continues until dawn, with more drug use and the discharge of firearms into the air. The song concludes with the protagonist deciding to rest, with plans to continue the indulgent lifestyle the following day, suggesting a cycle of excess and recovery. The narrative is a portrayal of a life lived on the edge, with a blend of danger, pleasure, and a nonchalant attitude towards the consequences of one's actions.
