Me Pongo Belikon (part. Maxima Ventaja)

Luis R Conriquez's 'Me Pongo Belikon' featuring Maxima Ventaja is a song that delves into the themes of power, loyalty, and the narco lifestyle. The lyrics are characteristic of the narco-corrido genre, which often glorifies the lives of those involved in the drug trade, depicting them as modern-day outlaws. The song's title, 'Me Pongo Belikon,' which can be loosely translated to 'I Become Aggressive,' sets the tone for the assertive and bold nature of the lyrics.

The song mentions specific locations in Mexico, such as Jalisco and Guanatos (a colloquial name for Guadalajara), indicating the regional influence and the artist's connection to these places. References to luxury items like expensive watches and jewelry, as well as the use of armored vehicles ('Gladiator'), suggest a lifestyle of wealth and the means to protect it. The numbers '3, 1, and 2' could be alluding to a specific group or code within the narco community, adding a layer of insider knowledge and exclusivity to the song.

The repeated phrase 'Me pongo belicón' emphasizes the readiness to defend one's territory and interests, a common theme in narco-corridos. The song portrays a life of constant vigilance ('siempre bien pendiente al radio para el trabajo'), suggesting that despite the celebrations and luxuries, there is an ever-present need to be alert to the dangers of the narco lifestyle. The mention of divine blessing ('me creo bendecido') juxtaposes religious elements with the illicit activities, a contrast often found in this genre.
