Peso Pluma’s “14 - 14” is a gritty confession set to the pulse of a modern corrido. The narrator stumbles through a wild night where booze no longer burns and drugs feel useless, yet he keeps going. Between one drink and the next, he talks to God, thanks his praying mother, and hides a rosary under his shirt before “poisoning” himself again. This tightrope walk between faith and vice turns the song into a late-night prayer wrapped in the unmistakable swagger of Regional Mexican music.
In the second half, the inner battle intensifies. The devil whispers job offers, crates of high-caliber weapons head to Guasave, and a Judas-like traitor meets his fate. Through it all, the singer clings to the hope that el jefe (God) will forgive whatever happens. “14 - 14” paints a vivid picture of someone trapped between cartel duty and spiritual redemption, making listeners feel every ounce of tension, thrill, and fragile faith that comes with living on both sides of the moral line.
