Plebillos is a colloquial term, particularly used in some regions of Mexico, to refer to 'kids' or 'youngsters'. It's a diminutive of 'plebe', which can mean common folk or, in this context, young people.
In the song, it's used to highlight the long-standing relationship between the characters, emphasizing that they've known each other since they were very young: "Empezó con los Mayitos, se conocen de plebillos" (He started with the Mayitos, they've known each other since they were kids). This word adds a touch of regional flavor and intimacy to their shared history.
FCA plunges listeners into the fast-paced world of Rodrigo “El Chino Ántrax,” a legendary hitman from Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel. The lyrics paint a movie-like portrait: diamond-studded pistol at his side, death itself as his shadow, and a fearsome stare that makes rivals look away. We follow his rise from teenage bodyguard for Vicente Zambada to head of cartel executions, with the pivotal year 2008 marking his leap to power. Loyalty, bravery, and ruthless efficiency earn him respect from cartel heavyweights like El Mayo and Los Mayitos, while whole crews armed with “cuernos” (slang for AK-47s) stand ready to carry out his commands.
Yet the song also spotlights the glamorous veneer that often masks this violence. Rodrigo cruises through ranches, big cities, beaches, and dusty trails in sports cars and off-road Razers, unwinding in nightclubs or on a yacht stocked with whisky, champagne, and “Barbies.” The corrido captures the stark contrast between luxury and lethal danger, celebrating the swagger and charisma that define the narcocorrido mythos while hinting at the ever-present price of living by the gun.
