Verse 1
Since childhood in the scene
He was wild, got into trouble, loves adrenaline
And now he's not the same
We have to make money, we'll never let go of the hand through the crack
And we miss our cousins
Soon they'll be out of confinement, they hit us hard, but they released Serafín
I take steps calmly, I go
And when I go to Las Vegas, it's a party
We lit up a big fresh joint
Verse 2
The mane we left for the lion in captivity
Wearing the VZ shirt, we don't back down
And in Culiacán, I smoked a joint
'Quemó un gallo' is literally 'he burned a rooster', but it's slang for 'I smoked a joint'
Trucking I navigate, I'm not from California but yes we roll in San Diego
And a cap from the Bulls
And a cap from the Bulls (Chicago Bulls, the NBA team)
From Chicago in the Windy City, we arrive well-stocked for the clients
I like to party hard
A blunt well bathed with that honey from bees
Natural honey can be a good additive to the blunt, to close it without saliva. Or so they say

SONG MEANING

La Melena invites us on a high-octane road trip through the life of a daring young hustler who swaps childhood mischief for grown-up money moves. From racing through the streets of Culiacán to lighting up Las Vegas, he lives for the rush: fast cash, faster cars, and ever-present clouds of sweet-smelling smoke. Yet beneath the bravado beats a loyal heart—he watches over cousins doing time, celebrates Serafín’s release, and never lets go of the helping hand that once pulled him up.

The song paints a picture of modern corrido culture where tradition meets urban swagger. Brand-name caps, cross-border cruising between San Diego and Chicago, and a shout-out to his crew in a VZ shirt create a collage of places and symbols that define his world. “La melena” (the mane) is left to the lion in captivity—an image hinting that wild style can be flaunted without being reckless. In the end, it is an ode to adrenaline, loyalty, and partying with a blunt drenched in honey, all delivered with Peso Pluma’s unmistakable corrido tumbado flair.
