PA NO PENSAR Lyrics (English Translation) – Peso Pluma

[Chorus: Quavo & Featherweight]
Taking to not think
Pills to not remember
Smoking like a ritual
And the white one so I don’t go to bed
1,008 grams, that’s a key
Taking to not think
Put it on the boat overseas
Pills to not remember
Do it for the fam, everybody eat
Smoking like a ritual
If you not a boss, we could never speak

And the white one so I don’t go to bed

[Verse 1: Quavo & Featherweight]
Took her to the Cabos, smoking on Gelato, this good speck
I won’t tell you anything, ain’t gon’ talk about it, don’t pull me over (No)
Wrist bipolar, my neck is frozen (Neck froze)
Porsche, a million dollars, popping all the bottles, everybody poured up
Twenty-eight grams of the stinkiest speck
Ultraviolet light, I already planted the branches in the still lifes
I have gone seventy-two hours without falling asleep, and that’s just the way it is.
Bring the mat, I bring the Puffco and the leftover diamonds

[Chorus: Quavo & Featherweight]
1,008 grams, that’s a key
Taking to not think
Pills to not remember
Smoking like a ritual
And the white one so I don’t go to bed
1,008 grams, that’s a key
Taking to not think
Put it on the boat overseas
Pills to not remember
Do it for the fam, everybody eat
Smoking like a ritual
If you not a boss, we could never speak

And the white one so I don’t go to bed

[Verse 2: Featherweight & Quavo]
I had to lose family, I had to earn money
Don’t go with the feint, you think I have what I want
Because sometimes I celebrate
And they see me with a new shirt and pants
From the North, I can’t be beat
Tryna go for the money (No)
I got angels watching me (Me)
But trapping is the devil (Devil)
It chose me, side, it chose me
Dope on my Rollie, Lambo creep-crawling (Skrrt)

[Chorus: Featherweight & Quavo]
Taking to not think
Pills to not remember
Smoking like a ritual
And the white one so I don’t go to bed
1,008 grams, that’s a key
Taking to not think
Put it on the boat overseas
Pills to not remember
Do it for the fam, everybody eat
Smoking like a ritual
If you not a boss, we could never speak
And the white one so I don’t go to bed

[Chorus]
The chorus of “Pa No Pensar” revolves around the theme of using substances and materialistic indulgence as coping mechanisms. It describes taking drügs to avoid thinking deeply about problems and using pills to forget difficult memories. Smoking is depicted as a ritualistic habit, possibly to alleviate stress or maintain a certain lifestyle. The mention of “the white one” suggests a specific drug taken to stay awake and active, indicating a lifestyle where sleep is avoided. The reference to “1,008 grams” as a key signifies a significant amount, likely referring to drug dealing or consumption on a large scale. Overall, the chorus portrays a lifestyle where escaping reality through substances and material wealth is normalized, albeit with hints of the pressures and sacrifices that come with it.

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, the song dives into a narrative of luxury and excess. References to a trip to Cabos and smoking Gelato (high-quality cannabis) highlight a lavish lifestyle. The speaker asserts secrecy and avoids talking about certain activities, possibly illegal or controversial ones. “Wrist bipolar” and a “frozen neck” refer to expensive jewelry and the extravagant display of wealth. The mention of a Porsche and extravagant spending on bottles reinforces the theme of opulence. The verse also touches on productivity in a high-stakes environment, with references to drug quantities and meticulous planning (“Ultraviolet light” and “still lifes”). It concludes with a nod to relentless hustle, evident in the speaker’s lack of sleep and continuous engagement in high-energy activities.

[Chorus]
The second chorus reiterates the theme of using substances and rituals to cope with stress and maintain a high-paced lifestyle. Similar to the first chorus, it emphasizes the use of drügs to avoid overthinking and pills to forget unpleasant memories. Smoking is depicted as a habitual act, potentially to manage anxiety or maintain focus. The line about “1,008 grams” underscores the magnitude of involvement in substance-related activities. References to putting things “on the boat overseas” hint at international dealings or distribution networks. The chorus also touches on familial responsibilities and success-driven motivations (“Do it for the fam, everybody eat”), contrasting personal struggles with the external appearance of prosperity and power dynamics within the speaker’s circle.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the lyrics delve into personal struggles and the moral dilemmas associated with a life driven by material success. The speaker reflects on the sacrifices made, including losing connections with family for the sake of financial gain. There’s a recognition of societal judgments and misunderstandings regarding the pursuit of wealth (“Don’t go with the feint”). The verse portrays occasional celebrations amid ongoing challenges and pressures. Despite external success, the speaker acknowledges inner conflicts and spiritual consequences, symbolized by references to angels and the devil. Material symbols like a “Rollie” (Rolex watch) and a “Lambo” (Lamborghini) underscore the allure of luxury amid darker undertones of moral compromise and personal cost.

[Chorus]
The final chorus reinforces the recurring themes of using substances and rituals to navigate a demanding lifestyle. It echoes the need to suppress thoughts and memories with drügs and pills, maintaining a facade of control and productivity. Smoking continues to symbolize a repetitive habit, possibly used as a crutch in moments of stress or uncertainty. The mention of “1,008 grams” reiterates the scale and involvement in substance-related activities. The chorus concludes with a reminder of the hierarchical dynamics at play (“If you not a boss, we could never speak”), suggesting exclusivity and the pressure to maintain a certain status quo. Overall, it encapsulates the ongoing struggle between external success and internal turmoil, where escapism and indulgence serve as coping mechanisms in a high-stakes world.
