Songfacts®:

• "Los Cuadros" is a corridos tumbados and regional mexicano track by Tito Double P and Peso Pluma, featured on Tito's debut album, Incómodo. The song follows a back-and-forth structure, with verses alternating between the two artists, building up to a recurring chorus.
• Lyrically, the song dives into themes often found in corridos: success, wealth, references to the drug trade, and the need for caution and protection in that world.
• The title, "Los Cuadros," translates to "The Paintings" or "The Pictures" in English, and it uses the idea of "pictures" to frame the narratives being shared. The opening lines depict a lavish lifestyle of spending and success, almost as if they're "painting a picture" of their lives.
• In the context of the song, "cuadros" also serves as a double entendre, referring to drug packages.
  
  Los cuadros, libretas se van por mar
  Y atrás marinos por el altamar
  
  Translates to:
  The canvases, notebooks go by sea
  And behind them, sailors across the open ocean
  
  The lines hint at the covert transportation of illegal substances. The word "cuadros" thus becomes a metaphor for the smuggling of drugs, giving the song a layered meaning that touches both on the luxurious image they project and the darker reality beneath it.
