Frijolero Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Belinda]
A lively, playful start that sets a fun yet bold tone for the song, introducing the artists and getting the listener’s attention.

[Verso 1: Belinda]
She’s fed up with being stereotyped as a Mexican in a sombrero and insists people stop using degrading nicknames for her. Even if there’s some level of respect between countries and they stay out of each other’s business, she points out that Mexico doesn’t manipulate currency or start wars like other nations do. Instead, they pay debts with resources like oil and interest, yet ordinary people don’t even know who ends up with the money. She also calls out the unfair image that Mexicans are all drug dealers, pointing out the truth — while drügs might be grown in Mexico, the real demand and consumption come from the other side of the border.

[Coro: Belinda]
This is a sharp and unapologetic response to racism. She tells people to stop using hateful slurs toward Mexicans and Latinos, warning that such behavior will be confronted. The lines carry both anger and pride, showing that she won’t accept disrespect. It’s not just about rejecting the words, but about demanding equality and dignity.

[Post-Coro: Belinda]
A short, intense outburst expressing strong frustration and emphasis.

[Verso 2: Snow Tha Product]
She talks about how often she’s stared at or judged for being in the “wrong” neighborhood, and how tiring and infuriating that is. If she got paid every time it happened, she’d be rich. She expresses her frustration with racists and challenges them to imagine life as a Mexican crossing the border, leaving family, friends, and everything familiar behind to survive. She paints a vivid picture of facing gunfire from some locals, having to start over from zero, and still being called insulting names. She flips the situation, asking if those same people would speak the same way if they had to go through those hardships themselves. Then she reminds them that the land they live on and take for granted was once part of Mexico, highlighting the irony of calling Mexicans “outsiders” when history shows otherwise. It’s personal, emotional, and political all at once.

[Coro: Belinda]
The chorus returns with the same fiery rejection of racial insults. It’s a direct warning against disrespect and a statement of pride in who she is. She makes it clear that such language will never be accepted quietly, and that there’s strength in standing up for herself and her culture.

[Puente: Snow Tha Product, Belinda]
A quick and energetic shout-out to friends and collaborators, celebrating unity, shared culture, and Mexican pride.

[Coro: Belinda]
Once again, the chorus comes back strong, repeating the message of rejecting hateful words and turning them back on the people who say them. It’s not just anger — it’s empowerment, a refusal to be looked down on, and a proud declaration of identity.
