[English]

The crew has been activated

As the engine roars

And black is the Raptor

It looks really tough

Designer shoes, with red soles

And sometimes the young guys wear their boots

Because they’re for having fun

And they’re always on point

Whether super calm

Or if there's a troublemaker

We’re based out of Colorado

But it’s in Denver where we run the streets

Three-eight the big one

Norinco is the big one

The guns are ready

If the moment calls for it

You can hear the echo between the colorful hills

Always gotta try out the new toys

And thank God

You can see the relief

There’s my buddy Eloy

Riding a big truck

Low-riding chassis, real smooth and laid back

That’s our style and the luxuries we give ourselves

And from Sonora, all smooth, up to Denver, Colorado, brother

Listening to the guitars of Los Minis De Caborca

That’s right, buddy Javier Rosas

Let the Heavy Artillery boom, old man

Straightforward in our dealings

Humility shows

And when it’s time to gamble

We go all in

The squad Casas always bets on

Bales of a hundred and light horses

Excuses to party

Those are sure to come

Let the Minis listen

When it’s time to celebrate

All the young guys are always on the move

And in Paris, France, buddy Casas sightseeing

In a Ford Lightning

Just like back home

Low the chassis

Álvaro always at full throttle

Only beautiful girls are what we aim for

We throw a good party at the clubs

Dolce & Gabbana and with

Gucci and Louis Vuitton

The impression is clear

Partying and cruising around

Erving with the girls having fun

The guys say goodbye making deals

...

[Spanish]

La clica se activó

Al rugir del motor

Y negra es la raptor

Se mira bien perrón

Zapatos de diseñador, la zuela es roja

Y en ocasiones los plebes portan sus botas

Pues son de diversión

Y andan siempre al millón

Ya sea bien tranquilón

O si hay un destrampón

En el estado Colorado radicamos

Pero es en Denver donde a gusto ruleteamos

Tres ocho el superón

Norinco es el cuernón

Los fierros al tentón

Si se da la ocasión

Se escucha el eco entre los cerros colorados

Los juguetitos nuevos siempre hay que calarlos

Y es que gracias a Dios

Se ve el alivianón

Ahí anda el compa Eloy

Montado en un sierrón

Chasis al piso bien placoso y bien tumbado

Es nuestro estilo y son los lujos que nos damos

Y desde Sonora, bien placosos, hasta Denver, Colorado, compadre

Escuchando las guitarras de Los Minis De Caborca

Así es, compa Javier Rosas

Y que truene la Artilleria Pesada, viejo

Sencillos al tratar

Se nota la humildad

Y a la hora de apostar

Fuerte es la cantidad

La cuadra Casas a la que siempre apostamos

Pacas de a cien y muy ligeros los caballos

Pretextos pa' tomar

Esos no han de faltar

Los Minis escuchar

Cuando hay que festejar

Todos los plebes siempre andan de arriba abajo

Y en París, Francia el compa Casas turisteando

En una Ford Lightning

Al estilo de aquí

Bien tumbado el chasis

Álvaro siempre al mil

Puras plebitas bellas las que apalabramos

Buena encerrona nos pegamos en los antros

Dolce & Gabanna y con

La Gucci y Louis Vuitton

Se nota la impresión

De party dando el rol

El compa Erving con las plebes placoseando

Haciendo tratos se despiden los chavalos
