[Music]

I've worked to get what I

want, and I've tried many times

to be the first one

I fought, I fell, but despite the

stumbles, I'll make it out of here. Let them say

that I'm the worst, that I was happy, but it wasn't like that

I struggled a lot to get to where

I am now. On a hard run through Sonora, I

cruise. They'll always see me patrolling with

the tactical vest on, and the radios

must be buzzing. Carrying gear and a joint

to smoke a red Marlboro, nothing

more than to blast. And they'll say in Mazatlán

that we don't mess around. I like

to always move with respect,

treat the young guy right. Diamonds

on the chest, and let the

humility show. Well-dressed with

the boots on. This is how we are and we're

not leaving. Sonora on top

[Music]

I'm a good friend to the people who gave me a

hand. Making money, big bills, and

the iron is ready. There's no fear here, and even

less loss. Those I have by my side are a parade

of armored cars passing by. Let them say

that I'm the worst, that I was happy

I struggled a lot to get to where I am and

through Sonora

[Music]

diamonds on the chest, let it be noted
