[English]

[Music]

I've worked hard to get what I

want, and I've tried many times to

be the first one to party with

the best girls. I know they hate me, but despite

everything, I think God got me out of here. They'll talk

about me, saying I'm the worst, that I was happy, but it

wasn't like that. The battle was tough

to get where I am. In one hour through

Sonora, I navigate. You'll always see me

patrolling with the tactical vest on and

the windows vibrating. Wearing

Versace and a joint to smoke, a bad

batch of the reds, the best to blast

on the boardwalk. We head out to

Vallarta, that's where I like to hang out

always with respect. The young man's

jewelry on the chest, making sure the

wealth is noticed, with the ducks

up high, Sonora, baby

[Music]

Good friend to the people who gave me a

hand, making money, big bills, and the

gold-plated gun. There's no fear here, especially not

among the boys by my side. It's a

parade of armored cars

passing by

worst it was

In the phase you'll take me, it was tough

to get where I am, and through Sonora in one

hour I navigate. In Mazatlán, on

the boardwalk we stroll, we head out to

Vallarta, that's where I like to hang out, always

with respect. The young man's

diamonds on the chest, let the

humility be noticed

[Music]

[Spanish]

[Música]

he trabajado duro pa obtener lo que yo

quiero y lo intentado muchas veces para

ser el primero que le perrea de

mesursales sé que me caen pero a pesar

del otro pienso Dios sale de aquí tiran

de mí que soy lo peor que fui feliz y no

fue así la batalla es bastante para

llegar a donde estoy en una hora por

Sonora me navegó siempre me verán

patrullar con la pechera bien colgado y

los vidrios las de vibrar faltando

Versace y un gallo para quemar un mal

Boro de los rojos lo más para tronar

en el malecón vaciarnos jalamos para

Vallarta por ahí ya me gusta andar

siempre con respeto al chavalón la de

tratar en el pecho y que se note los

bienes jalados con patitos

arriba Sonora vieja

[Música]

Bueno amigo de la gente que me dio la

mano haciendo feria buen billete y El

Fierro terciado Aquí no hay miedo menos

Los Plebes que traigo al lado es un

desfile de blindadas las que andan

pasando

peor que fue

en la fase me vas a llevar bastante para

llegar a donde estoy y por Sonora en una

dura me navegó y hace el Mazatlán no era

el malecón pasear nos jalamos para

Vallarta por allá me gusta andar siempre

con respeto al chava no lo han de mirar

lo brillantes en el pecho que se note la

humildad

[Música]
