Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Me acostumbré a lo bueno

I got used to the good life

Mota de la más cara

The most expensive weed

Y antes de ser importante

And before being important

Ya cargaba las pacas

I was already carrying the packs

Si salgo, me echo un rezo

If I go out, I say a prayer

Y cargo una fajada

And I carry a wad

Es esta vida maldita

This cursed life

Yo no confío en nada

I don't trust anything

En un antro me vieron

They saw me in a club

Festejando en Tijuana

Celebrating in Tijuana

Por desmadroso, caí al bote

For being reckless, I ended up in jail

Salí en la mañana

I got out in the morning

Buenos negocios llevo

I have good business

Pues me gusta la chamba

Because I like to work

Yo si salgo, no es de visita

When I go out, it's not just a visit

Es pa agarrar más lana

It's to make more money

Caminando con buen porte

Walking with good posture

Siempre es alegre el muchacho, no se equivoque

The boy is always cheerful, don't get it wrong

Puro perico de exporte

Pure export-grade cocaine

La que mandaban y yo le sacaba el doble

The one they sent, and I made double

Pura Fuerza Regida, viejo

Pure Fuerza Regida, old man

¡Otro pedo!

Another thing!

Y siempre anda alegre el muchacho

And the boy is always cheerful

¿Quién se acuerda, a ver?

Who remembers, let's see?

Una sierra cortita

A short saw

Va zumbando en putiza

Buzzing quickly

Andamos haciendo desmadre

We're causing a ruckus

Recio en la movida

Strong in the hustle

Es una 38

It's a .38

La que cuida mi vida

The one that protects my life

Si alguien se pasa de verga

If someone crosses the line

Les tira mordida

They get a bite

Ya repartimos todo el barrio

We already distributed all over the neighborhood

Seguimos de pie

We remain standing

Ando buscando hacer billetes

I'm looking to make bills

Pero a otro nivel

But at another level

Ya no ando en lo chueco

I'm no longer in the crooked

Mi empresa formé

I formed my business

Pura mafia de la calle

Pure street mafia

Pilas, pariente

Be alert, cousin

Caminando con buen porte

Walking with good posture

Siempre es alegre el muchacho, no se equivoque

The boy is always cheerful, don't get it wrong

Puro perico de exporte

Pure export-grade cocaine

La que mandaban y yo le sacaba el doble

The one they sent, and I made double

A huevo, viejo, ¡arriba la mafia!

Hell yeah, old man, long live the mafia!

Y somos de la calle

And we are from the streets

Del barrio hasta aquí, pa'

From the neighborhood to here, for

...
