[English]

I got used to the good life

The most expensive weed

And before being important

I was already carrying the packs

If I go out, I say a prayer

And I carry a wad

This cursed life

I don't trust anything

They saw me in a club

Celebrating in Tijuana

For being reckless, I ended up in jail

I got out in the morning

I have good business

Because I like to work

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

It's to make more money

Walking with good posture

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

Pure export-grade cocaine

The one they sent, and I made double

Pure Fuerza Regida, old man

Another thing!

And the boy is always cheerful

Who remembers, let's see?

A short saw

Buzzing quickly

We're causing a ruckus

Strong in the hustle

It's a .38

The one that protects my life

If someone crosses the line

They get a bite

We already distributed all over the neighborhood

We remain standing

I'm looking to make bills

But at another level

I'm no longer in the crooked

I formed my business

Pure street mafia

Be alert, cousin

Walking with good posture

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

Pure export-grade cocaine

The one they sent, and I made double

Hell yeah, old man, long live the mafia!

And we are from the streets

From the neighborhood to here, for

...

[Spanish]

Me acostumbré a lo bueno

Mota de la más cara

Y antes de ser importante

Ya cargaba las pacas

Si salgo, me echo un rezo

Y cargo una fajada

Es esta vida maldita

Yo no confío en nada

En un antro me vieron

Festejando en Tijuana

Por desmadroso, caí al bote

Salí en la mañana

Buenos negocios llevo

Pues me gusta la chamba

Yo si salgo, no es de visita

Es pa agarrar más lana

Caminando con buen porte

Siempre es alegre el muchacho, no se equivoque

Puro perico de exporte

La que mandaban y yo le sacaba el doble

Pura Fuerza Regida, viejo

¡Otro pedo!

Y siempre anda alegre el muchacho

¿Quién se acuerda, a ver?

Una sierra cortita

Va zumbando en putiza

Andamos haciendo desmadre

Recio en la movida

Es una 38

La que cuida mi vida

Si alguien se pasa de verga

Les tira mordida

Ya repartimos todo el barrio

Seguimos de pie

Ando buscando hacer billetes

Pero a otro nivel

Ya no ando en lo chueco

Mi empresa formé

Pura mafia de la calle

Pilas, pariente

Caminando con buen porte

Siempre es alegre el muchacho, no se equivoque

Puro perico de exporte

La que mandaban y yo le sacaba el doble

A huevo, viejo, ¡arriba la mafia!

Y somos de la calle

Del barrio hasta aquí, pa'
