Herencia del cartel
Banda Astilleros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No hay fecha que no se llegue
hoy te nombro mi heredero
de este trono que han peleado
maniosos y pistoleros
de diferentes carteles
de todo México entero

Porque tú te lo mereces
la corona te regalo
porque eres hombre completo
eso no puedo dudarlo
que yo ando a salto de mata
y este trono hay que cuidarlo

Ponga la mano en su pecho
diga usted su juramento
que defendera este trono
con astucia y con talento
ser prudente con su gente
pa que le brinden respeto

Voy a hacer cumplir su idea
oiga usted mi juramento
lo que se me ha encomendado
es lo más grande de un puesto
donde hay hombres
no hay fantasmas
eso usted delo por hecho

Cuídense los aspirantes
que hay les va mi trozadero
el destete va parejo
maniosos y pistoleros
borrare la cuenta vieja
comenzaremos de cero

Tu tercia mata dos pares
para esa tercia mi poker
por que es la filosofia
de la suerte que te toca




el cartel me dio la herencia
no quiero que me den contra.
