El C-1
Gerardo Ortiz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dicen que yo no trabajo
Por que me ven descansando
En una troka del año
Es que tengo gente al mando
Que cuida bien esta empresa
No ocupo tanto relajo

De apodo me dicen cuate
Saben que estoy cinco a siete
Y todita mi plebada
En uno están bien pendiente
El M tres mis respetos
Y Culiacán mi presente

Existen muchos problemas
Conflictos del movimiento
Y cuando se me presenta
Yo sólito los arreglo
Ahí tengo una que si truena
Lueguito les entra el miedo

C1 nombre en la clave
El cuarto su buen amigo
En fin anda como piedra
Listo para el enemigo
Nomas le pican la cresta
Saca la 45

Los lujos son en excesos
Para eso trabaja el viejo
Plebitas hay entre el medio
Norteños en sus festejos
El cinco no va de postre
Para aguantar el desvelo

Los radios están sonando
Creo que estamos avanzando
De rivers aya en San Diego
Me la paso circulando
Ya se fueron las muchachas
En Phoenix se andan paseando

C1 nombre en la clave
El cuate es reconocido
18 que es importante
Para seguir el camino




Cuando sonaba la banda
Gritaba arriba Jalisco
