Manuel Ponce
Gerardo Ortiz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Miren como son las cosas ahora soy jefe,
Cinco siete es el calibre que me protege,
Anduvimos batallando y no lo niego,
Pero el palo se izo tronco y oí soy el bueno.

Relaciones de trabajo hoy me acompañan,
Es perfecto y adecuado para las mafias,
Lineas y corporaciones aya en Nebraska,
Luego de correr el jale se ven las pacas.

Los caballos de alta escuela suena la banda hoy se festeja,
Una caja del veintiuno es de Buchannans a mi me alegra,
A mi me apodan el chofrí Manuel Ponce y me respetan.

Con el tiempo me he acoplado tengo mi equipo,
Con valor e inteligencia menos peligro,
Compa organiza mi gente yo soy testigo,
Que cuando ahí un problema no se ase chico.

Si trabajo es para darme mis buenos lujos,
Treinta y dos en una Hummer ese es mi gusto,
Traje cuchillo una escuadra de preferencia,
Una plebe por un lado pa dar le vuelta.

Los caballos de alta escuela suena la banda hoy se festeja,




Se va pa la guacamalla para enfiestarse con unas viejas,
El compadre si se arremanga comadre lego me respalda.
