Ni Hoy Ni Ma
Gerardo Ortiz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No será ahora, ni pa' mañana, me voy cuando a mí me pegue la gana
Esos contrarios ya los ando arriando
Pues en mi escuela ni libros usamos
Desde chiquillo cargaba yo el parque
Luego confiaron un cuerno en mis mano
Ya con el tiempo he aprendido a limpiarlos
Me hice una bala para detonarlos
Ahora estoy a cargo, a la orden del Mayo
En esta frontera yo soy el que mando

Unos se encargan, del armamento
Dos en mi espalda por si hay traicioneros
Tres a la guardia caminan de frente
Cuatro blindadas esperan al jefe
Cinco oficinas allá por Sonora
Cuando festejan suena la tambora
Todos unidos, nunca se demoran
Seis es la clave que cuidan ahora
Vengo hacer historia, la marca me asombra
Miro al enemigo los sigue y lo trozan

Ni hoy ni mañana abandono la plaza
Ahora Chicali ya es como mi casa
Llegamos y estamos parados al frente
De pronto la cosa se pone caliente
Se activa mi gente, la cena ahora es muerte
Cambia la fachada se enferma el ambiente

Traigo a mi gente bien alterada
Piensan que traigo a mi gente tachada
Son muy activos para estos servicios
Pisan aplastan a los enemigos
Cuido la plaza, cobijo el terreno
Hace minutos mate dos rateros
De esos que quieren comer de mis huesos
Yo no trabajo para golleteros
No ocupo letreros, no soy mensajero
En pocas palabras me nombran el Checo

No todo es mío, pero si hay plazas
Que con mi nombre y mi numero basta
Solo hay un macho y el fue mi maestro
Huevos y estilo merece respeto
Desde chiquillo me viene el camino
Armas granadas fusiles equipo
Como recuerdo la escolta del niño
Cuando empezaba la guerra aguerrido
Monte mi camino, me metí al peligro
Hoy nomas se miran volar los casquillos

Ni hoy ni mañana abandono la plaza
Ahora Chicali ya es como mi casa
Llegamos y estamos parados al frente
De pronto la cosa se pone caliente




Se activa mi gente, la cena ahora es muerte
Cambia la fachada se enferma el ambiente
