Ojo Por OJo Diente Por Diente
Gerardo Ortiz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Era Mi padre, era mi jefe
Y si usted ordena lo mato en caliente
Ojo por ojo, diente por diente
Odio rencores venganza de muerte,
Dejo las blindadas, matanza a las armas,
Hay gente a su mando, para la venganza,
Me siento afectado, desidi vengarlo
Era mi padre, era mi jefe.

Tiene mi apoyo, hize un comando
Para aplicar un castigo adecuado
Quiero justicia, quiero vengarlo
Voy a doblar el dolor que causaron,
Tendre que amarrarlo, quiero torturarlo,
Yo cumplo la orden, quiero interrogarlo,
Placer de sicario, valor heredado
Tiene mi apoyo, hize un comando.

Matar vengar o lo que pueda causar,
Dolor ardor y que pida perdon,
Y la causa de todo el problema,
Es vengar a mi padre




Esto asi no se queda,
Con la ley del Talon.
