El Santo
King Changó Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Venden a Chiapas en la esquina
Garantías suspendidas
Ya viene la policía
El Santo se le fue pa' encima
Camuflaje en la avenida
De tanto plomo no hay salida
Si peleas pierdes la vida
Santo despliega tu ira
Si corres te da calambre
Quien puede con tanta hambre
Cultura popular
Orgullo nacional
Es el terror de los que quieren matar
Cultura popular
Orgullo nacional
Es el terror de los que quieren robar

El político robo
Esta chingada se acabó
Usa mascara y no es Marco
Ya llego El Santo!!
Pantera azteca de plata
Se prende la fiesta y la guaracha
Con su capa y su carro el atrapa
En el gobierno al que le gusta la matraca

Ya se forma la pelea (Llego El Santo)
No hay nadie que con el pueda (Llego El Santo)
Sea gringo o sea fresa (Llego El Santo)
Sea rudo o sea fiera (Llego El Santo)
Disparao' por la avenida (Llego El Santo)
Bailando quebradita (Llego El Santo)




Con la raza en el chopo (Llego El Santo)
Con el disco en la mano de King Changó
