Mas Vale Cholo
Los Tucanes de Tijuana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mas vale cholo q mal acompañado
Dice un amigo pesado de tijuana
Y no le busquen porque ese no pordona
Es hombre bravo q le sobran agallas

Cuernos de chivo vigilan su camino
Es poderoso trae mucha gente armada
La policia lo mira y lo saluda
Ahunque lo buscan no pueden hacer nada

De que las puede ya esta bien comprobado
No cabe duda es un hombre desidido
Cuida la plaza por ordenes de arriva
Es brazo fuerte y pariente del tigrillo

Mas vale cholo q mal acompañado
Escuche todos muy bien lo q les digo
No quiero fallas ustedes ya lo saben
Q soy acople de mi cuerno de chivo
Tambien ahi traigo mi fiel mp-5
Varias granadas para mis enemigos

No se me raje primo

Con mi negocio se q corro peligro
Pero me gustan las emociones fuertes
Gano dinero disfruto de la vida
Soy brespetado y amigo de los jefes

San judas siempre me cuida y me protege
Por eso es q yo les tengo sus altares
Es milagroso me ayuda en mis negicios
Y mientras viva siempre voy a rezarle

No soy tan malo como lo cren ustedes
Verdad compadre q soy muy buen amigo
Naci valiente es sierto no lo niego
Y si lo dudan ya saben donde vivo

Se que me buscan pero eso no me asusta
Miedo no tengo se los he demostrado
Pero si quieren volver a comprobarlo
Aqui les tengo costales reservados

Soy de la mafia q quieren q les diga
Q soy el cholo y q me la peres prado





Aqui estamos al 100 compa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Tucanes De Tijuana's song "Más Vale Cholo" can be interpreted as a tribute to the urban gangs of Tijuana, Mexico, and the culture that surrounds them. The song starts with the chorus, "Mas vale cholo q mal acompañado" ("it's better to be a cholo than be with bad company"), which seems to suggest that the lifestyle of Tijuana's gang members is a more reliable and trustworthy path than being with people who are not part of the gang. The lyrics describe the cholo, the singer of the song, as a brave and loyal man who protects his territory and gives respect to those who deserve it. He is ready to face any danger that comes his way and is not afraid to use weapons to defend himself.


The song talks about the cholo's relationship with the police, who apparently cannot do anything to stop him or his gang despite their efforts to catch him. The cholo also talks about his business, which is dangerous but thrilling, and how he enjoys life and the respect of his superiors. The song ends with the cholo stating that he is not a bad person, but someone who was born courageous and that he is always ready to defend his way of life.


Overall, "Más Vale Cholo" glorifies the cholo lifestyle and presents it as an alternative to a life without purpose or respect. The song also highlights the danger and thrill that comes with being part of a gang, as well as the loyalty and honor that are an essential part of gang culture.
