The first verse highlights the rapper's love for his hometown and describes the devil coming from the hot sun. The next verse talks about smoking and taking drugs with his friends, gathering in a group to enjoy "smoking doje." The third verse shifts gears and becomes more confrontational, with the rapper asserting his dominance over other rappers who he believes don't have the skills to succeed. He describes himself and his crew as "making hits in the basment [sic]" and standing up for themselves against anyone who tries to bring them down.
Overall, the song is an anthem for anyone who feels proud of where they come from and is willing to stand up for themselves against adversity.

I represent millions of Mexicans, and I'm always ready for a battle. I speak with a double tongue, even better than rappers. We're tough like piranhas while you're drowning in the lake. We're crossing the border like a classic car, cruising like a 86, but you copied your style, which your own mother said isn't worth anything. Your kind doesn't even know your daddy because you're a pretender, aspiring to be a rapper, but not good enough. It's time to take revenge.
