Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mete la mano en el bolsillo, saca y abre tu cuchillo y ten cuidado
póngame el oído en este barrio a mucho guapo lo han matado
Mete la mano en el bolsillo, saca y abre tu cuchillo y ten cuidado (Mira ten cuidado)

póngame el oído en este barrio a mucho guapo lo han matado
Recuerde señora agarre bien su cartera
usted no conoce éste barrio aquí asaltan a cualquiera
Mete la mano en el bolsillo, saca y abre tu cuchillo y ten cuidado (Mira ten cuidado)

póngame el oído en este barrio a mucho guapo lo han matado




En los barrios de guapos nadie vive tranquilo
escoge bien tus palabras o no vales ni el tiro
