Garza West
South Park Mexican Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the hood & I stood on them Houston streets
We stick together like cuban's links
I had a 9 on my waist guns I straddle
44 at the crib with the ivory handle
I'm the rocker betty crocker cookin' cookies & cakes
V12 the blow it up as my coke inflates
I'm a swanger Gucci on my hangar
I like to ride horses like mustangs & porches
Pain is my producer leader of the dark forces
Strikin' like matches droppin' like ashes
I only buy dances if they payin' college classes muthafucker.
[Hook:]
I'm wreckin' for my G's in Garza West
I'm wreckin' for my G's in Garza East
I'm wreckin' for my G's in T.D.C.
As I ball in this penitentiary. [x2]
[Juan Gotti:]
Mi esposa won't listen, Keeps comin' up missin'
Feliz Navidad aqui en Transde State prison
No visits no kisses
No off the chain bitches
No mas on TV magazines & 9 wishes
I work on the hoes what! Livin' c dorm
Life with a .45 got me this job
Makes bread with my fool ese loco & tontos everyday tensions fights for the tubo
House regulation droppin' cantones
Bosses talk shit cause I drove on my sobre
Traded my cornbread desert over juice
Dried up pro bullshit that ain't no food
As in fool on the cool parole sent me off way
4 Years fo' sho' without no release day.
You vatos don't feel me? You livin' the free
As I ball through this penitentiary.
[Hook:]
I'm wreckin' for my G's in Garza West
I'm wreckin' for my G's in Garza East
I'm wreckin' for my G's in T.D.C.
As I ball in this penitentiary. [x2]
[South Park Mexican:]
Swissha sweet rollin'
Pockets still swollen
Might meet a bitch & take her fine ass bowlin'
Money out the colon Benz ain't stolen
Might watch Tiger Woods at the Houston open
& I got hoes even ones that's Hawaiian
Slangin' more white balls than the Nolan Ryan
9 with the silence, Might turn to violence
This for all my pipe tokin' crack smokin' clients
& my grass is much greener South Park beaner
Puttin' dick to a real famous R&B singer
Blowin' like a tuba wet like a scuba
Candy coated cougar I'm a baller & a hooper
Hater heart breaker bloody shirt stainer
Jumpin' on my divin' board fittin' to do a ganna
Blades on my Benz tons of fake friends
Sprayed down my seats with the cherry fragrance muthafucker.
[Hook:]
I'm wreckin' for my G's in Garza West
I'm wreckin' for my G's in Garza East
I'm wreckin' for my G's in T.D.C.
As I ball in this penitentiary. [x2]
The lyrics to South Park Mexican's song Garza West paint a vivid picture of life in a Houston prison. The first verse describes SPM's past life on the streets, where he carried a 9mm gun and a .44 with an ivory handle. He prides himself on being able to cook, but his real source of income comes from selling cocaine. He brags about buying his cousin a fancy car and loving to ride horses. However, the "dark forces" he references may be the gangs or criminal organizations that he is a part of. In the hook, he raps about "wreckin'" for his fellow gang members in different prisons.
The second verse is sung by Juan Gotti, who is also serving time in prison. He talks about missing his wife and the outside world, and how life in prison is not glamorous like it may be portrayed in movies and magazines. He laments the lack of female company and how his life revolves around fighting for basic resources like the shower. Despite the hardships, he is still loyal to his friends and will "wreck" for them in any prison.
Overall, the lyrics to Garza West provide an honest and gritty portrayal of life behind bars, and the tough choices people are forced to make in order to survive.

The song "Mexican Radio" by South Park Mexican is an autobiographical song that reflects his journey from a street thug to a successful rapper. The song starts with him giving a shout out to his homies at the radio station, and then SPM brags about his success, like cruising in roll Cadillacs, smoking weed, and losing two grand shooting craps at a casino. He then talks about his old friend who is in jail and asks for his three kids to look after. He describes the friends routine in jail, "wake up at 5 AM for fruit loops, draped in white overalls and black boots". SPM talks about his life on the streets, from running around town with a sack of rocks to wearing matching polo shirts with socks. He promises his mom that he'll grow up someday and become an astronaut.
In the chorus, SPM proudly declares that he's on the Mexican radio and repeats it several times. The second verse starts with him talking about his dad, who represents Texas and how his haters are just jealous of his success. He then talks about hustling and making money through bird flipping, and how everybody knows that his back is not dry. He reveals that his life is like a tumbleweed, and he's trying to dodge death and jail. He also mentions his car's muffler falling out and how people laughed at him. In the third verse, SPM brags about his wealth, buying cribs on the side of lakes, and having a waterproof gun while swimming. He asks the reverend to pray for him when he dies, and he amusingly counts his car's TVs, which are 11. The song ends with SPM giving another shout out to his buddies and his signature sign off.
