I see my streetz full of hustlas sellin dope
Creepin trophy truckz and buss off killa smoke
I see older folkz turn away
they disgusted all tha money that i earn a day
And they been busted but everybody payed for
Tha way they live may i be on my way lord
I make a wish, I see mothaz on crack
Keys it don't hurt them cold blooded will it eva be?
ain't no love you can die and still neva see
That tha blood that you spillin is you're own kind
Now take a look who you killin when you go blind
All tha years sellin bricks black taught me well
That life only gives back wha you can sell
And this message is colored by aspairity
So out of lessons these streets want to marry me
And its on...
Chorus:
We're gunna take control
Take a place out to toro
you know we got to blow
That peace pipe, peace pipe...
We're gunna take control
No matter where we go
you know we gotz to blow
That peace pipe, peace pipe...
[Lil Russ]
Stop tha greed as i proceed to blaze
And recollect my thoughts, 'cause we livin in tha last stage
Of revelationz doomed for a devistation
So before i die, imma bring about this unification
Spread love all across tha whole nation
Sheedin tears for my peers and all this shit we facin
'cause lord knows, this mexicano had it bad
Just like tha rest of my people had in tha past
They been in misery sufferin through proporty
But imma help my brothas through this trouble G
Lil' Russ well let it be known worldwide
So imma reunite mi gente till we unify
(Chorus)
[Carlos Coy]
Bandanas flaggin everywhere, clamin sets
Gangstas playin double dare, aimin techs
Many people heard of me when i was lost
Involved wit a dirty deed wit nino ross
Homies was tha full dad
I was at tha party wit my steel hammer pulled back
Thank god he turned into a betta man my second chance
But i don't think i ever can forget tha past
We was kids playin football havin fun
Now we playin 'shootin y'all' wit real guns
One time for my dead friends I do my best
So tha trigga happy trend ends
So you may rest...
(Chorus)

Drug dealers driving fancy trucks and smoking marijuana

I want to leave this life behind and find a new way forward
I make a wish, I see mothaz on crack
I wish that drug addicts could overcome their addiction
G'z gotta serve them everybody want to stack
Drug dealers have to serve their customers who are desperate for drugs
Keys it don't hurt them cold blooded will it eva be?
Drug dealers are not hurt by selling drugs, but is it possible to be cold-blooded and not have consequences?
ain't no love you can die and still neva see
There is no love in the drug trade, and it can lead to death
That tha blood that you spillin is you're own kind
Drug dealers are often killing members of their own community
Now take a look who you killin when you go blind
Drug dealers need to see who they are hurting when they lose sight of the consequences
All tha years sellin bricks black taught me well
Years of drug dealing have taught me a lot about the trade
That life only gives back wha you can sell
The drug trade only rewards what you can produce and sell
And this message is colored by aspairity
My message is influenced by difficult experiences and situations
So out of lessons these streets want to marry me
I have learned a lot from the streets and now they are a part of me
We're gunna take control

We have to succeed
Stop tha greed as i proceed to blaze
We need to stop being greedy and come together
And recollect my thoughts, 'cause we livin in tha last stage
We need to reconsider our actions because we are living in dangerous times
Of revelationz doomed for a devistation
The Bible predicts destruction and devastation

I want to bring unity to my people while I still have time
Spread love all across tha whole nation
We need to spread love to everyone in our community
Sheedin tears for my peers and all this shit we facin

Gangstas playin double dare, aimin techs
Gang members are playing a dangerous game with guns
Many people heard of me when i was lost
People only knew me when I was in a bad place
Involved wit a dirty deed wit nino ross
I was involved in a bad situation with someone named Nino Ross
Homies was tha full dad
My friends were all killed
I was at tha party wit my steel hammer pulled back
I was at a party with a gun ready to use it
Thank god he turned into a betta man my second chance
I am thankful that I got a second chance to change my ways
But i don't think i ever can forget tha past
My past will always be a part of me
We was kids playin football havin fun
We used to be innocent kids who enjoyed playing football
Now we playin 'shootin y'all' wit real guns
Now we are playing a dangerous game with real guns
One time for my dead friends I do my best
I want to honor my dead friends by doing my best to improve our community
So tha trigga happy trend ends
We need to end the trend of people being trigger-happy and killing each other
So you may rest...
Rest in peace to those who have died because of violence

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.
