Corrido De Altavista

The feds arrived
in the city of Tepic
from there, a high-ranking official
was the one to greet them
sir, we bring the order
to search Nayarit.

The official told them
I am from a nearby town
I want to ask you a favor
not to disturb
my town, Altavista
there's no contraband there.

The fed left
with a lingering doubt
what the man asked for
was a very strange thing
close to immediately he told them
to take them to that town.

Surprise they encountered
the checkpoint was set up
a trailer came escorted
by police and drug dealers
then they were signaled to stop
they responded with gunfire.

That night of hell
screams of terror were heard
when reinforcements arrived
no one identified themselves
they massacred each other
without mercy.

Rumors are heard
that everything was controlled
only dead bodies remained
and it was never reported
where the cargo ended up
and that high-ranking official.

But it's the law of life
the ones below always pay
because there are those above
who never face consequences
some risk their lives
while others spend the cash.
