The Hood King
from La Lagunilla,
had his crew and his turf marked.
Danced chachacha and mambo,
and the new rhythm of rock and roll.
He was ugly and into boxing,
in every neighborhood he had
the love and friendship
of the daughter, the mother, and the doorwoman.
One day he met
The Lord of La Guerrero,
a famous dancer who wasn't bad looking at all.
He didn't sing rancheras badly
did well with his fists.
Seeing the opportunity,
La Lagunilla and The Lordship of La Guerrero,
and some other kingdom
formed the Triple Alliance
feared by the whole race.
What didn't sit well
with the Hood King of La Lagunilla
was that he was left without a queen,
because the Guerrero dancer
was eyeing every girl.
With this great wrong and a very sad
heart, he only found one solution,
he fell in love with the sister.

The Hood King of the hood
what he thought
was just a game
made him fall in love
for the first time (x2)
and from there I was born
I was born.
