El Rey Midas

There's a saying that goes, if you keep at it, you’ll achieve
Ambition and poverty pushed him into the mob scene
You’re worth what you have, he had nothing before
Now he’s worth more than gold, that’s what his people swore
A man of great humility, Sinaloa feels like home

With a brilliant mind that the mob has come to crave
An enviable man, he does whatever he wants to pave
Great at business, his word carries a lot of weight
Strong temperament, better watch out if you’re late
Don’t disrespect him, keep friendships and accounts straight

He’s inherited his father’s way of thinking, it’s true
Working day by day, the kid quickly broke through
A man born in the land of the American dream
But he’s proud of his roots, Mexican blood in his stream
The storm was tough, but he knew how to withstand
Mr. Boss or RM, that’s what his crew has planned

He says he remembers when he was out on the street
Struggling through life, he’s had many feats
Now he’s got a big business that brings in the green
He’s been pulling cash from the gringos, stacking it clean
So his family won’t ever have to want for a thing

The man is known by folks from other towns, it’s true
He’s got people from Chicago down in Atlanta too
Also over in Ohio and the crew out in Indiana
Everyone respects him wherever he stands, no drama
He’s got everything he wants, always has a trick up his sleeve

Down in Sinaloa, he’s got a solid base
With Don Memo and Don Mago, they’re making big plays
He sees them as family, says he won’t let them down
Loves his nephew, takes him everywhere around
His uncle’s admiration, and he sees him as his dad

He wrote his own story over the years, it’s rad
He knew how to do things right, he’s a lucky man
His father’s his strength, keeps him working hard
Sending blessings from where he is, that old man’s a guard
The apples don’t fall far, that’s what the kid’s got to say
Raised up in Sinaloa, they call him King Midas today.
