El Jefe de Nuevo Laredo

I started my journey with gunfire
Thinking back, I don’t know why I’m like this
A friend of the soldiers, making history with them
If I walk like a badass, they start to follow me

I started my journey with gunfire
Thinking back, I don’t know why I’m like this
A friend of the soldiers, making history with them
If I walk like a badass, they start to follow me

My family is big
In the art of war, I have my militia
Many don’t like it when I bring justice
Discipline like the Marines

But of course, I know the colors of my flag
Alongside my brothers, we stand out at the border
It got dangerous, that’s how it is anywhere
Wants to cross without permission, but poor is the one who gets caught

My roads are always a fight
My nieces and nephews sometimes take care of them
Loyalty is only for those who’ve fought for it
And a soldier in every child that was born on this land

My horses shine like stars, my cavalry
That’s how I roll, I’m all about infantry
I’ve been in various river towns teaching my way
And sometimes just my crew to dance on your ribs

I hope the thirteenth comes out like Friday
Sometimes without my mask, I buzzed in my Cheyenne
What I touch ignites, understand
That with my brother and the Zetas, I was a lieutenant

And I’m heading to Allende, remember
I sent 50 trucks full of pure Migueles
The one who betrays loses, they don’t come back
Even if they’re mad, my nine gets fulfilled

I planted that fear that you feel in the land
I was young and money sent us to war
I have all the power, we connect with the real deal
They call me Mando 40, and I’m the boss of the border

I have ammo I left with my brothers
I defend like a whole Mexican army
I’m just from one team, and I’ll show you that
I just used one letter and a few hanging around

Either way, we’re already burned
I have hideouts, in the woods my deer
My ranch is only guarded even if I don’t leave a lock
Kid, I’m the real deal even if you see me locked up

And I’m in a helicopter, I won’t tell you
I take them down myself, kid, I don’t even forget them
That one you paint red, I think I’m his acquaintance
The same one who watches over the ranch, that’s my colorful friend

It’s true I had nothing, but I wanted
I started with my little store that expanded in Laredo
Enemy of the friend of the one who chased me
Because I did the work that others didn’t want to

I didn’t invent the railroad, but I control those tracks
If something comes out of the pen, I leave it in yellow tape
I always leave a reminder, sometimes it wasn’t my fault
But I’m behaving now, I already paid the police

I started my journey with gunfire
Thinking back, I don’t know why I’m like this
A friend of the soldiers, making history with them
If I walk like a badass, they start to follow me

With gunfire
With gunfire, with gunfire
With gunfire
With gunfire

Of higher words, the one who accredits me
That’s why I move with only big leaguers
I don’t know why I’m like this, thanks, mom, for giving me life
And may God forgive the one we put on their knees

This shit doesn’t end like this even if I die
Even if I’m already sorry for all my shootouts
If it’s good, I was guilty, I already paid my sentence
All the Zetas Cartel, I left them my pure school

With all the cartels, I was the one who fought
That’s why I put up barricades outside my place
Civilians’ commandos, I have more than a battalion
Because that’s how I defend myself with pure fucking firepower, dude

That’s why since I was a kid, my criminal career
In the plaza, real shootouts were common
It’s true we lost too, but sometimes it was a win
Nowadays, I’m just dedicated to working

Of course, I love my family, but it also hurt
Rest in peace to the fallen who supported me
One or two fugitives that I change regions with
But we’re still in the fight and without Romeo on the mission

That fucking Rio Bravo, how beautiful
In the same one where dudes drown who play with me
I was always undisciplined, but I don’t justify myself
And those guys who help me, I never leave them alone

I’m not mad, dude, that’s how I walk
You take off my cuffs, I trust my word
I’m the same from Laredo, everyone calls me: The Uncle
If you change countries, I’ll meet you here at the river

I have my office here, focused on my work
From here, I behave well with all my workers
Several who gave their lives, I honor their favors
Because I remember well those who were in the worst

The friends I’ve lost, not all in battle
But we’re still in the fight in the highs and on the line
I don’t always have a good time, but they protect me in my cage
And the one who crossed the line, I also turned my back on

International data sometimes with the crew
My corridos sound live from the Tucanes de Tijuana
I send you an operation to patrol the area
They know I bring death buzzing in my caravan

I know I’m a warrior, that’s how I came
I left machines on purpose to train my marines
Those paths you mention, I used to escape
But one day I didn’t get away, and they chased the grays

Let my hallucinations touch solid ground
If those bastards knew, they’d better stop chasing me
I have no pact with anyone, I navigate well, and look
What I had to go through, but I never thought of giving up

Come close, if I get mad
By profession, a bandit, here at six my crew
If you think we’re alone, I bring the whole kit
And they’re all pure intelligence, my respect to the sergeants

Here I go, world, get ready
I don’t want to be like this, but damn that day
I see them in the countries, at my signal, break ranks
It’s not that I have control, but this comes from above

You know, and it’s on for the boss
Of Nuevo Laredo, of Nuevo Laredo
Special dedication
For Mr. Fori, Mr. Forty
