El Manny Flores

He's a very calm man
But also very brave
He's moving his kilos around
Working at 120

With his people and his friends
He stays up all night
Listening to his corridos
And spending money

He was born over there in Durango
Land of great stories
A man very much in love
Always with a different girlfriend

He's always seen surrounded
By his supportive people
All very well dressed
Elegant and stylish

They've tried to kill him
But they've been wrong
They've had bad luck
They've messed with the devil

The Duranguense is very fierce
He hasn't forgiven them
So 2 or 3 times
He's shot his gun

'Here goes, buddy Manny
And up Durango, cousin'

When the businesses grow
The envious ones don't miss
Beware of those people
They're just like still waters

They betray you suddenly
See how they are
You have to confront them head-on
If they stab you in the back

I don't have anyone to boss me around
I work on my own
I don't answer to anyone
I'm the boss of my company

My crew doesn't back down
We have to distribute the merchandise
Four shipments have arrived
2 of powder and 2 of herb

Houston, Dallas, San Antonio
Corpus, Austin, and Laredo
Here we are working
Even if the white guys get mad

I'm Manuel from Durango
To serve you, comrades
We'll stay in touch
Here in Texas, I'm the man
