Quisimos Calar La Tierra
Los Tucanes de Tijuana
We Wanted to Test the Land
With a liter of seeds
He arrived in the States
But it was high-grade stuff
Not corn or wheat
It was weed seeds
And he was a pro at growing.
He met an American
Who had a ranch in the hills
He laid out the situation
In a thousand different ways
Until the gringo said
You can have all my land.
They started planting
And after a few months, they harvested
They did well to start
They pulled in several kilos
They sold it for a good price
And kept on planting.
They were kings of the weed
And thanks to their guts
They managed to make a deal
With the sheriff of the area
And one day, looking for other dealers
The DEA caught them.
They took them in
For the judge to decide
And in court, they ask them
Why are you messing up our hills?
And the Mexican replies
We wanted to test the land.
