El Poder y La Traición

They entered the house without a search warrant
They beat up my bosses, shit got real ugly
This is my statement in case I don't see them again
What I'm telling you is 100% true

It was July 6th, Wednesday morning
Everything was normal, my week continued
I had no idea what awaited me
I went upstairs to check on the boss

She said: Hey, dude, go see what the dogs are up to
Are they hungry or why are they restless?
I went down to feed Bongo, Tokio, and Homer
That's when I saw about 10 assholes by the gate

Dressed in plain clothes with no IDs
The kind that bust up places for cash
Without explanations, they're breaking down the door
Then my old lady comes down to see what's going on

The power and the betrayal are serious business
But in this city, nothing surprises me
Sad to lose friendship over some cash
Can't even trust your own shadow anymore

They broke the locks, invaded the house
I said: Wait, wait, chill out, buddy
Show me the warrant or the evidence that backs it up
Back off or I'll call the cops, damn it

I am the law, don't have a warrant or anything
Don't get cocky or you'll be screwed
They threatened my boss, my boss right away
And kicked down the front door

Then I look up and they're heading upstairs
More than 10 armed guys, gave me goosebumps
So much helplessness, my adrenaline spiked
Upstairs, my girl and niece are alone

The power and the betrayal are serious business
But in this city, nothing surprises me
Sad to lose friendship over some cash
Can't even trust your own shadow anymore

I run to the kitchen, hear them shouting
Leave him, why are you hitting him?
I couldn't control myself, took it out without thinking
Needed four guys to subdue me

Better watch your attitude, buddy, things can go south
If we want, we can plant some kilos of crystal on you
Straight to jail, at least six months
Either get lost or we'll frame you for more crimes

Damn corruption, long live Mexico, asshole
Can't believe it, they took our place
Left us on the street, ruined and with no choice
Here ends my statement

The power and the betrayal are serious business
But in this city, everything is for sale
Even the cops are up for grabs
Everything can be bought if you have the cash

They entered the house without a search warrant
They beat up my bosses, shit got real ugly
This is my statement in case I don't see them again
What I'm telling you is 100% true

The power and the betrayal are serious business
But in this city, nothing surprises me
Sad to lose friendship over some cash
Can't even trust your own shadow anymore
