Narco corridos

Coka mythology, murder world
Uncle Howie in the big park
The other kids knew the shit
That he sparked

Crack is the new shit on the block
They pitched and he copped
Lost his mind, got high as fuck
And lit up the spot

So when I caught him
Smoking crack in my crib, I kicked him out
Almost kicked his ass
But then I decided not to for what?

Then he bounced with a tear in his eye
I remember thinking the next time
I see his face I hope he's alive

So lost in the excitement, no shame
Fuck society's indictments
And fuck you too if you don't like it
That's his attitude, that's his outlook
In and out of Riker's Island
All throughout my childhood

A wild dude, I've done every drug you can name
Except dope and crack cocaine
I gotta thank Uncle Howie for that
After seeing what he did to his life I stepped back
Thank God I never got caught up or went back

But weed is still a problem, I'm hooked on kush
Hooked on chronic, rolling up the purple in the blunt
I'm Chinese in the eyes, Lebanese with the nines
American with the rhymes, Brooklyn till I die

Esto son corridos de los más idos, los más locos
Y son pocos, lo que no están torcidos
A los narcos borrachos y cocodrilos

No escogimos la vida simplemente fuimos nacidos
Sé que la vida es dura y siempre está la duda
Yo sigo siendo quien soy hasta que deje viuda

He was a Mexican, first generation, the kid was 10
Used to play tools and mix booze for pop and his friends
A mixmaster, yeah the kid was nice with the blends
Just ice with two Cokes, a Super Socko with gin

The streets saw a future narco in him
He saw his father's bad habits
And went to cycle following them
The bottle and the women and sin
And the domestic violence
The silence of the music when it begins

The alcohol was a part of his life
Bigger than Christ
'Cause when he needed to cope
He turned to the vice

From a teen pregnancy
To when his brother died twice
He kept rolling the dice
Under the influence rise

He went from this close to killing himself
To barely dodging death
The scent of some liquor
Probably taint his last breath

I feel less sympathy as time pass
The more I see his reflection
Every time I look in the glass

Esto son corridos de los más idos, los más locos
Y son pocos, lo que no están torcidos
A los narcos borrachos y cocodrilos

No escogimos la vida simplemente fuimos nacidos
Sé que la vida es dura y siempre está la duda
Yo sigo siendo quien soy hasta que deje viuda
