El Efectivo

They say I'm being hunted
That I'm in some heavy trouble
But I’m still keeping my cool
I’ve got all my people sorted out
The payoff solves everything
You just gotta know how to manage it

Everything's done for the business
And that always pays off
It costs a lot but it’s necessary
Why pretend to be clueless?
It’s nice to roll with the big shots
And have them say: Good to see you

This isn’t anything new, folks
Nor is it going to end
This is just how it’s always been
It’s the mafia with global roots
You need money for everything
And the bosses love to spend

I’ve invested a lot of cash
But I know it’s been worth it
Because I have open doors
Cash is a really good key
Love is paid for monthly
And some you pay bi-weekly

Everyone calls me the cash guy
Because I rarely carry a checkbook
My office is wherever I stand
And my bank’s in the trunk
Money makes money
The payoff fixes problems

I don’t blame the one who takes the cash
Nor the one who gives the payoff
Everyone looks out for their own
And that’s respectable for each person
How nice it is to deal
Without having to pull a gun
