El Primero

Here are the real folks of Mr. Mencho
Up with the four that own the land
The Jalisco cartel from that Michoacán guy
That the Americans are hunting down
They wouldn’t have let him go if they realized
When he fell in 1990

The tactical team and armored trucks
Designed for the confrontations
My crew is well-prepared
Trained up in the camps
I left them a clear message
My signature with the initials CJNG

The alphas, the deltas, and the elites too
Ready for when they’re needed
Masters of terror and the gardener crew
Ready to clash when the first one says so
And nothing goes down if it’s not ordered first
Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes

Jalisco, Guerrero, and also Guanajuato
Territories controlled by the top four
Over there in Colima and also Michoacán
My troops are well-controlled
Don’t believe all the fake news
Sometimes the reports fall short

Among comrades, remember Merino
He was a good buddy and had some love for him
But you rarely see him drinking
With a clear mind to stay in charge
Always alert during operations
Full speed ahead like the planes

If I die fighting, that was my fate
That’s how this life is, I chose the path
I loved the gunfire and left my exploits
I was born to get tangled up in the game
Like a soldier, they’ll shoot me if I fail
At the order from above, the Lord of the Roosters
