If you're poor, people humiliate you

If you're rich, they treat you well

A friend got involved in the mafia

Because he didn't want to be poor anymore

Now he has plenty of money

They pay him by the sackful every month

Everyone calls him "El Centenario"

Because of the jewel that shines on his chest

Now everyone sees him differently

His contempt has ended

Just because he drives a new car

They see him with the sign of pesos

The gabacho government is after him

But he doesn't stop working

He goes to the angels often

And comes back with a lot of money

He received orders from above

And fulfills them no matter what

He got used to danger

And that's why he's not afraid of anything

He cruises around in a Corvette

In Tijuana and Guadalajara

In Los Angeles and San Francisco

And also in Las Vegas, Nevada

He makes money with the mafia

But it takes courage

Because there's no family connection here

No mistakes are allowed

Whenever he's risking his neck

With the law or with the boss
