Verse 1

Comunicación encriptada pa que no conozcan las tácticas
Ya van llegando las rápidas
Andan checando el cuadro
Como las águilas en el cielo, movilizan bien sus pláticas

Del coptero va bajando, se subió a su jet privado
A Culiacán llegando y su casa del señorón
Pa trabajar ya saben quién soy yo
Jefe del puto mercado, Culiacán representando
