lyrics

EL CHAPO (Smegal)

This here’s a song for you my friend
Down in the fields of Mexico
You died there by el Chapo’s hand
Over a seed you wouldn’t grow

Yeah I swear to you
You did not die in vain
Yeah el Chapo I swear
You’ll share their pain
I can promise you the same

This here’s a song for you my friend
Out on patrol on the Rio Grande
You died there in a gun battle
Over the contents of a van

Chorus

This here’s a song for you my friend
Down in the ghetto on the corner
You died there in a drive-by
Yeah they said you turned informer

Yeah I swear to you
You did not die in vain
Yeah el Chapo I swear
You’ll share their pain
‘Cause I’m the man
Who put them in their graves
El Chapo, I swear
You’ll share their pain
Boy, i promise you the same
