(Verse 1)
Q-vo, aquí estoy, MC Kid Frost
Yo soy jefe, matón, yes the Big Boss
My cuete's loaded it's full of valas
I put it in your face and you won't say nada
Vatos cholos you call us what you will
You say we are assassins
that you been trying to kill
It's in my blood to be an Aztec warrior
Go to any extreme and hold no barriers
Chicano - and I'm brown and proud
Want this chingazos, simón ese let's get down
Right now, in the dirt
What's da matter? You 'fraid you gonna get hurt?
I'm with my homeboys, my ties my camaradas
Keepin' back con mi ganga, y pa mi no dige nada
Yo soy chingón ese Like Al Capone ese
Controlo a todos so don't ever try to sweat me
Some of you don't know what's happenin' qué pasa
Not for you anyway
Cuz this is for La Raza...
(Chorus) This for La Raza, Raza... (x 2)
(Verse 2)
The (foreign?) (form of?) tongue I'm speaking is known as calo
Y sabes que loco? Yo soy muy malo
Tu no sabes nada your business hollow
Been hit in the head too many times with a palo
Still you are trying to act cool, but you shit no
You're so cool that I'm a call you a culo
You're just a pibe - you can get nuthin' ever
you're leva
Your own barrio doesn't back you up
they just look at your ass and call you a poo butt
And so I'm look an I laugh and say qué pasa...
he he... yeah... this is for La Raza... Raza, raza...
(Verse 3)
Cruisin' in the calle, headed for the volo
No one to go with me so I had ta go solo
And when I go out alone I pack
I ? all the chavalas when I know that I'm strapped
Everytime that I pack my piece, I pull it out quick all the nonsense will
cease
Just like the song when you're 18 with a bullet
Got my finger on the trigger, I'm not afraid to pull it
If it gets outta hand I know some mafiosos with the pulled out cuentes on
some stupid ass baboso
Sittin there wonderin what's happenin qué pasa
yeah... This is for La Raza... Raza... (x 2)
