The Centennial

El Centenario

If you're broke, people humiliate youSi eres pobre te humilla la gente
If you're rich, they treat you real niceSi eres rico te tratan muy bien
A friend got into the mobUn amigo se metio ala mafia
Because he didn't want to be poor no morePor que pobre ya no quizo ser
Now he's got money to spareAhora tiene dinero de sobra
They pay him by the sackful every monthPor costales le pagan al mes

They all call him the centennialTodos le dicen el centenario
For the jewel that shines on his chestPor la joya que alumbra su pecho
Now everyone sees him differentlyAhora todos lo ven diferente
All his scorn has disappearedSe acabaron todos sus desprecios
Just because he drives a brand-new carNomas por que trae carro del año
They see him with the dollar signYa lo ven con el signo de pesos

The government chases after himLo persigue el gobierno gabacho
But he doesn't stop workingPero el no deja de trabajar
He goes to LA all the timeA los angeles va a cada rato
And comes back with a ton of cashY regresa con un dineral
He gets orders from aboveEl recibe ordenes desde arriva
And he fulfills them no matter whatY las cumple a como de lugar

He's gotten used to dangerAl peligro ya se acostumbro
And that's why he's not afraid of anythingY por eso no le teme a nada
He cruises around in a corvetteEn un corvette se pasea tranquilo
Through Tijuana and GuadalajaraPor tijuana y por guadalajara
Through LA and San FranciscoPor los angeles y san francisco
And also through Las Vegas, NevadaY tambien por las vegas nevada

In the mob, you make moneyEn la mafia se gana dinero
But you need couragePero se necesita valor
Because there's no family ties herePor que aqui no hay ningun parentezco
No room for any mistakesNo se permite ningun error
You're always risking your neckSiempre te anbdas rifando el pellejo
With the law or with the bossCon la leyes o con el señor
