Bad Weed

Yerba Mala

He who believes that bad weed doesn't dieEl que cree que yerba mala no muere
Should count those who have already goneQue cuente a los que ya se han ido

Bad weed took his metalsYerba Mala cogió sus metales
Leaving in his Lexus for the patron saint festivalsSaliendo es su lexus pa' la patronales
To see if he could spot the guys who had robbed at his spotA ver si veía a los tipos que habían robao' en su punto

He searched for them in the big citiesLos buscó por las grandes ciudades
And as Christmas approachedY cuando se acercaban las navidades
He could send them walking down the street all togetherLos pudo mandar caminando en la calle a toditos juntos

From afar, shots were heard coming from the 9 and the 30-30Y de lejos se oyeron tiros saliendo de la 9 y la 30-30
Bad weed managed to make death fall on them like a stormYerba mala pudo lograr que la muerte les cayera como tormenta
And a little boy who saw everything ran to hide in a storeY un niñito que lo vio todo corrio para esconderse en una tienda
And bad weed went to take cover in the 5th amendmentY yerba mala se fue a cubrir en la 5ta enmienda

The little boy grew little by littleEl niñito creció poco a poco
And got involved in that crazy worldY se fue involucrando en ese mundo loco
Where the corners smell like leadDonde las esquinas apestan a plomo
And the bodies like bloodY los cuerpos a sangre

They put it in his headLe metieron dentro e' la cabeza
Those who worked on top of the tableLos que trabajaban encima e' la mesa
That to climb up you always startQue para montarse siempre se empieza
By knowing the big oneConociendo al grande

And that little boy who was already a manY aquel niñito que ya era un hombre
Didn't stop until he found a good payNo paró hasta encontrarse una buena paga
And that was the best thing he did to be able to reunite with bad weedY ese fue lo mejor que hizo pa' poder reencontrarse con yerba mala
Bad weed told him to come in and sit with him here in my roomYerba mala le dijo pasa y siéntate conmigo aquí en mi sala
And handed him a .45 with many bulletsY le entregó una 45 con muchas balas

With the gun, the young man confronted bad weedCon el arma el jovencito a yerba mala confrontó
And shouting he asked if he rememberedY gritando le preguntó que si se acordaba
The massacre that as a child he organized in his own neighborhoodDe la masacre que cuando niño en su propio barrio organizó
And that his father was among the victimsY que su padre entre las víctimas se encontraba

And aiming, he shot (he died)Y apuntando le disparó (se murió)
And bad weed fell to the ground (he died)Y yerba mala al piso cayó (se murió)
He didn't confess his sin (he was lost)Su pecado no confesó (se perdió)
And his soul was not saved (listen)Y su alma no se salvó (oyeló)

How could he imagineComo podría imaginar
That the young man was going to shoot himQue el jovencito le iba a tirar
The same day he would give him the trust to workEl mismo día que le daría la confianza pa' trabajar

The boy left from there (he fled)El muchacho de ahí salió (se fugó)
And took over the spot (he took it)Y con el punto se quedó (lo cogió)
And everyone respected him (it broke)Y todo el mundo lo respetó (se rompió)
Upon learning what happened (listen)Al saber lo que sucedió (oyeló)

His flag came to plantSu bandera vino a plantar
And who was going to criticize himY quién lo iba a criticar
If those who kill are the ones who liveSi los que matan son los que viven
And the dead one will be buriedY el que está muerto se va a enterrar

Bad weed has already been forgottenYerba mala ya fue olvidado
Just like those he himself had eliminatedIgual que los que él mismo había eliminado
And the beautiful plans he had dreamed of are undergroundY los planes bonitos que había soñado están bajo tierra

And a nephew who idolized himY un sobrino que lo idolatraba
Has a tremendous revenge already plannedTremenda venganza ya tiene planeada
Living in the story that never endsViviendo en el cuento que nunca se acaba
And another war beginsY empieza otra guerra

Another war begins, heyEmpieza otra guerra, oooye
The same thing is repeatedQue se repite la misma cosa
Because Bad Weed does diePues Yerba Mala si muere
