Cagapalos is La Santa Grifa at his most cheeky, with GH riding along. The hook says it all: "Señores, yo no soy tan malo, pero sí soy bien cagapalo" (Gentlemen, I'm not that bad, but I'm a real cagapalo). In Mexican slang cagar el palo means to mess with people, to be the annoying one who ruins the moment, so a cagapalo is a troublemaker who enjoys being one.
Most of the song is a running feud with the vecina (the neighbour lady). She calls him the worst, but he fires back that her daughter runs with his crew and her husband stumbles home drunk. He even says "vi que va a la tienda a pedir fiado" (I saw her go to the store to buy on credit), which is classic neighbourhood gossip. He jokes about Laura Bozzo, the TV talk-show host, and swears he'll keep rapping "hasta que muera Chabelo" (until Chabelo dies), a Mexican joke because the children's TV star Chabelo seemed to live forever.
Expect a lot of smoke and swearing: "no me canso de fumar marihuana" (I never get tired of smoking weed), and quemo el sacate means burning the grass, that is, smoking. It is crude, loud and very funny if you like barrio rap, and it is a crash course in Mexican street slang like güey, carnal (brother) and pedos (trouble).
