Tito Torbellino Jr. brings us "Cash Only," a corrido that's all about his journey and who he is now. He starts by saying this is for the people who were asking for it, ready to "revivir este corrido" [revive this corrido]. He talks about getting information and phone calls, and how he's known by his tattooed arms. He mentions being from "fresa Salazar" and associated with "la gente del parche o el piratas" [the patch people or the pirates], offering his references if you want them.

He shares his roots, born in Canelé with Nayarit blood, but moved when he was young. He describes still being seen on the streets and avenues, with his "Rafaela jasco" (which sounds like a special kind of car) and never being alone. He reflects on the past, saying "todo es tiempo pasado una cosa ya es diferente" [everything is in the past, one thing is already different]. Now, he's got "ramos de carro cargado con la clase que la cintura" [branches of loaded cars with class at the waist] and is surrounded by adventure. He mentions starting with nothing but now being on stage, changing clients to "puro jamaicos" [pure Jamaicans]. He talks about staying connected, getting a WhatsApp from his cousin for whatever he needs. He's had his ups and downs, even "me vestí de rayas" [I dressed in stripes] (which can mean prison clothes), but he's also been out and about. He credits his mother's blessing and the shadow of San Pedro for protecting him. He loves singing with the band and has a weakness for good things, sometimes red soles (fancy shoes) but preferring sneakers. He listens to corridos and doesn't regret anything, always there for a good friend. He says his story is known, some call him "el güerito" [the blonde one] and some "el empresario" [the businessman]. He warns not to be mistaken just because he's seen alone, because he has support and is always ready, as long as luck is on his side. He ends by saying, "Ay quedó lo corridos clásicos Pero lo primero corridos compras cierto" [There are the classic corridos, but the first corridos you buy, right?], a cool way to say he's bringing back that classic corrido vibe.
