I have the support
From a Chapito that's really big
And despite the problems
Here I keep moving forward
I have the support
From a Chapito that's really big
And despite the problems
Here I keep moving forward
Sometimes I'm tired
And sometimes I'm sleepy
But I can't fail
Because I protect the boss
One day around Bamoa
And the next day he's already in Guasave
Visiting my friends
And a few relatives
I'm always real calm
I don't like the troublemakers
Even though I sometimes drink wine
I'm almost always dry
The lands of Guasave
Are already full of mochomos
And also of strong flowers
And tables that are for backup
Whoever didn't want to understand me
From the corrido that I sing to you
Let me explain to you
The badge that I carry
Chapo Isidro is the legacy
He's in charge of the command
They were born without fear
The kids do have balls
They suit up and their horns
Stutter in combat
Many trucks
The people already know them
They suit up and the horns
Only at whoever takes them on
I'm always real calm
I don't like the troublemakers
Even though I sometimes drink wine
I'm almost always dry
The lands of Guasave
Are already full of mochomos
And also of strong flowers
And tables that are for backup
Whoever didn't want to understand me
From the corrido that I sing to you
Let me explain to you
The badge that I carry
Chapo Isidro is the legacy
He's in charge of the command

SONG MEANING

El Apoyo is a modern corrido that feels like jumping into the passenger seat of a roaring pickup cruising through Sinaloa. El Chachito and Óscar Maydon sing from the perspective of a loyal guardian who enjoys the apoyo—the backing—of a powerful “chapito,” a clear nod to the feared Chapo Isidro. Even when tired or sleepy, our narrator refuses to drop his guard because protecting the boss is non-negotiable. The repeated lines “Aquí sigo pa delante” underline a spirit of stubborn perseverance and absolute loyalty.

The song doubles as a road map of the region, name-checking Bamoa and Guasave while painting vivid snapshots of life in the countryside: convoys of armored trucks, men in bulletproof vests, and the code of honor that keeps everyone in line. References to “mochomos” (ants, slang for gunmen) and “fuertes flores” (strong flowers, coded language for narcotics) add color to the landscape. At its core, El Apoyo is an ode to camaraderie, courage, and regional pride—an anthem for those who stick together no matter how rough the road gets.
