Billete Grande Lyrics in English Fuerza Regida , Edgardo Nunez

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Billete Grande by Fuerza Regida from Spanish to English.
From Culiacán, Sinaloa, with my buddy Edgardo
From the original corridos
Hell yeah buddy Jesús, and pure Fuerza Regida
Let's roll hard then
Come on then, man
Not everything came easy to me, I also suffered a lot
Walking down the street barefoot, my feet burn
I asked my Saint Jude while I held back hunger
Verse 1
I'm from a poor family, someone had to hustle
My dreams were clear and the goals ahead
I flipped the coin, I wanted big money
Thanks for the lessons, Don Roque, I'm on point
You know that I won't slack, we'll keep moving forward
Several years have passed and I no longer go hungry
Chorus 1
And it changed, call after call kept hitting the phone
Now it's my turn, I don't turn back anymore
Wearing the cap of the Guzmán Salazar
Verse 2
Go buddy Jesús
In the game there are many tricks, you have to study it
No matter how many friends you have, they won't teach you the code
They don't wanna see you on top and they wanna leave you down
In searching so much, life has taken something important from me
That night isn't forgotten, how I suffered a lot
The shots in the Tahoe, may my brother rest in peace
Chorus 2
And it changed, call after call kept hitting the phone
Now it's my turn, I don't turn back anymore
Wearing the cap of the Guzmán Salazar
That's right my buddy, they're nothing but pure Fuerza Regida, big guy
F*ck yeah man, and long live the street mafia
Long live Culiacán, Sinaloa, cousin
Alright bro

SONG MEANING

Billete Grande throws you into the raw, adrenaline-charged world of modern corrido tumbado. Fuerza Regida’s Jesús Ortiz Paz teams up with rising Mexican-American voice Edgardo Núñez to deliver a street diary that starts with barefoot hunger in Culiacán and ends with pockets full of “big bills.” Over the pulse of tuba and requinto, the narrator thanks San Juditas for strength, shouts out mentor Don Roque, and proudly dons a Guzmán-Salazar cap—a nod to the notorious Sinaloan underworld that fuels many corrido legends.

At its core, the song is a gritty motivational anthem. It balances the thrill of hard-won success with the weight of sacrifice: the singer studies the “game,” mistrusts fake friends, and mourns a brother lost to violence. Every ringing phone call signals how far he has come, yet every lyric reminds us of the price paid along the way. Billete Grande is both a celebration of ambition and a cautionary tale set to the unmistakable swagger of regional Mexican music’s new wave.
