The patrol drives through my neighborhood
It's crazy hour, gunshots are heard
I hear rumors they're looking for me
They crowned me and now I'm in charge
I got reasons to be the devil
From a b*tch of a life and bitter moments
Nobody's on my good side, and it's not that big a deal
I'm talking about my own skin, if they touch me, they're going down
We went from a Sierra to a new Rolls-Royce
The thick chains are seen hanging
I've walked through fire, I've even been robbed
No saint shed a tear for the pockets of so many
I was, I am and I will be
They call me 'The King'
And even captain of the ship
I was a disaster growing up
I built my company
I'm burning good weed
F*ck yeah, man
And where I'm from
Not many get out alive
Much less as millionaires
Uh-huh, on another level
They criticize, make excuses, ask for favors
Not borders, nor 2 scumbags stopped me
We f*cking worked, we made it and here we are
Long live my people, we're 100% Mexican
The streets are a b*tch and they cause havoc
From the dude who kills for a few cents
Sit down and listen, 'cause it's nothing strange
Traits of evil men walking alone through my hood
I was, I am and I will be
They call me 'The King'
And even captain of the ship
I was a disaster growing up
I built my company
I'm burning good weed
F*ck yeah, man
Welcome
Just so they can talk

cachuchacap / position of power

Cachucha literally means "cap" or "hat". However, in the context of this song, it's used as a slang term to refer to a position of power or authority.

The lyric "Me pusieron la cachucha y ahora yo me encuentro al mando" translates to "They put the cap on me and now I'm in charge." This metaphorical use of cachucha makes it an interesting and unique word choice, hinting at the protagonist's rise to power within their neighborhood.

"Mi Vecindario" opens with a patrol car rolling through the block — "La patrulla pasa por mi vecindario" [The patrol drives through my neighborhood] — and stays planted on that same street for the rest of the song. Fuerza Regida's narrator has been handed the run of the neighborhood, "Me pusieron la cachucha y ahora yo me encuentro al mando" [They crowned me and now I'm in charge], and treats every rumor and gunshot as proof the position is his to keep.

The bravado that follows is built from specific, everyday images rather than vague toughness: he's traded an old truck for something better, "Pasamos de Sierra, a un doble RR del año" [We went from a Sierra to a new Rolls-Royce], and keeps a joint going through it all, "Buena yerba voy quemando" [I'm burning good weed]. The song closes on plain pride in where he's from — "Que viva mi raza, somos 100% Mexicanos" [Long live my people, we're 100% Mexican] — turning a song about one block into a statement about an entire community.
