Since I remember, I always wanted to be a gangster

Yeah, yeah

So many rich kids playing at being poor

And so many poor children dreaming of being rich

It wasn't my turn, but I'll explain

Lend me a bale, I'll multiply it

No one can reach us because of how we manufacture

Business drives me, quality traffic

My handwriting in the sky, my face in the news

The usual bum, franchise player

My handwriting in the sky, my face is news

The storm along my path ended up becoming a breeze

If a friend doesn't fall, in the neighborhood they offer him mass

On Sunday they go with flowers to pray our fathers

They will do the same to you if you mess with us

The usual bum, franchise player

My handwriting in the sky, my face is news

I'm in a hurry, don't stop me, I'm on the loose

Up from the Mustang shooting I'm back

I don't even have time for regrets

I take a good look at my people toasting happiness

And at full concerts, the agenda overwhelms me

But that's what we are for, I only know how to do sums

Keep quiet and don't show them off

Blacklist position as Featherweight

I grew up with lions and bad deeds

Guns, immigrants and role in the cannons

Full shift they are my bodyguard

Know your value when life saves you

Whoever comes out, I'm ready, the whole team

Be careful how you talk to me, you're not talking just any guy

I explain? Check out the misunderstandings

If they understand you wrong they will leave you lying

The usual bum, franchise player

My handwriting in the sky, my face is news

The usual bum, franchise player

My handwriting in the sky, my face is news

Did you like this lyrics translation?

"Gangster" opens with a confession: "Desde que recuerdo, siempre quise ser gangster" (For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster). Gera MX plays the character all the way through, and the best line is the first verse's flip: "Tanto niño rico jugando a ser pobre / Y tanto niño pobre soñando ser rico" (So many rich kids playing at being poor, and so many poor kids dreaming of being rich). The hook calls him "el vago de siempre, jugador franquicia" (the same old slacker, a franchise player), the sports term for the star a team is built around.

The rest is swagger with a threat underneath. He is "arriba del Mustang" (up in the Mustang), his "letra en el cielo" (lyrics in the sky) and his "cara es noticia" (face is news). He even name-checks Peso Pluma, the Mexican corridos star: "Cargo lista negra como Peso Pluma" (I carry a blacklist like Peso Pluma). The ending is a clever bit of wordplay: "malentendidos" (misunderstandings) turns into "te van a dejar tendido" (they will leave you laid out), so a misunderstanding here can get you killed.
