Get ready to ride along with Grupo Codiciado in "Asi Es El Sistema"! This song throws you right into the action, following a group of individuals who are always on alert. They're "bien montado, bien pegado al radio" [well-mounted, glued to the radio], constantly watching out for "contrarios" [opponents]. Our narrator is wearing a bulletproof vest daily and is out on patrol, even mentioning "las patrullas, del gobierno mentado" [the patrols, of the mentioned government].
It's a fast-paced look at their world, where they patrol neighborhoods and have a clear message: "Si jalas derecho, no te molestamos / Pero al que la deba, lo correteamos" [If you play fair, we don't bother you / But whoever owes, we chase them down]. They're trained for firefights, with "fuertes balaceras, bajas hay a diario" [strong shootouts, casualties daily], often operating in Tijuana. The song builds tension with radio calls like "Vengase pareja, que me están hablando / Por el radio se escucha, la vos del comando" [Come on partner, they're calling me / On the radio, the voice of command is heard], and the urgent cries of "Llegamos en cinco, gritan los muchachos" [We arrive in five, the guys shout]. It's a blunt portrayal of their reality, where they acknowledge, "No todos son buenos, no todos son malos / Así es el sistema, es nuestro trabajo" [Not everyone is good, not everyone is bad / That's how the system is, it's our job]. They're just doing what they have to do.
