And they are called metaphysical corridos

So that they pay attention to the lyrics, my old man

And let the bandona sound again, old man

These corridos tell the pure truth

And up Mexico, fuck mother

How sad it makes me to know that if you don't bring money, they don't respect you

Fucking society is based on what shines and what it appears

You can be the most false, but if you wear a mask in front of people

Everyone believes your story, and if you're shit, no one notices

Here's a message for my mom

Good friendships became extinct along with the dinosaurs

And if I talk about loyalty, I thank my 'amá, who has never failed me

I have a loyal friend, who earned his place, and now I call him brother

Maybe he is not of my blood, but he has behaved as if he were

You have to be selective, because not everyone brings the same vibe

There are very ordinary people, who just come closer to see what the hell

First they ask for a hand and when you give it to them

They want to wet your foot, just to see how you walk later

And that cry of my Mexican people

Get off, old man

The cry for my friend Raúl

There you go, my brother

Vibes never lie, and the sixth sense is never wrong

You have to stay away from people who throw shit out of their mouths

Those who speak for the sake of speaking will be punished, but that is another thing

Each person chooses the problem they want to deal with

To see who's who the falls and the bad times were made

Because under pressure the highest priced diamonds were made

There is money for everyone, but not everyone likes a peso

Power and fame, when you are not prepared, make you very stupid

And at my young age, I can assure you, I have already seen it all

Rich people who become poor and poor people who become rich wanting everything

Nobody values anything, and they want more money

I thank God that with life and health I enjoy my present

Just like that, my old man

And it's all thanks to God, my friend

Grupo Firme call this one a "corrido metafísico" (a metaphysical corrido), which is a fancy way of saying: listen to the words, because this is a song of life lessons, not a party song. The big one is in the title line: "Las buenas amistades se extinguieron junto con los dinosaurios" (good friendships went extinct along with the dinosaurs). It is a funny image and a bitter one.

The rest is a list of grudges against a world that only respects money. "Si no traes pasta, no te respetan" (if you don't have dough, they don't respect you); pasta is slang for cash. People wear a "careta" (a mask) and everyone buys the act. There is a great line about fake friends: "Primero piden mano y cuando se la brindas, quieren mocharte el pie" (first they ask for a hand, and when you give it, they want to chop off your foot). Mochar is Mexican Spanish for cutting off.

It is not all sour. He thanks his mom, "mi 'amá", for never failing him, and a friend who is not blood but acts like a brother. The diamond line is a nice one too: "bajo presión se hicieron los diamantes" (diamonds were made under pressure). Fair warning: the language is rough, with chingada, puta and pendejo all making an appearance, and the live shouts to mi compa Raúl (Raúl Beltrán, the featured singer) keep reminding you this was recorded on stage.
