El Padrino Lyrics in English La 535 , Jan Glack, Jhay B

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Padrino by La 535 from Spanish to English.
In a Rubicon, Cayenne, Mercedes
All my crew active roll with a .50 in case someone dares
And I bring fugitives, the business looks like it should
Ties with the government, I'm buzzing from Thursday to Thursday
And in an armored ride that sends the codes to clear the way
Convoy of badass trucks roll with gunners up top and my godfather gives the orders
Well, to be the sh*t was because I never gave up
We're from Nectar Lima, the three letters rule, get ready for me
We're bloodthirsty and I fill my enemies with holes
I've always been straight and even though many say that the business is crooked
Well I won the turf thanks to my girl and also my family
Just with the last name they know instantly that the command is on top
And the man looked at me and said that I should come to the 35
I latched onto the blaze, I became hell's own and opened my paths
What soldiers, it's demons that have followed me
I'm rolling out on the highway, you know if they shoot at me I shoot back
And in an armored ride that sends the codes to clear the way
Convoy of badass trucks roll with gunners up top and my godfather gives the orders
Well, to be the sh*t was because I never gave up
We're from Nectar Lima, the three letters rule, get ready

SONG MEANING

Picture a high-octane action movie set to music: that is “El Padrino.” Over booming trap-corridor beats, La 535, Jan Glack, and Jhay B slip into the role of a modern cartel boss cruising in Rubicons, Cayennes, and bullet-proof SUVs. The lyrics paint a world of nonstop hustle — “de jueves a jueves” — where lavish cars, .50-caliber firepower, and coded radio calls clear the road for a powerful convoy. Loyalty runs deep: family, the padrino (godfather), and a crew of “demon” soldiers form an unbreakable shield while government connections keep the business running smoothly.

Beneath the swagger, the song celebrates resilience. The narrator boasts that he became “la verga” (the top dog) because he never quit, earning his territory (la plaza) through grit and the backing of loved ones. It is a brash ode to ambition in a dangerous underworld, glorifying the thrill of power, the fearlessness of facing enemies head-on, and the pride that comes from a name that commands instant respect. “El Padrino” is both a victory lap and a warning: step aside or be left full of huecos — bullet holes.
