That I like corridos and banda

That I wake up in the craziness and the spree

It's not for nothing, I've fought uphill

So I treat myself along with my crew

That I like corridos and banda

That I wake up in the craziness and the spree

It's not for nothing, I've fought uphill

So I treat myself along with my crew

In Reynosa I have the base of operations

Los Tucanes have played my songs

And I'm straight even if they see me walking crooked

And they respect my nickname, I'm El Chirico, you bast*rds

I've got schooling, I've got it from lineage

And with f*cking blows I've earned what I have

From my father I always keep a good memory

I've always taken him into account and followed his advice

Danger goes with me wherever I go

I'm from the Gulf, don't think I'm a nobody

And in the bag you see slung on me here

With the magazines full

I always carry the plated piece

And the tree keeps on giving

With Los Dos de Tamaulipas, fellas

Pure Finarte Music

I'm from a ranch that I haven't forgotten

A big shout-out to Estación Manuel

Beto Tres, you that watch over me from above

You know well that for my people

I give my life without thinking

Buddy Toto, I remember you very often

You know the appreciation that I have for you

Here we are at a million, you already know it

Always guarding the plaza

And whoever doesn't believe that, let him try

I've got schooling, I've got it from lineage

And with f*cking blows I've earned what I have

From my father I always keep a good memory

I've always taken him into account and followed his advice

Danger goes with me wherever I go

I'm from the Gulf, don't think I'm a nobody

And in the bag you see slung on me here

With the magazines full

I always carry the plated piece

SONG MEANING

La Chapeada is a swagger-filled corrido where the singer, nicknamed El Chirico, proudly lays out his life story. He tells us he loves corridos and banda, parties until sunrise, and has fought “uphill” to build his reputation. With Reynosa as his operations base, he name-drops famous groups that play his songs, salutes his hometown ranch, and honors both his father’s advice and friends who have passed. All of this frames a picture of loyalty, family pride, and regional roots that run deep in Mexico’s Gulf Coast.

At the same time, the lyrics reveal the ever-present edge of danger. El Chirico reminds listeners he is “no ordinary guy” and keeps la chapeada—a trusted, well-polished rifle—slung over his shoulder with magazines full. That weapon becomes a symbol of the vigilance required in his world. Altogether, the song blends celebration and caution: it is a brag, a tribute, and a warning wrapped in one catchy, hard-driving anthem.
