TENDIDO Lyrics in English Tito Double P , Gabito Ballesteros

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song TENDIDO by Tito Double P from Spanish to English.
I pull out the flame and set fire to the poison
I hop in the ride and play a corrido that's good
I'm remembering the homies that left
It was their turn or they got careless, but that's how this is
Tinted, you can't see anything inside
Stash open with the Glock plus some cash
I carry a badge, if they stop me I shake them off quick
If they're the water guys I don't check, I just hit the gas
And it rings, the girl calls me, asking that I buy her a drink
That she's bored and the boyfriend's over on the other side
Here goes mine, I'm free right now
I took off flat out, not imagining it was a setup
Homie Tito!
Hit it, man
Pedal down, needle above 200
With two stops, the pharmacy and then the liquor shop
Pretty lit, the stereo blasting loud
I turn off the radio and report to the company that I'm sick
And it rings, the girl who's waiting for me calls me
That she's already ready and the boyfriend hasn't even shown up
I'm coming, babe
In fact, I'm pulling up right now
I was left sprawled, 'cause as I arrived they gunned me down

SONG MEANING

Tendido drops the listener straight into a high-octane night on Mexico’s highways. The narrator lights a cigarette, cranks up a corrido, and hits the gas while riding with tinted windows, a Glock, and cash in the dash. Every detail – from remembering fallen friends to dodging police checkpoints – paints the picture of someone living on the edge, where adrenaline and danger mix with a swaggering sense of invincibility.

Just when it seems like the night might turn into a carefree rendezvous with a flirtatious caller, the story takes a sharp turn. The protagonist races to meet the woman, only to discover too late that her invitation is a setup. Betrayal rings louder than the stereo, and he is left “tendido” – lying on the ground, shot down by an ambush he never saw coming. The song captures the thrill and the tragic cost of a life that runs on speed, risk, and blurred loyalties.
