How much time crushing stone

So that it could be given to me, so that it could be given to me

I put my name up and gained respect

So that they could be measured, so that they could be measured

When it comes to talking to me, I'm not just anyone

But if anyone flips their flag

I'm not full of friends because I prefer

Fill the wallet and that evil is not left

Strapped around the waist is a Glock

It is his responsibility to take care of the boss

And so you know, here I am the boss

One hundred and eighty humming the Tacomón

And if they saw me passing through the city

With three trucks behind, presidential

Don't worry, it's just security, I know how to take care of myself

The boss position is given to me, I don't talk too much

I don't even like to talk about the fair, because I don't care

Because I know that things never go wrong, I know how to generate

And just as they arrive, they leave, I direct the plan

So that the bale rounds, here the clan is in charge

Strapped around the waist is a Glock

It is his responsibility to take care of the boss

And so you know, here I am the boss

One hundred and eighty humming the Tacomón

And if they saw me passing through the city

With three trucks behind, presidential

Don't worry, it's just security, I know how to take care of myself

The boss position is given to me, I don't talk too much

I don't even like to talk about the fair, because I don't care

Because I know that things never go wrong, I know how to generate

And just as they arrive, they leave, I direct the plan

So that the bale rounds, here the clan is in charge

Tacomón — Big Tacoma (slang)

Tacomón is a fascinating example of Spanish slang, especially in regional Mexican music. It's a playful augmentation of "Tacoma," referring to the popular Toyota Tacoma pickup truck.

The suffix "-ón" is often used in Spanish to denote something large or impressive, so "Tacomón" implies a big, powerful, or souped-up Tacoma. In the context of the song, "Ciento ochenta zumbando el Tacomón" paints a vivid picture of a large truck speeding at 180 (likely km/h), highlighting the character's status and fast-paced lifestyle.

In "Por La Ciudad," Virlan Garcia paints a picture of a man who has achieved success through sheer hard work, or as he puts it, by "chipping away at stone" for a long time. He's not just anyone; he has earned respect and made a name for himself. The song's narrator is a boss, and he wants everyone to know it. He cruises through the city in a fast truck, with a presidential-style security detail of three more trucks following him. This isn't just for show; he carries a Glock for protection and makes it clear: "And just so you know, I'm the boss here."

This powerful status comes with a certain mindset. He prefers filling his wallet to filling his life with friends, aware that anyone can be disloyal. He's confident in his ability to generate wealth, so much so that he doesn't even bother counting his money. The song is a bold declaration of power, success, and self-reliance, describing a lifestyle where being the boss comes naturally and constant vigilance is a part of the job.
