SC-9 Lyrics in English Yahir Saldivar

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song SC-9 by Yahir Saldivar from Spanish to English.
I'm patrolling and in a spot they look at me
The chimichanga, I have my gang
I'm scorpion 9 for all my race
Handcrafted is the armor and it doesn't penetrate
That I'm working and that I'm enjoying it
Affirmative, that's why I work
From the 100-50 I'm in charge
The federal wagon sees that I'm not here
With a slingshot I go excited
And a little walk to be well activated
A sip of whisky to party
Changing trucks, I have a variety of cars
A horn of disco always accompanies me
Let them see the power we bring in the morning
By Benjamin Gaona I close the square
Three or four days is how long I last in the binge
And why not, and why not
With much respect
Scorpion 9
The chimichanga
I have more than enough support from bosses
Through those trails the heavily armored vehicles are seen
The green light is here in the mirror
And if there's a checkpoint, they know 9 goes first
Permission, permission if I hit the radio
Let the shots in, they're everywhere
A hundred rounds for all the boys
To be alert and not run into trouble
My people coordinate and watch my steps
And I entrust myself when work comes my way
38 super tucked in here I bring
Gold chain and relaxed little bracelet
Sports car to the front and I don't stop
And my corrido of altered commands
I am the chimichanga and have it very clear
That I am the 9 and scorpion I am a command
And why not, and why not, and why not

SONG MEANING

SC-9 plunges us into the high-octane world of Escorpión 9, a cartel commander who proudly calls himself “La Chimichanga.” Over a driving norteño beat, he narrates his nightly patrols, armored convoys, and a personal arsenal that ranges from a .38 Súper to a “cuerno de disco” (AK-47 with a drum magazine). The song is part boast, part field report: Escorpión 9 coordinates radio codes, blocks highways around Benjamin Gaona, and flexes the protection he gets from powerful “jefes” while chasing the twin thrills of gunfire and all-night fiestas fueled by whisky and quick hits of cocaine.

Beneath the swagger, the lyrics reveal the delicate balance of cartel life—constant vigilance, absolute loyalty, and the ever-present threat of a “topón” (shoot-out). Slang-rich lines give listeners a street-level glossary of modern narco-culture, while the energetic arrangement keeps the story fun and danceable. In short, SC-9 is a raw, cinematic corrido that celebrates status and survival on Mexico’s dusty backroads, offering English learners a vivid snapshot of bravado, danger, and camaraderie in the shadowy corners of the norteño underworld.
