I am Boss of the Bosses,
Jefe de los Jefes.
And when it comes to this loco
straight from DF
with música asesina in my mind
filled con orgullo, with pride.
Listen to my lyrics,
escuchen mis versos.
You’ll see they won’t lie.
No les van a mentir.

Life is like a bunch of green grapes.
Sometimes, you get a sweet juicy one.
The next day, you get a rotten nasty one.
Just like life, sometimes sweet, sometimes nasty.
It has its ups and downs.

I am a true Jine from Northern Cali.
I am from Laytonville, the Long Valley.
Nights are cold, days are sunny.
In the heat of the day,
we get that money.
I keep to myself or in my circle.
My swag full of pride
with my head held high.
I ain’t nothin’ but a giant,
fierce like a lion.
A thousand feet in front,
you can keep up if you want.
Life comes at you quick.
It could hit you hard like a brick
I am a true Jine from Northern Cali.

I am a healer,
doctor to the broken.
I am from the edge of the world.
Before I pass,
I want to tend young hearts,
broken hearts.

I am from the land of hard times
where my family struggles
just to get a dime.
They tell me: ”M’ijo”,
why won’t you stay out of jail,
live a good life,
maybe get accepted to Yale?
I love my family.
I love my hood.
So, I struggle everyday
Just to be good.

Life, at best is when peaches are ripe,
red like the flames of night fire,
sweet like the taste of desire.
Grow in Spring,
drop in Summer.
In the end,
life is silent,
frozen when the season passes.

Life is like a river,
long twists and turns,
the occasional dam.
But, like a river,
it always ends peaceful,
in the big ocean.
