[Verse 1 – Glory at the Top]
Rollin’ deep in the troca, chrome rims on the shine,
Vatos with me, bottles poppin’ all night.
Money stacked heavy, cadenas on my chest,
From the calles to the clubs, I was livin’ the best.
Every puerta opened when they heard my name,
From the barrio to the heights, I was runnin’ the game.
Women on my brazo, ridin’ clean through the town,
Thought I’d never see the bottom, only thrones and crowns.
Cuete for the haters, keys for the ride,
Stacks like a Bible, mi orgullo, mi pride.
From frijoles in the kitchen to champagne on ice,
I was el jefe in the plaza, playin’ dice with my life.
[Hook woman voice]
On top of the world, but the throne don’t stay,
Money brings friends, but they all drift away.
Smile in your face, then they cut when it’s rough,
Closer than blood — but the love ain’t enough.
[Verse 2 – Betrayal / The Fall]
Money ran low, and the silence grew cold,
The ones I swore were closer than blood never showed.
Vatos I fed, vatos I bled for,
Turned Judas on me, kicked my name to the floor.
The one I trusted most, the one I called kin,
Ate off my plate, but he folded within.
We rode together deep, same battles, same scars,
But he cracked in the lights when they questioned too hard.
Signed on the paper, dropped mine in the file,
Shook the law’s hand with a cowardly smile.
Cops hit my spot, dogs barkin’ outside,
From penthouse suites to a cell where I hide.
And my ruca swore she was ride-or-die,
Said forever, but forever was a lie.
Soon as the account slipped into red,
She packed up her bags, left my soul for dead.
She loved champagne, the trips, and the shine,
But the moment it faded, she was no longer mine.
Closer than blood, that’s what they all said,
But when the heat came down, every brother turned head.
[Verse 3 – Rise Again, Brutal]
I ain’t lay down, I sharpened my blade,
Turned betrayal to fire, now the devil’s remade.
The one I called brother, the one I let in,
Fed him at my table — but he folded to win.
When I came back out, he was first on my list,
A Judas in the crew, couldn’t let that exist.
Caught him at night, no prayers, no plea,
Made him pay for the papers he signed against me.
The so-called hermanos that ate off my plate,
I cut ’em like serpientes, let karma dictate.
Closer than blood? Nah, just snakes in disguise,
Now they choke on their lies, can’t look in my eyes.
And that ruca swore she was down for the ride,
Loved the money, not me — ran fast when it died.
But when I rose from the ashes, she saw what I’d done,
Met the devil reborn — and she started to run.
Enemies lined up, I took ’em out clean,
No mercy in my eyes, no fear in my scene.
I fell once to the bottom, but I rose with a grin,
Now they know who I am — I won’t fall again.
[Final Hook woman voice]
On top of the world, but the throne don’t stay,
Money brings friends, but they all drift away.
Fall once, carnal, but I rise from the flame,
Came back a devil — they remember the name.
