El niño Antonio Pérez, así su madre lo nombro
The child Antonio Pérez, that's how his mother named him
En el medio del bajo mundo humildemente se crió
In the midst of the underworld, he was humbly raised
Sudando, buscando el pan, compitiendo con la miseria
Sweating, seeking bread, competing with misery
Su pobreza era seria, pero luchaba con mucho afán
His poverty was serious, but he struggled with great eagerness
Quería ser arquitecto y los estudios su padre pagó
He wanted to be an architect and his father paid for his studies
Pero al crecer su ambición era enorme y el crimen escogió
But as his ambition grew, it was enormous and he chose crime
Las seis de la tarde esta oscureciendo
Six in the evening, it's getting dark
La venta va bien y el dinero creciendo
The sale is going well and the money is growing
Mucha precaución velando la jara
A lot of caution, guarding the loot
El joven Antonio Pérez se prepara

Tony, así le dicen a Antonio

El tiempo lo ha convertido en demonio

Su Biblia es un 357, su oficio disparo y cobrar un billete

La palabra paz el no la entiende

Es un asesino y de eso depende su casa su ropa también su alimento

Vigila a la victima que esta al otro lado

Cruzando la calle frente a el se le para
Crossing the street, he stands in front of him
Y sin pena le pone un mágnum en la cara
And without mercy he puts a magnum in his face
El cuerpo cae con un count de dinero

Tony lo recoge y se lo lleva bien ligero

El hombre en el piso mucha sangre derrama

El dinero robado se invierte en marihuana

Tony sigue con su cruel misión

El corrupto esconde su identidad

Los guardias tumban la puerta con mucho ruido

Tony le pregunta "pero yo!, que paso"

Y su familia sufriendo y llorando por el

-Antes que nada hay que aceptar que casi todos los que estamos aquí tenemos una cosa en común y es que por no hemos ido por el camino correcto. Ahora Dentro de los que estamos descarrilados están los que abusan y los que no abusan y yo soy de los que no abusan yo no le he hecho nadie a nadie al que no se lo merezca pero pa cuidar un negocio ilegal hay que poner respeto y por eso es que muchos de nosotros estamos en esta prisión pagando las consecuencias. Si yo le estoy mintiendo si estoy metiendo la feca a larga ustedes me van coger en la mentira pero mientras no se pruebe lo contrario yo estoy aquí dispuesto a compartir todas mis conexiones de la calle con ustedes y voy a todas. Eso es todo lo que tengo que decir
-First of all, we have to accept that almost all of us here have one thing in common and that is that we have not gone the right way. Now, among those of us who are derailed, there are those who abuse and those who do not abuse, and I am one of those who do not abuse, I have not done anything to anyone who did not deserve it, but to take care of an illegal business, you have to put respect and that is why many of us are in this prison paying the consequences. If I am lying to you, if I am bullshitting you, you will catch me in a lie, but until proven otherwise, I am here willing to share all my street connections with you and I will go to all of them. That's all I have to say.
- Bueno esta junta debidamente bien organizada a determinado que la carta recibida de la calle no es base suficiente por lo tanto dale arriba
