Casitas de Cojoyo
Kanales Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Paso firme y pa' delante,
Este arroz ya se coció,
El que sabe hacer las cosas,
Muy poco le pide a dios
No anda molestando santos,
Todo al 50 x 2…

A un caballito palpeado,

No le hagan mucha confianza,
Al igual que los venados,
Con el aire se abalanzan
Si quieren pelear conmigo,
Se les puede caer la casa…

Me ausente de mi ranchito,
Y cerraron la escuelita,
Ya no pudieron conmigo,
Y con eso se desquitan
Van a hacerle un bien al pueblo,
Vamos a sembrar motita.

(Ayayay,
Pa' toda la gente,
De Cósala, Sinaloa,
Vamolos,
Kanales)

Quieren amansar al potro,
Y se fue con el mecate,
Pa' que agarren al amigo,
Es como jugar Melate
Van a ocupar mucha suerte,
Mejor denle pa' otra parte…

De las piedras sacan agua,
Es cosa de hacer un oyó,
Y no se mojan por dentro,
Las Casitas De Cojoyo
Mejor no metan las patas,
Si va zumbando el arroyo…

Si les aguante 20 años,
Que no les aguante un cierre,
Pelear conmigo es muy caro,
Mediten si les conviene

Yo soy "El Narco De Narcos",
Ya saben a lo que vienen.

Overall Meaning

In "Casitas De Cojoyo," Kanales sings about taking confident steps forward, having faith in one's abilities, and not relying too heavily on others. The first verse speaks to the importance of self-sufficiency and not bothering the saints, suggesting that those who know how to get things done do not require divine intervention. The second verse offers a warning about trusting those who may not be what they seem, using the metaphor of horses and deer who can use their speed and agility to defend themselves. Kanales also warns that anyone who wants to fight with them will face the consequences.

The third verse talks about Kanales' own experience of leaving home and finding that the school he attended had closed down upon his return. In response, Kanales suggests that they will do a favor for the town by planting marijuana. The fourth verse discusses the idea that sometimes one must make the best of what they have and work within their means, using the example of how water can be obtained from rocks by digging a hole. The final verse emphasizes Kanales' reputation as "El Narco De Narcos," suggesting that those who choose to engage with him are aware of its risks.
