Cholo Lyrics (English Translation) – Natanael Cano, Badguychapo

Cholo (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Natanael Cano]
He’s talking to God, questioning why he should ask for forgiveness when God already blesses him every day. Life outside is wild and dangerous, but he trusts that when the time comes for him to face judgment or get what’s meant for him, it’ll be on God’s time, not anyone else’s. The phrase “there’s going to be something cholo” is his way of saying something real, bold, or gangster is coming, and he’s ready for it without fear or doubt.

[Chorus: Natanael Cano]
He’s saying something raw and authentic is coming, and we should believe it. Life for him is still pretty straightforward, and he finds humor in it even while being alone. He mentions feeling like he’s lost a part of himself and throws shade at people who gossip and pretend to know things. Meanwhile, he stays lowkey, smokes, and reflects on how he makes money from drügs. He knows he’s no saint, and trouble always finds him, but he keeps getting success from his environment.

[Verse 1: Natanael Cano]
He’s repping the power and influence of his crew, including the Nahua Cartel and others like “the tigers” who are active and fierce in Sonora. He shouts out different groups and how they’re well-organized and ready with communication tools. He again addresses God, saying there’s no point in asking for forgiveness when God already knows and forgave everything—even the bad stuff he’s done, including taking lives. Despite his harsh life, he still shows kindness and knows karma will eventually catch up. But so far, nobody’s managed to reach his level or take him down. He boasts about being tough, riding in his Cheyenne (truck), attracting women who love danger, and still having moments of doubt or weakness—like when his hand shakes during calm times. It shows that even in his wild world, he’s still human underneath.

[Proverb: Natanael Cano]
He’s saying he doesn’t get scared because toughness is in his blood. He hides his identity, arms himself, and stays geared up for any situation. Even though scorpions aren’t supposed to fly, in his world, they did—meaning impossible things happen, and you better be ready for anything.

[Verse 2: Natanael Cano]
People try to bring him down, but they just can’t. He enjoys his luxuries, especially women and parties, living life high up—almost like he’s in the clouds. He’s aware of constant danger and lives like he’s always walking a fine line. He compares himself to a frog, ready to leap when the time comes, showing he’s always alert and prepared for anything.

[Verse 2: Badguychapo]
He talks about how his mom understands the struggles he’s been through. From a young age, he dreamed of becoming a drug dealer, and now everything runs through his connect “Checo.” He recalls a rough time when he spent two months in the jungle looking for work. Life’s expensive, but he pays for everything himself and doesn’t slow down. Even when cops are chasing him, he doesn’t stop. He lives fast, usually in his car, and always has someone special with him. No one can hold him back. He knows people call him bad, and he admits it. A lot of people talk like they were there during his struggles, but they weren’t. He had to hide for three months because the feds were looking for him, showing how dangerous and unpredictable his lifestyle really is.

[Bridge: Badguychapo]
He keeps something cold (like a gun or possibly drügs) ready just in case. A girl he’s with enjoys being close to him, but he doesn’t spend money carelessly. Instead, he spoils her with diamonds. She acts like she’s with the gang, but he knows many like her are actually snitches pretending to be loyal.

[Chorus: Natanael Cano]
He repeats that something big and real is on the way. His life might seem simple on the outside, but there’s a kind of dark humor in it. He’s not the same as he used to be and doesn’t vibe with people who are all talk. He keeps it chill, smokes, and looks at how far he’s come through drug money. He’s honest about his flaws and says bad things still follow him. Still, his lifestyle continues to bring rewards.

[Proverb: Natanael Cano]
He reminds people he doesn’t scare easily—it’s part of who he is. He hides his identity, stays armed, and always has his equipment. Even though scorpions usually don’t fly, in his case, they did—again showing how he lives a life where the unexpected is normal.

[Outro: Natanael Cano]
He finishes by repeating that people try to take him down but fail. He finds joy in women and wild parties, always surrounded by influence and power. He walks a dangerous line constantly, but if people want him to make a move, he will. He’s always alert and knows when it’s time to act.
