Rubén Blades

A metal shark cuts into the night,
Spilling the colors of the neon lights
Papo, the hitman, is driving with his crew,
The Perez boys. All born and raised in Barrio truth.
They're looking for a man
Named "Sweet Tyrone"
In better days he was a friend
But is no more.
He broke the main rule that controls the street:
Don’t double-cross the ones you love, the ones you need.

Chorus
Don't double-cross the ones you love.
Don’t double-cross the ones you need.
"Cause you never know. "
Cause no one can say when you'll need a friend out on the street.

Don't double-cross.
