Rolling a joint with marijuana leaves

At work I never slack off, nobody scolds me

In Las Vegas, let me stay till dawn because that's how I love it

Smoking a joint and bets are never missing

Rifles and handguns they always carry because that's the job

Over in Sonora and Sinaloa I'm at 100% with the crew

Los Angeles, over there is his home because there he works

And to fill the paper, the most expensive kush

To cruise in a dual-wheeled truck with an R on the side

At his events, Los Barrón playing guitars

Jesús Ojeda y La Influencia when he's partying

And to smoke a little wax comfortably with Legado

El Chinito because his eyes are always droopy

When they see him, it's clear he's high

They also nicknamed him El Gordito or El Sobrino

His presence is immediately noticeable in the newest cars

One hundred percent undocumented, South Central where he was raised

Among its streets as a kid he was already a vagrant

He arrived up north, grew up, started connecting

And unexpectedly El Gordito is now well-off

A little Vais of Kushara to be high

A Sky Walker or an Ohey, you know what I'm talking about

You just see the big cloud of smoke when he gets out of the car

He looks very tough with the R slung across him

El Chinito is now saying goodbye, he's leaving comfortably, guys

Like his father, a true man, and he wants to remember him

Even if he's not present, he always carries him by his side

He never forgets that from heaven he's watching him

Rolling a joint with marijuana leaves

With the Angelina crew burning Kushara

The best weed, the one El Chino carries

A little wax in the Plumita because he gets everything

Rolling a joint with marijuana leaves

placoso — tough-looking / gangster-like

Placoso is slang, especially in parts of Mexico, for someone who looks tough, intimidating, or gangster like, carrying a certain street credibility just through their appearance.

In "Se mira bien placoso con el R muy terciado" ("He looks very tough with the R slung across him"), the word describes someone whose whole look, including the rifle slung over his shoulder, screams danger.

"El Chinito (Version Tololoche)" is a corrido about a young man from Southern California nicknamed "El Chinito" (also called "El Gordito" or "El Sobrino"), known for his sleepy, half-closed eyes from smoking marijuana. Set to a tololoche (upright bass) arrangement, the song traces his life from roaming the streets as a kid to finding his footing after moving north, now recognized for his nice cars and easygoing lifestyle. Throughout, it celebrates rolling and smoking marijuana as a constant ritual, naming different strains and forms. Near the end he says goodbye content, dedicating the song to his late father, who he says still watches over him from above.
