You mad at me? Go get mad at your nigga 'fore I put my sneakers on"

“Jus Lyke Compton” by DJ Quik
When we arrived I saw red and blue sweatsuits
When i'm thinkin bout horse dookey and cowboy boots
I guess Texas ain't no different from the rest
And San Antonio, was just waitin to put us to the test
And before it was over the shit got deep
A nigga got shot in the face, and was dead in the street
Then they came in the club thinkin of scrappin
Little did they know that we was packin
Yeah, we was puttin em down and squaring the rest, shit
I even had to wear the bulletproof vest
Now San Antonio…
Yeah, San Antonio…”

“Ay Te Dejo En San Antonio” by Flaco Jimenez

Por que supe que tenias otro amante
Y en Laredo ya tenias otros dos”

“Remember the Alamo” by George Strait

In the moonlight of San Antone
There by the mission you let your position be known
That you loved me so
Don't forget where it started
Remember the Alamo"

“Folsom Prison Blues” by Johnny Cash
“I hear the train a comin' it's rollin' round the bend
