The corrido is sung from the perspective of the Mexican immigrant, and it tells the story of how he was stopped by the police while driving home from work. The police officer accused him of speeding and then beat him without provocation or just cause. The immigrant tries to explain that he is a hard-working man who is only trying to provide for his family, but the police officer does not listen and continues to beat him.
The song ends with the immigrant calling for an end to discrimination against Mexican immigrants in the United States. He says that all people should be treated equally, regardless of their race or origin.
