  'Amonos, dámelo, caete con ese paquetón
  Yo no quiero usar el cuete no
  Es muy baqueton
  El bote no me asusta a mi
  Es como vacación
  Pero yo te asusto a ti
  Miados en el pantalón
  5, 4, 3 y 2 y 1
  Yo quiero la hierba y el nudo
  Es lo que le queda a este cuetazo de budo
  Pierde puro verde o pierdes el culo
  Tu di
  Ahí esta la otra que te decía loco
  Estos vatos tienen más feria
  Aquí vamos a chingar, listo?
  Vámonos pues
  
  
  'Let's go, give it to me, fall down with that packet
  I do not want to use the cuete
  It is very baqueton
  The boat does not scare me
  It's like a vacation
  But I scare you
  Mied in the pants
  5, 4, 3 and 2 and 1
  I want the grass and the knot
  That's what this budo buzz looks like
  Lose pure green or lose your ass
  You say
  There is the other one that told you crazy
  These vatos have more fair
  Here we are going to fuck, ready?
  Let's go then

  Well, a cuete is a gun, a bote is a box, and baqueton here means lazy. Hierba can be any herb, like mint, I've never heard it used to mean grass. But that's in the south of Mexico, could be different in the north.

  YOU CANT TRANSLATE IT LITERALLY...
  
  'Amonos, dámelo, caete con ese paquetón
  LETS GO, GIVE IT TO ME, GET ON YOUR KNEES FOR THIS BIG PACKAGE
  Yo no quiero usar el cuete no
  I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO USE MY GUN
  Es muy baqueton
  GOT A BIG BULLET
  El bote no me asusta a mi
  THE SHOT DOESN'T SCARE ME
  Es como vacación
  ITS LIKE A VACATION TO ME
  Pero yo te asusto a ti
  BUT YOU'RE AFRAID OF ME
  Miados en el pantalón
  PULSATIONS IN YOUR PANTS
  5, 4, 3 y 2 y 1
  Yo quiero la hierba y el nudo
  I WANT SOME WEED AND YOU NUDE
  Es lo que le queda a este cuetazo de budo
  LETS YOU GET AT THIS DANGEROUS BIG GUN
  Pierde puro verde o pierdes el culo
  LOSE THE GREEN OR LOSE YOUR ASS
  Tu di
  YOU GAVE IT UP
  Ahí esta la otra que te decía loco
  HERE'S THE OTHER ONE WHO CALLED YOU CRAZY
  Estos vatos tienen más feria
  THOSE NIGGAS HAVE MORE CASH
  Aquí vamos a chingar, listo?
  YOU GONNA FUCK THEM TOO YOU READY?
  Vámonos pues
  LETS GO

  It's difficult to translate - some words are slang or phrases that have a particular meaning in the particular language/culture and it's hsrd to find the English equivalent - a literal word filor word translation will often not make sense so you often have to find other English words in order to come closer to conveying the desired meaning

  Yeah that is my main issue, is not fluent enough to know what they are really saying.

  Sometimes in Youtube I've seen Spanish songs with English subtitles.
  
  Have you tried searching in YouTube "<song name> English lyrics"

  Shit - I used angle brackets in my last post and TUSCL cuts it off.
  
  Meant to say search in YouTube:
  
  "(Song name) English lyrics"

  @ime
  
  Spanglish has few rules and many variations and the guys from cypress hills are of Cuban descent in a Mexican environment and totally baked with the loser leaf so you have to try to get the message they are trying to send, that sometimes they don even know themselves because of the loser leaf effects.
  
  Anyhow this is what the Spanish portion of the song is talking about:
  
  CYPRESS HILL – LOCOS LYRICS
  
  Spanish portion:
  
  The song has two conversations/dialogues/stories going on about the heists of cannabis dispensaries the one that Sick Jacken is telling is in the one in Spanish and starts with Jack talking to his accomplice to get ready for the first heist:
  
  Orale loco
  Orale loco, Ponte las pilas wey e?
  Aquí se va a hacer el jale ahorita de volada
  Estos vatos tienen un chingo de feria
  Listo? ponte la máscara, vámonos...
  
  Get ready man
  Get ready man, (put batteries on) be ready/alert Ok?
  This job takes place now and fast
  These guys have a lot of cash
  Ready? Put the sky mask on, let’s go
  
  Then is the conversation between Jack and the victim; the dispensary employee:
  
  Amonos, dámelo, caete con ese paquetón
  Yo no quiero usar el cuete no
  Es muy baqueton
  El bote no me asusta a mi
  Es como vacación
  Pero yo te asusto a ti
  Miados en el pantalón
  5, 4, 3 y 2 y 1
  Yo quiero la hierba y el nudo
  Es lo que le queda a este cuetazo de budo
  Pierde puro verde o pierdes el culo
  Tu di
  
  Let’s go, give it to me, give up the package
  I don’t want to use the gun/firearm, no
  Is too much for this situation.
  Going to prison doesn’t scare me
  Is like a vacation
  But I scare you
  You pissed your pants
  5, 4, 3 y 2 y 1
  I want the grass/cannabis and the money
  It is all is left, this gun/firearm
  Lose the money or lose your ass/life
  You tell me.
  
  Of course the employee is going to give up the merchandise and the money rather than lose his life.
  
  They talk about going to the next dispensary:
  
  Ahí esta la otra que te decía loco
  Estos vatos tienen más feria
  Aquí vamos a chingar, ¿listo?
  Vámonos pues...
  
  This I the other place I told you about
  These guys have more cash
  Here we are going to Fuck them, ready?
  Let’s go now...
  
  The song repeats one verse at the end as a chorus.
  
  Again I don’t know why people glorify criminals but it is what it is.
  
  Let me know if you have any questions or comments or opinions or...
  
  I believe at my University we have the best Chicano Studies professors in the Nation, probably the World.

  You pretty much have to be a native speaker to understand.
  
  Bote is slang for jail.
  Feria is slang for money
