Take What Is Yours

The Don, the Boss, El JEFE, El Patron mas feroz. Born and bred to relinquish the rules, exploit the fools, and elude the FEDs Andando sin cuerda en los calles de Medellin, Don Pablo nacio con hambre y sed "Pues Claro mijo, por que yo no soy ningun estrella bonito. I came to conquer this world, an d steal from Los Ricos." He'd say, thus being his mission objective. Medellin, Colombian wasn't you're everyday plot of Land or tale of glory. Mountanous landscapes, alarmingly temptuous women, and love stories. Cocaine paid the drug Cartels en route to the most lucrative drug trade Escobar swore that he would dig his own grave, if he wasn't a millionaire by the age 22, so he stole and he killed with cold-hearted skill engraved into the Soul of a man possessed by El Diablo mas bravo que el Fuego. El nino Pablito, un nino de Cielo... Gano todos sus Exitos sin nada de miedo. Yeah, yeah, yeahh. He killed, he robbed, his thrill was the mob! So WHAT?? He was a sick man, a smart man, could form a mile of sand into contraband. He was N-U-T-S. Pues si, claro caballeros, mas que todo Loco pero mas que nadien Astuto. He bought land, he bought planes, he negotiated business just by the drop of his Name. I won't judge, and I won't budge, the fact is the man made so much money that FORBES had to nudge, he was rated. In retrospect, history teaches us many lessons concerning human behavior. You take a man from any walk of life and fill him with a tenacious Ambition and it won't matter how the chips fall, because if he isn't holding the Ace's he's strategizing to rig the deck of cards, already ahead of the races. Look, Im not the guy you puts these guys in cuffs, and I ain't the guy that honors this stuff, But I will tell you this -- Pablo Escobar understood something that the rest of the world won't, or can't. Fear in the presence of action can and will override ruling powers and force their submission. Lo llamaron un "Robin Hood", y El Patron De Mal. Indeed, he figured out a way to divide and Conquer.
