“He says that, for some time now, the gangs’ street "soldiers" believe that their leaders "sold them out."

"It’s true. These structures have no management. The ranflas [leaders] claimed to be looking out for their soldiers’ wellbeing. Not anymore. We came to the conclusion that it wasn’t the case." He thinks that the concentration of power in the hands of the historic leaders of the organizations had backfired on them.

"The ranflas [in prison] didn’t want to appoint substitutes [in the streets]. I don’t know why. Maybe because they didn’t want to leave to someone else what was theirs. So they didn’t do it. These locos negotiated for their own benefit. What did they negotiate? I don’t know," he said.”

”The troops are quiet tonight,
But it's not alright,
Because we know they're planning something.
Don't you know things have settled down,

Down, down but silence is a dangerous sound,
We must, we must,
We must keep our eyes open,
See what we see,

What once was promised now will be.
Still uncertain?
Get off that hang,
Don't wait for the bang,

The tools,
They will be swinging,
But we will not be beaten down.”
