Yeah, yeah
Super cool, sorry, look at me, let's talk
I'm gonna do it like that
Vamos allá, va a prender
He sat down with the chief for his yearly review
Everything's looking sharp, he's paid his dues
Handling business, leading the crew
But there's one question that's sparking his view
Chief, who was the director when Puerto Rico began
Who led the marshals in that new land
The chief chuckled, leaned back in his chair
Did you say, director, let's take it back
Young one, there's history to share
No había director mío en ese momento
Era otra la estructura, con otro movimiento
Fue hasta el mil ubercientos de Otto y Toto que cambió
El primer director, gracias a Dios
Por fin llegó, por fin llegó
Yeah, yeah
Before 1968, the director was seen
He was the attorney general running the machine
But that changed with a man named James McShane
The first U.S. Marshals director, remember that name
He served the Kennedy White House with care
Protecting the president, he was always there
Let the civil rights stand in Alabama's halls
Making sure desegregation didn't fall
When the marshals needed structure, they gave him the lead
He brought discipline, he made sure they'd succeed
The reorganization plan, no two set the stage
In 1968, the marshals entered a new age
James McShane, he brought the marshals to life
Modernized the system, got everything tight
From courthouse security to prisoner control
Under his command, the marshals took their role
But your homework's not done, young deputy man
Go find out who was the first marshal when it all began
In Puerto Rico, 1899, a man still tall
A clergyman first, but he answered the call
He came with a mission, his faith in the sky
Serving the island with justice as his guide
His story is rich, from preaching to law
Now go find his name and you'll stand in awe
Era un hombre de fe, con un deber
Un predicador que supo ver
Puerto Rico, lo vio llegar
Con su misión divina, listo para actuar
No había director en ese momento
There was no director, no, no
Era otra la estructura, con otro movimiento
But laws changed and McShane took his place
Las leyes cambiaron, y así nació
He brought the marshals into modern grace
La oficina del directo, y todo se organizó
And everything organized with McShane and Pepe
Now hit the books, find the preacher's tale
The first U.S. marshal of Puerto Rico
But laws changed, y así quedó alguien
You got the skills, I know you'll go far
Día tu misión, brilla como una estrella
America's shining star
So advisory deputy, you're on the rise
Ya lo sabes, sigue y aprende más
