the criminal underworld, the mob worldexpressioncolloquialA fixed phrase used in Latin American Spanish to refer collectively to organized crime and its social sphere. 'Hampa' on its own is a formal noun, but 'el mundo del hampa' functions as a set expression with a strong colloquial flavor in speech, signaling danger and moral otherness.

to end up burned, to get burned (figuratively: to end up in serious trouble or destroyed)expressioncolloquialUsed figuratively to warn that someone will suffer serious consequences for getting too close to a dangerous situation or person. The literal image of burning is present but the intended meaning is harm or ruin in a broader sense, which is clarified in the dialogue itself as non-literal.
