Hard to say since they are not Spanish words as far as I know
padeor may be padre=father
can it be "padrecito"=little priest?
cido may be "cid"=powerful men. In slang it means"boss"
In the TV serial "Oz" there is such a boss Raoul 'El cid' Hernandez
One of the American Latino inmates tells him when they meet first time"El Cid, it's an honor, man"

Thank you
I am not a Spanish speaker but I have a basic knowledge of it and know some things about languages. My answers about languages are careful-however I might get things incorrect.
It was harder for me since I had to second guess what he meant- the words are improper spelled.
1) I didn't say "cid" has any relation with "padrecido". It was another try to guess the original phrase.. I know that at least. "cido" is the termination for the diminutive while "cid" is a noun, totally different things. I try to be more clear next time.
2) I based my translation of "cid" on the dictionary of Spanish academy:
http://www.rae.es/rae.html
cid= m. Hombre fuerte y muy valeroso.
I translated fuerte with powerful
3) I made the connection between "cid" and "boss" since his question is under "Mexican Mafia" category. I have seen the serial "Oz" and Hernandez was the gang leader in that prison. It seems I went too far with my assumptions-I will try to be more careful.
Here we go again...
Although badly written by @anonymous, the word is in fact from the Spanish language.
...but you correctly defined it in the second and third sentence. "Padrecito" its a colloquial diminutive, not likely to be found in any dictionary. "Padre" is the base word and it means "Father" in Spanish. It depicts a family Father or it could describe a church Priest. In the same way, "Padrecito" could describe your "Daddy" (little Father) or a known "Lovable Priest" in a caring manner.
...as for your last phrase, it’s completely out of reality. There is no "Cid" in the word "Padrecito", nor it mean "Powerful" and much less it means "Boss"... ¿Where did you get that?
Cid is an old Castilian (old Spanish) nickname for a famous Iberian warrior of the 11th century in Spain, called Rodrigo Diaz del Vivar, know throughout the Spanish speaking world as el Cid Campeador. The title could be translated into something like "The Champion Lord" or "Champion Warlord". Basically, Cid means in Castilian "Señor" or "Gran Señor" (Lord or Great Lord).
He was called like that because he fought against the Arab invaders of the Iberian peninsula during a chaotic era in medieval Spain that lasted 8 centuries. He was a "Champion" a knight that alternatively offered his services to Castilian Kings or Arab Caliphs in order to clean out of enemies the Spanish countryside, at the time there was no national country, just separated catholic kingdoms or Arab caliphates.
Raul Hernandez nicknamed as "El Cid" is almost the same thing as a military officer that someone could call "Rambo" today. In Spanish speaking countries radio hosts are very likely to be named with flamboyant names like "The Emperors of Radio", "Cid" or "Masters" by their fellow radio comrades or the audience. There is nothing special about it and certainly there is no relation with the word Padrecito whatsoever. That term has nothing to do with the word Cid.
Anyhow, for your good instinct and hunch... here is my vote.
