[English]

Hey, hey - I'm still the same, I haven't changed.

(No!) - I have my stuff without having to pretend (Hey)

I always roll with the same things, unstoppable (Hey, hey, hey, hey) - Now it's always Louis Vuitton, but I'm never gonna change (Prr, prr, prr, prr)

I like the street - 25/8 ready, don't mess with me.

Humble, but I'll never let myself go - It's hot, but I won't step away, eh-eh.

Today we go out to the streets (Wuh) - Luka Dončić, there's no way I'll fail.

We keep it at two hundred and we won't drop - We're always in PR, hustling, partying, and winning (Yeah, yeah, yeah).

I'm still the same, only my reflection changed (Je).

New, but I feel like one of the old ones (Prr-prr) - Humble, but I don't back down, hey (Nah, nah, nah).

Loyal, but not a fool (Hey, hey, hey, hey) - And don't bet against me, it'll get you tangled.

(Nah) - I bought the Tokyos to wear them as a necklace (Hu-huh).

The 11's in white and royal blue - The girl asks me not to take it off for sex.

(Ah, ah, ah) - And I give it all night without taking my weed off.

(Nah) - I'm high, I no longer know what a twenty is.

I brought a new weed that's a nightmare, like Benny Moña.

Fluorescent greens, they look like weed balls, hey.

And pound after pound, eh-eh - It's not that I'm antisocial, it's that you give off bad vibes.

I know looking good throws them off balance.

But normal, but normal, but normal - Without going to playoffs I win the final (The final).

You get a piece of me and you won't come back for more (Prr, prr, prr).

I'm gonna detune your guitar (Ha) - In the Dominican Republic they say: "My dude, you're the end."

(Hey, hey, hey, hey) - And in PR: "It's crazy, being a son of a bitch" (Huh).

I'm the best at this, don't argue (Nah) - Here any beat always gets executed (Prr, prr).

The goofy white kid who studied at CUTA (Hey).

But I like the street - 25/8 ready, don't mess with me.

Humble, but I'll never let myself go (Never) - It's hot, but I won't step away, eh-eh.

(No, no, no, no) - Today we go out to the streets (Wuh).

Luka Dončić, there's no way I'll fail - We keep it at two hundred and we won't drop.

We're always in PR, hustling, partying, and winning (Hey, hey).

Don't worry about the ticket, I also have a bunch.

They say I'm not street, that I never leave the gate - But this is PR, here anyone can make a comeback.

And "prr, prr", welcome to the heat.

If I get hit with fronting, I can't stand it - The one who dressed them in colors and short pants (Wuh).

Don't act blind and deaf - Like the government, which still has houses with awnings.

Never followed— No, no, keep the track, keep the track.

Never a follower, I've always been a leader - $7.25, bro, you can't live on that.

But now we're cashing in like a wide receiver - My verses are classics like Boca – River.

Never a follower, I've always been a leader - $7.25, bro, with that—, give me—.

Give me a break, I'm about to drop something else, okay.

Hey, hey, hey - Today we pull the Lambo Urus out of the garage.

You have it in Miami, I have it in Carolina.

I hit all the quiet Natti's, like Raphy Pina, hey.

Driving and goofing off, I love the adrenaline - I have a lot of money, that's why I'm Chil.

Lowkey, I never let myself be seen, like John Cena - Remember, the big guys don't stand on the corner.

I'm like the Boogeyman, I appear when there's fog - Dude, I'm the bomb, my mind is a mine.

They bought a mansion with what I made in the studio, hey.

They keep crying like when the Grammys don't nominate them - If I don't stop this verse, it won't end.

Real ha—
