[English]

Yeah

Thanks, thanks, hey

Thanks to everyone who believed in me - From day one

Even before I signed with a label - Before they knew what you already knew

That I'm the best at this and what I would become - An icon for both big and small

Thanks to all my Domi and my people in Puerto Rico - Every achievement I dedicate to you

Even if sometimes they don't understand me - And there are things I don't explain, hey

Being different feels badass - But feeling real is even more badass

Always being real from the heart - A few real ones, I know who you are

But time never lies and - it always is right, hey

Like me, who hasn’t missed a song - They got lucky, I was the best investment

Better than you and him, hey - Because I do it with passion

Because I dreamed it a thousand times inside my room

Grandma, bless me, today I scored another goal, yeah - I made it big, I don’t know if you saw me at the Super Bowl

I don’t play basketball, but I’m a star - That’s why they invite me to play with them

My flow is NBA, hey - I don’t want to be a god, I don’t want to be a king

If everyone wants to be me, everyone wants my DNA - They write me a paragraph and I reply: "Okay," hey

What you got, badass? Nah, don’t bullshit me, dude - If LeBron is LeBron with 23 or with 6

By the way, yesterday I saw him, he was with me on stage - Give me a break, I’m talking to Triple H

Because I don’t break records, I make holes in them - This album is badass, I made it for you all, hey

And in nine months I come back with another - To retire peacefully like Miguel Cotto

Even if later I’m home alone and bored - And even if my best songs haven’t dropped yet

But honestly, people, I barely sleep anymore - And this fame has me feeling sick

Thanks to dad and mom for all the scolding - Thanks to you, I’m the same every year

I remember, punished, going to bed early - That’s why now grown up I do whatever I want, yeah

[Spanish]

  ➔ The word 'creyó' refers to 'believed', describing a completed action in the past.

• [translate:Ser diferente se siente cabrón]

  ➔ Reflexive structure 'se siente' (it feels); impersonal use of 'ser'.

  ➔ ‘Se siente’ makes the verb reflexive, meaning ‘it feels’ rather than someone feeling something actively.

• [translate:Poco' reale', yo sé quiéne' son]

  ➔ Direct object clause introduced by 'sé' + 'quiénes son' (indirect question structure).

  ➔ The phrase 'yo sé quiénes son' means 'I know who they are'; indirect question without a question mark.

• [translate:Porque lo soñé mil vece' dentro de mi habitación]

  ➔ Use of 'pretérito perfecto simple' (soñé) to express a completed dream or effort.

  ➔ ‘Soñé’ expresses a specific action completed in the past — dreaming many times about success.

• [translate:Yo no quiero ser un dios, yo no quiero ser un rey]

  ➔ Use of 'querer' in the present tense with infinitive verbs 'ser' to express desires.

  ➔ ‘No quiero ser’ means ‘I don’t want to be,’ showing negated desire for identity or status.

• [translate:Me escriben un párrafo y le' contesto: 'Okey']

  ➔ Indirect object pronoun 'me' and direct object 'un párrafo'; structure of giving/responding actions.

  ➔ ‘Me escriben’ means ‘they write to me’, where ‘me’ marks the receiver of the action.

• [translate:Si LeBron es LeBron con 23 o con el 6]

  ➔ Conditional 'si' clause used with present indicative for a general truth.

  ➔ The clause uses ‘si’ meaning ‘if,’ referring to a real condition, not hypothetical.

• [translate:Y aunque mis mejore' tema' aún no han salío']

  ➔ Present perfect tense with auxiliary 'han' + past participle (han salido).

  ➔ ‘Han salío’’ (standard: ‘han salido’) means ‘they have come out’, referring to songs not yet released.
