[English]

My name is Culero Connor

I’m a mix of colt and bitch

When I walk through my neighborhood streets

They shout at me, “Watch out for the beasts!”

I’ve got kids on all eight continents

And I knocked out all their teeth

With those, I built a great bridge

To cross over to the other side of the snakes

My, my, my name’s Culero Connor

I’m a mix of colt and bitch

When I walk through my neighborhood streets

I let it be known my life’s a living hell (Yeah)

’Cause I’m watching what you do

When you move, better not fall behind

I’m groova chaco, be careful bato

Don’t act tough, my words will crush you

Step aside, I’m headed to your land

Like Valderrama, I score goals with your girls

You already know, now you’re begging me

Later, you’ll want to drink from my canteen

I’m telling you again, don’t mess with me

My crew’s growing all around the planet

Abarajame in the bathtub

Abarajame in the bathtub, baby

Abarajame in the bathtub, yeah

Abarajame in the bathtub, baby, baby

Be cool, don’t be a jerk, man, chico, yeah

’Cause all your bullets, shove ’em up your ass

You know about me, you know about me, cara

You know, you kick me, and I say nothing

You care about kids huffing glue

When they grow up, you’ll eat the pavement

I strive for peace, you strive for the other

Pull out your gun without your crew

Abarajame in the bathtub, yeah

You thought about the time the clama hama came

A friend without a head, who doesn’t want to be anything

You already know he’s smoke, he should watch out for the cops

Or he’ll end up as a rubber doorman

(Yo) I told Pedro, you’re my Latino brother

Be careful of the pigs, they’re trying to be better

He didn’t listen and smoked a cop dog

A shepherd cop dog owned by a son of a bitch, yeah

Pedro died from eight police bullets

’Cause by the law, eight bullets are legal

I strive for peace, you strive for the other

Pull out your gun without your crew

I strive for peace, you strive for the other

Pull out your gun without your crew
