[English]

You tell me you’re pricey

And with that big booty

I make a face, but shake that whole thing

An aerial machine

I hit one, three poles

A black limo full of big shots

All the powers, if they turn their backs

It’s not for today, everyone already gets paid

He beats it, she when she beats

That’s why she gets the belly

To eat your avocado

Four shakes and the bill hits two hundred

You kissed with Gucci, not with gay men

Go ahead, bro, don’t scare them

Before she sings for you

I do like money

I do like cars

I like it, I like it, I like the pricey ones

I do like money

I do like cars

I like it, I like it, I like the pricey ones

She likes sweets

If you want to eat the candy

Take out the cash, bro, she’s going to leave with an old bearded guy

She likes sweets

If you want to eat the candy

Take out the cash, bro, she’s going to leave with an old bearded guy

Let him buy her a Ferrari, my outfits

VIP parties, huh…

Long live love

And pizza for the mall

The one the boys have put on

Big shot, baseball player

Tell Mom that he/she values you

And for this, which one am I gonna choose?

She likes sweets

If you want to eat the candy

Take out the cash, bro, she’s going to leave with an old bearded guy

She likes sweets

If you want to eat the candy

Take out the cash, bro, she’s going to leave with an old bearded guy

If you’re going to give me, give it hard

I’m set for a Lamborghini

Not a minivan

You have cash, you’re sure

If my butt earns more than yours on OnlyFans

I don’t want anything from you

I won’t let you step over me

I’m a naughty girl, but

Never a kid for messing around

If you’re going to give me, give it hard

Hard, hard

If you’re going to give me, give it hard

Never a kid for messing around

I do like money

I do like cars

I like it, I like it, I like the pricey ones

I do like money

I do like cars

I like it, I love it, I like the pricey ones

[Spanish]

Tu me dices que eres cara

Y con este culote

Yo saco cara, pero mueve to' ese bote.

Una maquinaria aérea

Pico uno, tres postes

Una limusina negra más de bichotes.

Todos los poderes si se vire de espalda

No es pa' hoy, ya a todas se le salda

Lo bate, ella cuando bate

Así es que le es belly

Pa' comerte el aguacate

Cuatro sacudidas y la factura llega a 200.

Te besaste de Gucci, no de gay men

Dale claro manito no le espante

Antes que ella te cante

A mi si me gusta la plata

A mi si me gustan los autos

A mi si me gusta, a mi si me gusta, a mi si me gustan los caros

A mi si me gusta la plata

A mi si me gustan los autos

A mi si me gusta, a mi si me gusta, a mi si me gustan los caros

A ella le gusta el dulce

Si quieres comerte el bombón

Saca los cuartos, manito, se va ir con un viejo bigotón.

A ella le gusta el dulce

Si quieres comerte el bombón

Saca los cuartos, manito, se va ir con un viejo bigotón.

Que le compre un Ferrari, los trajes de mi

VIP los party, uhm...

Que viva el amor

Y la pizza pa'l mall

La que se los ha puesto boys

Bichote, jugueton del béisbol

Dile mami que te valora

Y pa' esta, cuál voy?

A ella le gusta el dulce

Si quieres comerte el bombón

Saca los cuartos, manito, se va ir con un viejo bigotón.

A ella le gusta el dulce

Si quieres comerte el bombón

Saca los cuartos, manito, se va ir con un viejo bigotón.

Si me vas a dar, dame duro

Estoy puesta por una Lambo

No una minivan

Que tu tienes chavos, tu estás seguro

Si mi culo factura más que tu en OnlyFans

De ti yo no quiero nada

Yo no me voy a dejar brincar

Yo soy una bellaca, pero

Nunca chico por chingar

Si me vas a dar, dame duro

duro, duro

Si me vas a dar, dame duro

Nunca chico por chingar

A mi si me gusta la plata

A mi si me gustan los autos

A mi si me gusta, a mi si me gusta, a mi si me gustan los caros

A mi si me gusta la plata

A mi si me gustan los autos

A mi si me gusta, a mi si me gusta, a mi si me gustan los caros

Key Grammar Structures

• A mi si me gusta la plata

  ➔ affirmative "si" + present indicative

  ➔ The word "si" adds emphasis, similar to "indeed". The verb "gusta" is in the present indicative.

• Yo saco cara, pero mueve to' ese bote.

  ➔ present indicative + contrast conjunction "pero"

  ➔ "saco" and "mueve" are in the present indicative. "pero" introduces a contrast.

• No es pa' hoy, ya a todas se le salda

  ➔ negation "no" + contracted preposition "pa'" (para) + reflexive indirect object "se le"

  ➔ "No" negates the clause. "pa'" is a colloquial contraction of "para" (for). "se le" functions as an indirect reflexive pronoun meaning "to them".

• Si me vas a dar, dame duro

  ➔ conditional clause "si" + future periphrastic "ir a + infinitive"; imperative "dame"

  ➔ "Si" introduces a condition. "vas a dar" uses the periphrastic future "ir a + infinitive". "dame" is an imperative meaning "give me".

• No una minivan

  ➔ elliptical negative construction (verb omitted)

  ➔ "No" negates the implied verb (e.g., "quiero"). The noun "una minivan" stands alone.

• Yo soy una bellaca, pero nunca chico por chingar

  ➔ contrast conjunction "pero"; adverb of frequency "nunca" + infinitive; purpose infinitive introduced by "por"

  ➔ "pero" links two contrasting ideas. "nunca" (never) modifies the infinitive "chico" (slang for "to act like a boy"). "por chingar" expresses purpose "to fuck".

• Que le compre un Ferrari, los trajes de mi

  ➔ subjunctive imperative "Que + verb"; possessive adjective "mi"

  ➔ "Que le compre" uses the subjunctive to give a suggestion or command: "that you buy him a Ferrari". "mi" is a possessive adjective meaning "my".

• Si quieres comerte el bombón

  ➔ "si" conditional + present indicative; reflexive infinitive "comerte"

  ➔ "Si" introduces a possible condition. "quieres" is present indicative. "comerte" combines the verb "comer" with the reflexive pronoun "te".

• De ti yo no quiero nada

  ➔ prepositional phrase "de ti" + double negative "no... nada"

  ➔ "de ti" indicates the source "from you". The sentence uses a double negative: "no" negates the verb and "nada" means "nothing".

• Yo no me voy a dejar brincar

  ➔ future periphrastic "ir a + infinitive" with negation; reflexive pronoun "me"; infinitive "brincar" as passive meaning

  ➔ "no" negates the future construction "voy a dejar" (I am not going to let). "me" is a reflexive pronoun. "brincar" here works like "to be jumped on" (passive sense).
