[English]

I’ve got a manic mind, my girl’s tattooed, and I’m all stuffed up

For protection, I’ve got my AK locked in the truck, in case someone attacks

Beautiful women get jealous when I go out with other girls

They know I’m loaded with cash, that’s why I’m thriving, and none can tame me

Are you in or out? Do you fall for me or do I fall for you? I’m never bitter

I don’t dance tango, but I make her dance, I’m into mambo, drinking, and going wild

Ladies, come with Millonario to clubs past closing time

Buzzing daily in your hood, and lady with big boobs gets turned on

She’s got them pink, here’s another track for her to get fired up

And she’ll record herself touching for the crew, no dry laws here

They always sell us beer, I don’t care if it’s sweet

Intellectual or street girl, as long as she’s hot

It’s all the same if she’s American

Argentinian, Chilean, Dominican, or Puerto Rican

My flow takes over the dance floor, their butts conquer me

With their hips, they hypnotize and turn me on

They love to fly, fly, fly

While I make them dance and they take a trip

They love to fly, fly, fly

While I make them dance and they drink whisky

They love to fly, fly, fly

While I make them dance and they take a molly

They love to fly, fly, fly

While I make them dance and throw them money

I’ll leave my exotic dancer paralyzed

With her robotic spine, the cash rains down automatically

So dynamic, so erotic, she explodes like volcanic lava

The neighbors are our fans, they throw us crazy looks

Through the window, all week long, they don’t give a damn

If they want a banana, from Monterrey or Venezuela

They’re all the same, they all want my money, it’s Monday, bring the pipe

To keep it smooth like Juan Camaney, if you bore me, I’m out

Home runs with the baseball bat, pure cartel, the bass shakes

I’m feeling hot, I want a girl with a hot butt

Who’ll suck it, get me hard, and go for it

When I wink, it feels so good, bouncing on the bed, the kid’s smiling

I drink fine wines you’ve never heard of, dogs are turning off their speakers

In big trucks and fast cars, on yachts and planes, that’s where the old guys roll

I’ll buy her a drink, girl, don’t know when the money hits

From the club to the hotel, I rip off her clothes, she’s with me ’cause she’s wild and naughty

No rush, the plane lands, what they say about me doesn’t matter, it makes me laugh

Happy, I live life joyfully, their butts burn, and my nose itches

(Their butts burn, and my nose itches)

(Their butts burn, ha)

They love to fly, fly, fly

While I make them dance and they take a trip

They love to fly, fly, fly

While I make them dance and they drink whisky

They love to fly, fly, fly

While I make them dance and they take a molly

They love to fly, fly, fly

While I make them dance and throw them money

...

(Their butts burn, and my nose itches)

[Spanish]

Tengo la mente maniáca, tatuada la flaca, empachada la paca

Pa' protección tengo el AK clavado en la troca por si alguien me ataca

Hembras hermosas, se ponen celosas si salgo con otras chamacas

Saben que traigo con queso, por eso progreso y ninguna me aplaca

¿Viene o le saca, caes o te caigo, sales o salgo? Yo nunca me amargo

No bailo tango, pero la bailo, ando con mambo tomando y loqueando

Mamis, vienes con el Millonario en antros fuera de horario

Zumbando diario en tu barrio y a lady teta le excita

Ella las tiene rositas, ahí le va la otra rolita, pa' que se prenda

Y se grabe tocándose pa' la clika, aquí no aplica ley seca

Siempre nos venden cerveza, no me interesa si es fresa

Intelectual o cholita, con que la chica esté rica

Me da lo mismo si es gringa

Si es argentina o chilena, dominicana o boricua

Mi flow invade la pista, sus culitos me conquistan

Con la cadera hipnotizan y les excita

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y se comen un tripi

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y toman un whisky

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y se toman un molly

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y les aviento money

La voy a dejar paralítica a mi bailarina exótica

Con la columna robótica, la feria me llueve automática

Bien dinámica, bien erótica, explota como lava volcánica

Las vecinas son nuestras fanáticas, nos avientan miradas maniáticas

Por la ventana, toda la semana, les vale verga

Si quieren banana, regiomontana o venezolana

Son igualitas, todas quieren mi lana, ya es lunes mais, la pipa te traes

Para andar bien Juan Camaneis, si me aburres le caes

Homerunes' con el bate de beis', pura cártel que retumbe el bass

Me siento caliente, quiero una lady con el culo caliente

Que me la chupe, me la pare y se aviente

Si cuando guiño qué rico se siente, rebote en la cama y el niño sonriente

Tomo vinos finos que ni conoces, van cerrando perros sus altavoces

En trocones y en carros veloces, en yates y aviones andan los viejones

Yo le invito una copa, loca, no sepa cuando el mili te topa

Del antro pal' hotel yo le arranco la ropa, la traigo conmigo por puta y perrota

Sin prisa, el avión aterriza, lo que hablen de mí me da igual, me da risa

Contento, me la vivo feliz, les arde el culo y a mí la nariz

(Les arde el culo y a mí, la nariz)

(Les arde el culo, ha)

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y se comen un tripi

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y toman un whisky

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y se toman un molly

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y les aviento money

(Les arde el culo y a mí, la nariz)
