[English]

And we don't need those who haven't arrived or those who left

I'm still hustling, even though I'm loaded with cash

We're L-I-V-I-N'-L-A-R-G-E, living large

Yeah

With all I have, why look anywhere else?

Man, I'm living large, I've never let anyone get to me

Millions since '16, I never go broke

If I ever go to jail, I'll leave the kiosks rented out

And we don't need those who haven't arrived or those who left

I'm still hustling, even though I'm loaded with cash

We're L-I-V-I-N'-L-A-R-G-E, living large

Man, we're L-I-V-I-N'-L-A-R-G-E, living large

In PR and everywhere, and everywhere

Yeah, spending every Friday like it's Black Friday

And you're watching me, snitching, you look like Flanders, man

They roar like lions, but they don't even reach a tiger

I just put pressure on them, just like Thanos on Marvel

And I don't cut hair, but I have more clips than a barber

And I'm still undefeated, I already beat a couple of indictments

I'm ready to leave at any time, you can try me

And as long as I'm running things, I'm going to stand my ground

She tells me: "Daddy, I want a puff of that thing" (I want a puff)

I have three girls ready for me, like Powerpuff

For enemies, more spray and brushes than Tuff Stuff

Watching everywhere, three eyes, like the 16 Pro

And I wear more rings than Jordan in the playoffs

All the stones are white and the Retro 5s, Off-White

My shoes are too big for you, even if you're 7'2"

They made their way with the footprints I left for them (The one who showed the way)

And we don't need those who haven't arrived or those who left

I'm still hustling, even though I'm loaded with cash

We're L-I-V-I-N'-L-A-R-G-E, living large

Man, we're L-I-V-I-N'-L-A-R-G-E (living large)

In PR and everywhere

They're worth nothing if their loyalty has a price

People I valued turned against me

I helped them so many times, I wouldn't finish if I started

And I don't wish them ill, even with all that

In the end, they fall on their own, by their own weight

At 115 in the pink AP and on the highway

I feel a thousand things that I don't express

To brush that off, I go and blow a couple of stacks

Try to mess with me, and you'll end up in the sea, ground into bones

This is precise and brief

For my family, I'll jump anyone, even if they hit me with 99 shots

It bothers them to see this shine on me, because they don't have it

If they're not truly in my crew, they can roll

(All the pigs can go to hell)

We don't need those who haven't arrived or those who left

I'm still hustling, even though I'm loaded with cash

We're L-I-V-I-N'-L-A-R-G-E, living large

Man, we're L-I-V-I-N'-L-A-R-G-E, living large

In PR and everywhere, and everywhere

Esto es preciso y breve

Por mi familia brinco al que sea, aunque me den nueve-nueve

Les molesta verme este brillo, porque no tienen

Key Grammar Structures

• (Y no hace falta el que no ha llega'o ni el que se fue)

  ➔ Impersonal 'hacer falta' and 'el que'

  ➔ The phrase "no hace falta" means "it's not necessary" or "we don't need". "El que" functions as "the one who". In informal Spanish, "ha llega'o" is a contracted form of "ha llegado" (has arrived), and "se fue" is a simplified reference to "se ha ido" (has gone/left) for people.

• (Yo sigo en joseo, aunque me sobre el efe)

  ➔ 'Seguir + gerund' and 'aunque + subjunctive'

  ➔ "Sigo en joseo" uses "seguir + en + noun" to mean "I keep hustling". "Aunque me sobre" uses the subjunctive after "aunque" to express a concession, meaning "even if I have a lot of" (money).

• de nadie nunca me he deja'o

  ➔ Double negation with pronominal verb

  ➔ This line uses a double negative, common in Spanish, where "de nadie" (by no one) and "nunca" (never) both reinforce the negation. "Me he deja'o" is the informal contraction of "me he dejado" from the pronominal verb "dejarse", meaning "I have never let myself (be controlled/influenced by anyone)".

• Si un día caigo preso, dejo los kiosco' rentao'

  ➔ First conditional clause (Si + present, present)

  ➔ This is an example of a first conditional sentence. The "Si" clause describes a real or probable condition in the present ("si caigo preso" - if I get arrested), and the main clause describes a probable outcome ("dejo los kioscos rentados" - I leave the kiosks rented). "Rentao'" is a colloquial abbreviation of "rentados".

• Roncan de león, pero no llegan ni a tiger

  ➔ Idiomatic expressions: 'roncar de' and 'no llegar ni a'

  ➔ "Roncan de león" is an informal idiom meaning "they boast/act like lions" (referring to being strong or tough), implying they are not. "No llegan ni a tiger" is another idiom meaning "they don't even amount to a tiger," emphasizing their inferiority or lack of true power compared to what they claim.

• Hicieron su camino con las huella' que les marqué yo

  ➔ Relative clause with emphatic subject pronoun

  ➔ The phrase "que les marqué yo" is a relative clause modifying "huellas" (footprints/paths). The placement of "yo" at the end of the clause emphasizes the subject, highlighting that "I" was the one who marked the path for them, even though "les marqué" already implies "I marked for them."

• Por mi familia brinco al que sea, aunque me den nueve-nueve

  ➔ 'Al que sea' (indefinite relative) and 'aunque + subjunctive'

  ➔ "Brinco al que sea" means "I'll confront anyone." "Al que sea" uses the indefinite relative pronoun "el que" with the subjunctive "sea" to refer to an unspecified person. "Aunque me den nueve-nueve" uses the subjunctive after "aunque" to express a hypothetical concession: "even if they give me 99 (shots/bullets)."

• Les molesta verme este brillo, porque no tienen

  ➔ Verb like 'gustar' with infinitive and pronoun

  ➔ "Les molesta verme" uses a structure similar to "gustar" verbs: the indirect object pronoun "les" (to them) indicates who is bothered, and the infinitive "verme" (to see me) is the subject of "molesta". The "me" is a direct object pronoun attached to "ver". "No tienen" implies "they don't have (this shine)".

• Si no están de cora en mi corillo, que la rueden

  ➔ Conditional followed by 'que + subjunctive' for command

  ➔ This line combines a conditional clause ("Si no están de cora...") with an imperative/command expressed with "que + subjunctive" ("que la rueden"). "Estar de cora" is an informal idiom meaning "to be truly/sincerely committed". "Que la rueden" is a colloquial command meaning "let them roll (away)" or "they should leave."

• Tanta' vece' los ayudé, que no termino si empiezo

  ➔ 'Tanto/a(s)... que...' structure

  ➔ This line features the "tantas... que..." structure, meaning "so many times that...", which indicates a result. "Tanta' vece'" is an informal contraction of "tantas veces". The conditional clause "si empiezo" means "if I start (counting them all)".
