Yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah

I’ll take you to Coachella

I’ll take you to Singapore

I put your soap-opera boyfriend on the Bulls logo

Like when you were grinding

Baby, don’t fake it, I know you went all the way down when you were grinding

At a block party, posted up in a corner

Yeah

She says withdraw

But forgets about it after midnight and a couple of bottles

Hey, I’m ready for her

To light up and take her on a starry ride

Eh-eh

The girl is wild like a feisty cat

Eh-eh

Always with condoms and weed in her purse

A tough girl, she doesn’t back down

She’s not treated like a fool

The Barbie that they don’t sell in stores

The real deal at the grind, a legend

For the way you were grinding

Baby, don’t fake it, I know you went all the way down when you were grinding

At a block party, posted up in a corner

While I was grinding on you

Baby, don’t fake it, I know you went all the way down when you were grinding

At a block party, posted up in a corner

Sexy, sexy dance

You’re different, you don’t let anyone touch you like that

Se-sexy dance

I come back with some rough talk

Come, girl, come

Here’s the sexy dance

I know you’re calm now and behaving well

Hey, but baby, me too

I swear no one finds out

Grinding all night long

And boom, boom-bang

Forward, this party’s only for those who can handle it

Do it like you used to

From behind and from the front

Like when you were grinding on me

Baby, don’t fake it

I know you went all the way down when you were grinding

At a block party, posted up in a corner

While I was grinding on you

Baby don’t fake it, I know you went all the way down when you were grinding

At a block party, posted up in a corner

Grinding

Baby, don’t fake it, don’t fake it

For those who can handle it

Do-do-do it like you used to

Feisty cat

You were grinding on me

For those who can handle it

You were grinding on me

Do-do-do-do it, do it, do it

Slower, move slower, move slower, move slower

Move slower, move slower, move slower

Move slower, move slo

[Spanish]

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah

Yo te llevo pa' Coachella

Yo te llevo pa' Singapur

A tu novio de novela, lo pongo en el logo de los Bulls

Como cuando perriabas

Baby, no te hagas que yo sé que le metías hasta abajo cuando perriabas

En un party de marquesina, posteá' en una esquina

Yeah

Retirá' dice ella

Pero se lo olvida después de las doce y par de botella'

Ey, que estoy puesto pa' ella

Pa' prender y pa' meterlo en el paseo a las estrellas

Eh-eh

La jeva está suelta como gata sandunguera

Eh-eh

Siempre con condones y pasto en la cartera

Una galla, no se deja

No le cogen de pendeja

La Barbie que no venden en la tienda

La dura del perreo, una leyenda

Por la forma en que perriabas

Baby, no te hagas que yo sé que le metías hasta abajo cuando perriabas

En un party de marquesina, postea' en una esquina

Mientras yo te perriaba

Baby, no te hagas que yo sé que le metías hasta abajo cuando perriabas

En un party de marquesina, postea' en una esquina

Bella-bellaqueo

Tú eres otra, a ti no te paso el dedo

Be-bellaqueo

Vuelvo otra vez con un lenguaje bien feo

Ven, chica, ven

Aquí hay bellaqueo

Yo sé que ahora estas tranquila y que te portas bien

Ey, pero baby yo también

Te juro que nadie se entera

Perreo la noche entera

Y bum, patra' bum-bum

Pa'lante, este party e' solo para la gente que aguante

Métele como lo hacías antes

Por detrás y por delante

Como cuando tú me perriabas

Baby, no te hagas

Que yo sé que le metías hasta abajo cuando perriabas

En un party de marquesina, postea' en una esquina

Mientras yo te perriaba

Baby no te hagas que yo sé que le metías hasta abajo cuando perriabas

En un party de marquesina, postea' en una esquina

Perreando

Baby, no te haga', no te haga'

Para-para la gente que aguante

Mé-mé-métele como lo hacía antes

Gata sandunguera

Tú me perreabas

Para la gente que aguante

Tú me perreabas

Me-me-me-me-métele, métele, métele

Más lento, mueve más lento, mueve más lento, mueve más lento

Mueve más lento, mueve más lento, mueve más lento

Mueve más lento, mueve más len
