I can’t feel my face...

A strange vibe

Drenched in bass, all my expensive clothes

I don’t know where I’m going

No one knows anything

I think I’m out of focus...

Hanging out every day—The sun came up, I didn’t know

Diamonds like RIAA plaques

My hand trusts no one—I called her María, but her name’s Sofía

Out of focus...

Searching for luck

I hope you let go—I wanna see you without clothes

Innocent face, but guilty—Of driving me crazy

Out of focus...

I don’t wanna feel like this,

But it makes me feel so good—Because she’s not here

Not even drugs can—Erase your memory

Someone find me,—Without you, I’m lost

The bed’s full, but—I’m an empty desert

Even though I’m having fun

At this hour, everything—Feels upside down

Out of focus...

Going 100 miles on the expressway

While she’s playing hard to get—Champion in every weight class

Throw your bad vibes,—I don’t believe in that

My mom prays for—Me when I don’t pray

Out of focus...

The roulette shines, and I’m on a roll—A couple of tracks and lollipops

This is out of this world

The vibe in the private jet

And I can’t stop—Staring at her breasts

Out of focus...

I don’t wanna feel like this,

But it makes me feel so good

Because she’s not here...

Ra' Rauw

No siento la cara...

Una nota rara

Lleno de base, to'a mi ropa cara

No se a donde voy

Nadie sabe nada

Creo que estoy Desenfoca'u...

Jangueando to's los días Que salió el sol, no sabía

Diamantes como discos de la RIAA

Mi mano en nadie confía Le dije María y se llama Sofía

Desenfoca'u....

Buscando suerte

Ojalá te sueltes Sin ropa quiero verte

Cara de inocente, Pero culpable de ponerme loco de la mente

Desenfoca'u...

Así no quiero estar,

Pero me hace sentir muy bien Por que ella no está

Ni las drogas me borran tu recuerdo

Que alguien me encuentre, sin ti me pierdo

La cama llena y yo vacío desierto

Aunque me divierto

a esta hora todo se siente inverso

Desenfoca'u....

A 100 millas en el expreso

Mientras ella me baja el queso Campeón en to' los pesos

Tiren mal de ojo, que yo no creo en eso

Mi ma'i reza por mi, cuando no rezo

Desenfoca'u...

Brilla la Roleta y yo de ruleta Un par de rolas y paletas

Esto es fuera del planeta

La nota en la avioneta

Y no puedo parar de mirar sus tetas

Desenfoca'u....

Así no quiero estar,

Pero me hace sentir muy bien

Por que ella no esta...
