[English]

Ayo

Bye!

I go through life, I thank my Saint Jude

Who always watches over me, always watches over me

I know I get lost in excess, alcohol and sex

Money, the girls, they come to me on their own

And how many are there? They already know who I am

I don’t need a badge, I’m the one who moves it, the one who stops it

The one with the 45, if they mess with me, I detonate

Silencing mouths, that’s what I do

Why do I tell them? White, blessed is that coke

Party girls, my girls strip down

And in frog leather, details, those are their little gifts

"How much did it cost?" I don’t ask anymore

I don’t need a badge, I’m the one who moves it, the one who stops it

The one with the 45, if they mess with me, I detonate

Uh!

Oh, mom

Tito Double P, ah

Compa Tito

That’s how my compa Gabito sounds, man

Oh, fuck!

And now LV is the little bag

From Dior, the little girl, I’ve got her dressed

Mommy, whatever you want

They’re Disney princesses

Bad girls and crazy, they turn it up in this one

Mommy, I’ll fix your life

"How much did it cost?" I don’t ask anymore

I don’t need a badge, I’m the one who moves it, the one who stops it

The one with the 45, if they mess with me, I detonate

Silencing mouths, that’s what I do

Why do I tell them? White, blessed is that coke, oh

Party girls, my girls strip down

And in frog leather, details, those are their little gifts

"How much did it cost?" I don’t ask anymore

I don’t need a badge, I’m the one who moves it, the one who stops it

The one with the 45, if they mess with me, I deto-nate

Uh!

Ayo

Bye!

Ayo

¡Chau!

Voy por la vida, le agradezco a mi San Juditas

Que siempre me cuida, siempre me cuida

Sé que me pierdo en excesos, el alcohol y el sexo

El dinero, las morritas, solas se arriman

¿Y cuántas son?, ya saben quién soy

No ocupo charola, soy el que la mueve, el que la atora

El de la 45, que si se la hacen de pedo, la detona

Callando hocicos, a esto me dedico

¿Pa qué les platico?, blanco, bendito ese perico

Buchifresas, mis culitos se encueran

Y en cueros de rana, detallas, son sus regalitos

"¿Cuánto costó?", ya no pregunto

No ocupo charola, soy el que la mueve, el que la atora

El de la 45, que si se la hacen de pedo, la detona

¡Uh!

Ay, mamá

Tito Doble P, ah

Compa Tito

Así suena su compa Gabito, viejo

¡Oh, fuck!

Y ahora LV la bolsita

De Dior, la plebita, la traigo vestida

Mami, lo que pida

De Disney son princesitas

Bellacas y locas, en esta se prenden

Mami, te resuelvo la vida

"¿Cuánto costó?", ya no pregunto

No ocupo charola, soy el que la mueve, el que la atora

El de la 45, que si se la hacen de pedo, la detona

Callando hocicos, a esto me dedico

¿Pa qué les platico?, blanco, bendito ese perico, ay

Buchifresas, mis culitos se encueran

Y en cueros de rana, detallas, son sus regalitos

"¿Cuánto costó?", ya no pregunto

No ocupo charola, soy el que la mueve, el que la atora

El de la 45, que si se la hacen de pedo, la deto-na

¡Uh!

Ayo

¡Chau!
