Ayo

Chau!

...

I'm living my life, thanks to my Saint Jude

He always watches over me, always watches over me

I know I get lost in excess—alcohol and sex

Money and chicks, they come flocking

How many? You already know who I am

I don't need a helping hand; I'm the one running this, the one who locks it down

I'm the .45 guy—if they mess with me, I blow it up

Shutting mouths, this is what I do

Why bother explaining? That white stuff—blessed coke

Spoiled rich girls, my little honeys strip naked

Dressed in frogskins, you flaunt it—that's their little gift

'How much did it cost?' I don't ask anymore

I don't need a helping hand; I'm the one running this, the one who locks it down

I'm the .45 guy—if they mess with me, I blow it up

Uh!

Oh, mama

Tito Double P, ah

My man Tito

This is how your buddy Gabito sounds, man

Oh, fuck!

And now the little LV bag

From Dior—got that shorty dressed up

Girl, whatever you want

They’re like little Disney princesses

Freaky and wild, in this one they light up

Girl, I'll sort out your whole life

'How much did it cost?' I don't ask anymore

I don't need a helping hand; I'm the one running this, the one who locks it down

I'm the .45 guy—if they mess with me, I blow it up

Shutting mouths, this is what I do

Why bother explaining? That white stuff—blessed coke, oh

Spoiled rich girls, my little honeys strip naked

Dressed in frogskins, you flaunt it—that's their little gift

'How much did it cost?' I don't ask anymore

I don't need a helping hand; I'm the one running this, the one who locks it down

I'm the .45 guy—if they mess with me, I blow it up

Uh!

Ayo

Chau!

[Spanish]

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!
