[English]

Me odian donde voy, 'toy acostumbrada

Hablan de mí, pero ni una llamada

De esa actitud yo ya estoy cansada

Quieren de mí lo que a ellas les falta

Don't worry about me, don't worry about me

Don't talk about me, don't talk about me

Said I won't succeed, don't ever doubt me

And you still gonna hate while I'm in this, shawty

Don't worry about me, don't worry about me

Don't talk about me, don't talk about me

Said I won't succeed, don't ever doubt me

And you still gonna hate while I'm in this, shawty

Solo los peces muertos siempre siguen la corriente

Sonamos en todos la'o porque somos diferentes

De lejos se nota tu envidia, hasta en New York la sienten

No saben qué más sacarme, andan tan pretendientes

Hablan de mí todavía

Se nota que usted está mordía'

Que soy puta, soy ho, soy creída

En realidad solo soy bendecida

You still be hatin'

Mientras estamos bien

I keep the haters waiting

Porque en la fila hay más de cien

Don't wanna hear my name roll off your tongue

Boy, I've been winning with thirty to none

En dos meses yo ya llegué al millón

Prepárense que esto recién comenzó, ey

Don't worry about me, don't worry about me

Don't talk about me, don't talk about me

Said I won't succeed, don't ever doubt me

And you still gonna hate while I'm in this, shawty

Don't worry about me, don't worry about me

Don't talk about me, don't talk about me

Said I won't succeed, don't ever doubt me

And you still gonna hate while I'm in this, shawty

Ay, Dios mío!

Dicen que no soy talentosa

Dicen que no soy chilena

Dicen que estoy hecha

Y en verdad, en verdad, ustedes están hablando mucho,

¿pero quién te está escuchando?

Mientras ustedes se ven bien mordío

Yo me veo bien rica, ajá

Jajaja

Hablando aún no lo creo

Me escuchan en el club, eso nunca va a parar

Esto es para los que durmieron

Con tiempo notarán que mi flow ya no es normal

Ganando mi Grammy, yo sé que va a doler

Carita bella, pero corro como bestia

Con esa mala vibra te podemos ver

De Chile estoy aquí cambiando el sistema

Con tanto piquete, es difícil de entender

En esto soy mi única competencia

Ahora duerman, no quiero ofenderte

Nadie vino a picar, vinieron a comer

Don't worry about me, don't worry about me

Don't talk about me, don't talk about me

Dime quién eres tú, tan pendiente de mí

Dime quién eres tú, yo soy Paloma Mami

Don't worry about me, don't worry about me

Don't talk about me, don't talk about me

Dime quién eres tú, tan pendiente de mí

Dime quién eres tú, yo soy Paloma Mami
