[English]

You were a goddess, but it’s a shame I changed my religion

With coughs and weed, I told another girl your name

You’re that guy’s lady now, and I’m just the wanderer

I tried to call you, but it’s busy—you don’t even answer me anymore

Little parties, cigarettes

Butts in the car

You wanted a fantasy love

And they gave you the unicorn’s horn instead

Oh, mom

Tough, but not that much, girl

Tito Double P, ah

...

A bouquet of roses, some Balenciagas, and sunglasses

The Lady Dior I gave you on your birthday—you don’t even wear it anymore

You’re that guy’s lady now, and I’m just the wanderer

I tried to call you, but it’s busy—you don’t even answer me anymore

Little parties, cigarettes

Butts in the car

You wanted a fantasy love

And they gave you the unicorn’s horn instead

Little parties, cigarettes

Butts in the car

You wanted a fantasy love

And they gave you the unicorn’s horn instead

...

[Spanish]

Eras una diosa, pero lástima cambié de religión

Con tusi y mota le dije tu nombre a otra morra

Tú eres la dama ya de ese pendejo y el vagabundo soy yo

Quise llamarte, pero está ocupado, ya ni me contesta

Farandulitas, cigarros

Culos en el carro

Querías un amor de fantasía

Y de unicornio te dieron el cuerno

Ay, mamá

Bélico, pero no tanto, mija

Tito Double P, ah

Un ramo de rosas, unos Balenciaga y unas gafas para el sol

La Lady Dior que te di en tu cumpleaños ya ni te la pones

Tú eres la dama ya dе ese pendеjo y el vagabundo soy yo

Quise llamarte, pero está ocupado, ya ni me contestas

Farandulitas, cigarros

Culos en el carro

Querías un amor de fantasía

Y de unicornio te dieron el cuerno

Farandulitas, cigarros

Culos en el carro

Querías un amor de fantasía

Y de unicornio te dieron el cuerno
