[English]

[music]

Long live the twins, my man.

[music]

[music]

I spend my time working nights.

Crazy, there’s adrenaline. The teeth

they mark me with a lot of bills. My mind

just looks for money.

They see me often out east. Four

just watch the calm kid [music] for

pink and all fresh. I’m feeling good

as if I stole from [music]

they see me in a rare Ferrari, there are so many that

damn it to get here.

Before I didn’t have [music] new for

shoes and now I’m doing well and I’m

a real man. Of course the days hit me

very sad. I remember my parents who

are not here. Although right now they see me

all mixed up, [music] old man. The

damn it to get here.

Long live the twins, my man.

[music]

And pure [music] special key, my

dude.

[music]

With time I learned the whole movement

like napkins without [music] so much

effort. What they tell me about everything

that I’ve done keeps me safe all the

times. And yes.

They see me in the rare Ferrari counting up. It’s because

we hustle to get here. [music]

Before I didn’t even have shoes, now

I’m living it up. I’m already a real man.

Of course the sad days come.

[music] I remember my parents who are not here

...

although right now it looks good on my side.

damn old to get here.

Ada

pure breakers, dude.

Arriba la gemeliza, mi viejo.

[música]

[música]

Me la paso chambeando nochea. Están los

locos, hay que adrenalina. Los dientes

me marcan muchos pendientes. Mi mente

solo busca [música] ser billetes.

Vaya por el este me ven seguido. Cuatro

solo cuida niño tranquilo [música] por

rosado y bien cambiadito. Ando placoso

como robé de [música]

me ven en rar y Ferrari son tantos que

chingados para llegar aquí.

Antes no tenía [música] nuevo para

zapatos y ahora ando gonzando y ando

bien macho. Claro que me llega los días

bien triste. Recuerdo a mis padres que

no están aquí. Aunque ahorita me ven

todo combinado, [música] viejo. La

chingado para llegar aquí.

Arriba la gemeliza, mi viejo.

[música]

Y pura [música] clave especial, mi

viejo.

[música]

Con el tiempo aprendí todo el vomimiento

como servilletes sin [música] tanto

esfuerzo. Lo que me dicen por todo lo

que hecho yoito me cuida todos los

tiempos. Y sí.

Me ven en el rar Ferrari sumando. Es que

le chingamos para llegar aquí. [música]

Antes no tenía ni para zapatos, ahora

ando gozando. Ya ando bien machen.

Claro que me llegan los días tristes.

están aquí

aunque ahorita me mira bien con mi lado.

Viejole chingado para llegar aquí.

Ada

puro breakers, viejo.

Key Grammar Structures

• Me la paso chambeando nochea.

  ➔ Reflexive verb + 'pasar' + gerund (habitual action)

  ➔ The phrase **"Me la paso"** uses the reflexive pronoun *me* plus the verb *pasar* to mean “I spend my time…”. The gerund *chambeando* shows a continuous, habitual activity.

• Hay que adrenalina.

  ➔ Impersonal construction 'Hay que' + infinitive

  ➔ The phrase **"Hay que"** is an impersonal expression meaning “one must / it is necessary to”. It is followed directly by the infinitive *adrenalina* (elliptical for *tener adrenalina*).

• Mi mente solo busca ser billetes.

  ➔ Simple present + infinitive as direct object complement

  ➔ The verb *busca* is in the **simple present**, and it is followed by the infinitive *ser* which functions as the object of the search – “my mind only looks to **"ser"** (be) money”.

• Vaya por el este me ven seguido.

  ➔ Imperative form (Vaya) + prepositional phrase

  ➔ The word **"Vaya"** is the formal second‑person singular imperative of *ir* (“go”). It is followed by the prepositional phrase **"por el este"** (through the east).

• Ando placoso como robé de [música].

  ➔ Present progressive with 'andar' + gerund (colloquial sense of 'to be doing')

  ➔ The verb **"Ando"** (from *andar*) combined with the gerund *placoso* creates a colloquial progressive meaning “I’m feeling smug”.

• Antes no tenía [música] nuevo para zapatos y ahora ando gonzando y ando bien macho.

  ➔ Imperfect tense for past habit + contrast with present progressive

  ➔ The clause **"Antes no tenía"** uses the **imperfect** (*no tenía*) to describe a past lacking state. The later **"ahora ando gonzando"** shifts to the **present progressive** (*ando* + gerund) to show a current change.

• Aunque ahorita me ven todo combinado, viejo.

  ➔ Concessive clause with 'aunque' + present indicative

  ➔ The conjunction **"Aunque"** introduces a concession. Here it is followed by the **present indicative** *me ven* (“they see me”), showing that the concession refers to a present situation.

• Recuerdo a mis padres que no están aquí.

  ➔ Relative clause introduced by 'que'

  ➔ The word **"que"** starts a **relative clause** (*que no están aquí*) that gives more information about *mis padres*. It functions like “who are not here”.

• Con el tiempo aprendí todo el vomimento como servilletes sin tanto esfuerzo.

  ➔ Preterite tense for completed action + indirect object construction

  ➔ The verb **"aprendí"** is in the **preterite** (*aprendí* – “I learned”), indicating a finished action. The phrase **"como servilletes"** functions as an **indirect object** describing *what* was learned.

• Lo que me dicen por todo lo que hecho yoito me cuida todos los tiempos.

  ➔ Relative pronoun 'lo que' + subordinate clause; use of 'todo lo que' for emphasis

  ➔ The phrase **"Lo que"** functions as a **relative pronoun** introducing the clause *que me dicen…*. The addition of **"todo lo que"** intensifies the meaning – “everything that they tell me”.
