[English]

Go Los Gemelos, old man!

...

I spend my time working night and day

I like the crazy side, oh, what an adrenaline rush

Clients call me with plenty of things pending

My mind is only focused on making money

They see me often over in the East

Four Suburbans, keeping the kid relaxed

Pink Patek watch, and I've changed my style

I'm rolling flashy, like Robert De Niro

And if you see me zooming in the rari-Ferrari

It's because I've worked my ass off to get here

Before, I didn't even have shoes to wear

And now I'm enjoying life and doing great

Of course, I have some very sad days

I remember my parents who aren't here with me

And although right now you see me all dressed up

Old man, I've worked my ass off to get here

And go those damn Gemelos, old man!

Fuer-za-za-za Re-

Los Gemelos

And pure Clave Especial, old man!

Ay!

...

Over time, I learned how the game works

How to make money without too much effort

They call me "Crazy" for everything I put into it

God watches over me all the time

And if you see me zooming in the rari-Ferrari

It's because we worked our asses off to get here

Before, I didn't even have shoes to wear

Now I'm enjoying life and doing great

Of course, I have sad days

I remember my parents who aren't here with me

Although right now you see me all dressed up

Old man, I've worked my ass off to get here

...

Pure Gema Records, old man

...

[Spanish]

Arriba las gemelizas, mi viejo

Me la paso chambeando noche y día

Me gustan los locos, ay, qué adrenalina

Los clientes me marcan muchos pendientes

Mi mente solo busca hacer billetes

Allá por el este me ven seguido

Cuatro Suburbans al niño tranquilo

Patek rosado y bien cambiadito

Ando placoso como Robert De Niro

Y si me ven en el rari-Ferrari zumbando

Es que le he chingado pa llegar aquí

Antes no tenía ni hubo para zapatos

Y ahora ando gozando y ando bien machín

Claro que me llegan los días bien tristes

Recuerdo a mis padres que no están aquí

Y aunque ahorita me ven todo combinado

Viejo, le he chingado pa llegar aquí

Y arriba las putas gemelizas, mi viejo

Fuer-za-za-za Re-

Los Gemelos

Y pura Clave Especial, mi viejo

¡Ay!

Con el tiempo aprendí todo el movimiento

Cómo hacer billetes sin tanto esfuerzo

"Loco", me dicen por todo lo que echo

Diosito me cuida todos los tiempos

Y si me ven en el rari-Ferrari zumbando

Es que le chingamos pa llegar aquí

Antes no tenía ni hubo para zapatos

Ahora ando gozando y ando bien machín

Claro que me llegan los días tristes

Recuerdo a mis padres que no están aquí

Aunque ahorita me miran bien combinado

Viejo, le he chingado pa llegar aquí

Puro Gema Records, viejo
