[English]

I know I'm going to die

that's why I live life to the fullest

I pray to my God

to guide me on the right path

I like the clean money

and I love talking with you

and all my crew already knows I'm on point

I know I'm going to die

that's why I live life to the fullest

I pray to my God

to guide me on the right path

I like the clean money

and I love talking with you

and all my crew already knows I'm on point

I take a breath

I'm careful with everything

what do they have against me

if I ask nothing of them

I hop in the Suburban

I call two babes, I'll be there in a flash

it looks like there's going to be a trio

the girls are really hot

and I'm here ready for action

Don't get impatient

I'll have them ready in a flash

perico, a line, the golden tusi

tequila, the rush, locked jaw

what a great vibe this is

this frequency gets me so high

two women waiting for me in bed

Double cup of lean

I feel bad but I look clean

And some really strong ladies

only verified ones ride with me

This is how I like to walk around with Jordan sneakers

To cover my gaze, a Chrome Hearts cap

Cruising downtown

they'll probably spot me there

And to shake off sleep, I take a hit of something strong

I take a breath

I'm careful with everything

what do they have against me

if I ask nothing of them

I hop in the Suburban

I call two babes, I'll be there in a flash

it looks like there's going to be a trio

the girls are really hot and I'm here ready for action

Don't get impatient

I'll have them ready in a flash

perico, a line, the golden tusi

tequila, the rush, locked jaw

what a great vibe this is

this frequency gets me so high

two women waiting for me in bed

Double cup of lean

I feel bad but I look clean

And some really strong ladies

only verified ones ride with me

[Spanish]

Yo sé que voy a morirme

por eso bien loco Vivo

le rezo a mi Diosito

que me guíe por buen camino

Me gusta la lavada

y me encanta hablar contigo

y toda la Plebada ya saben que yo ando al tiro

Yo sé que voy a morirme

por eso bien loco Vivo

le rezo a mi Diosito

que me guíe por buen camino

Me gusta la lavada

y me encanta hablar contigo

y toda la Plebada ya saben que yo ando al tiro

Me echo un suspiro

de todo me cuido

que tienen conmigo

si nada les pido

me trepo a la suburban

le marco a dos culitos de volada caigo

parece que va haber Trío

las morras bien calientes

y yo aquí voy tendido

No se me desesperen

en cuatro las pongo en cinco

don peri, tirada, la tussi dorada

tequila, lavada, quijada trabada

qué buena está la ondeada

esta frecuencia me mama

dos culos que me esperan en la cama

Doble vaso de Lynn

Ando mal pero visto clean

Y unas damas bien machín

pura verificada las que se montan aquí

Así me gusta andar con tenis Jordan

Pa tapa de la miraba una gorrita Chrome Heart

Paseando en el Downtown

por ahí me han de wachar

Y pa quitarme el sueño me pongo uno de wash

Me echo un suspiro

de todo me cuido

que tienen conmigo lo

si nada les pido

me trepo a la suburban

le marco a dos culitos de volada caigo

parece que va haber Trío

las morras bien calientes y yo aquí voy tendido

No se me desesperen

en cuatro las pongo en cinco

don peri, tirada, la tussi dorada

tequila, lavada, quijada trabada

qué buena está la ondeada

esta frecuencia me mama

dos culos que me esperan en la cama

Doble vaso de Lynn

Ando mal pero visto clean

Y unas damas bien macín

pura verificada las que se montan aquí

Key Grammar Structures

• Yo sé que voy a morirme

  ➔ Periphrastic Future (ir a + infinitive) & Reflexive Verb

  ➔ The phrase "voy a morirme" (I am going to die) uses the periphrastic future, formed with a conjugated form of "ir" (to go) + "a" + an infinitive. "Morirme" is a reflexive verb, indicating the subject performs the action on themselves.

• que me guíe por buen camino

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Expression of Desire/Request)

  ➔ The verb "guíe" (guide) is in the present subjunctive, used here to express a wish or request after a verb of praying/asking (implied by 'rezo a mi Diosito que...').

• Me gusta la lavada y me encanta hablar contigo

  ➔ Verbs like 'Gustar' and 'Encantar' (Indirect Object Pronoun, Inverted Subject)

  ➔ Verbs like "gustar" (to like) and "encantar" (to love/delight) behave differently from English verbs. The 'thing' that is liked or loved (la lavada, hablar contigo) is the grammatical subject, and the 'person' who likes/loves is the indirect object, represented by a pronoun like "me" (to me).

• Me echo un suspiro

  ➔ Pronominal Verb (Echarse - Idiomatic Use)

  ➔ The verb "echarse" is a pronominal verb here, where the reflexive pronoun "me" changes the meaning of "echar" (to throw) to "to let out" or "to take." "Me echo un suspiro" means 'I let out a sigh' or 'I sigh.'

• le marco a dos culitos

  ➔ Redundant Indirect Object Pronoun (Dative of Interest)

  ➔ In Spanish, it's very common to use an indirect object pronoun (like "le") even when the indirect object noun phrase ("a dos culitos") is explicitly stated. This redundancy can add emphasis or simply be a natural feature of spoken Spanish.

• parece que va haber Trío

  ➔ Impersonal 'Haber' in Future Tense (va a haber)

  ➔ The phrase "va a haber" (there will be) is the future form of the impersonal verb "haber" (there is/are). It indicates existence in the future, similar to 'there will be' in English.

• Ando mal pero visto clean

  ➔ Verb 'Andar' + Adjective/Past Participle (Expressing State/Condition)

  ➔ "Andar" is often used to describe a temporary or ongoing state or condition, similar to "estar," but often implying a more active or less stable situation. Here, "ando mal" means 'I am feeling bad' or 'I'm doing badly,' and "visto clean" means 'dressed cleanly.'

• No se me desesperen

  ➔ Negative Imperative with Multiple Object Pronouns (Reflexive + Dative of Interest)

  ➔ This is a negative command directed at 'ustedes' (you all). "Desesperarse" is a reflexive verb, so "se" is required. The additional "me" is a dative of interest, indicating that the action (or lack thereof) affects the speaker's interest or well-being ('Don't get desperate on me').

• pura verificada las que se montan aquí

  ➔ Relative Pronoun (las que) and Past Participle as Adjective

  ➔ "Las que" (those who/the ones who) is a common way to refer to a group of people previously mentioned or implied (in this case, "damas"). "Verificada" is a past participle acting as an adjective, describing the quality of these women as 'verified' or 'vetted'.

• Pa quitarme el sueño

  ➔ Preposition 'Para' + Infinitive (Expressing Purpose)

  ➔ "Pa" is a colloquial shortening of "para." "Para" followed by an infinitive verb phrase is used to express the purpose or aim of an action, meaning 'in order to' or 'to'. "Quitarme el sueño" means 'to take away my sleepiness'.
