[English]

I don't want to go to bed, I can't sleep

I can't finish, I can't give up

So many memories, achievements I've lived

I have plenty of reasons to survive

...

I don't want to go to bed, I can't sleep

I can't finish, I can't give up

So many memories, achievements I've lived

I have plenty of reasons to survive

Not everything is as it seems

For real, I'm living proof

Don't believe me? I'm telling you

Hold up

I live very fast, the life of an artist, drugs and women

Another one for the list

In the environment, with big figures, important dates

Caviar and other elegant meals

Twenty thousand like it's nothing

A lot of clothes that are branded

Only tens are my ladies

Since before fame

But let me start

Sit down, I'm going to tell you

What you didn't know about me

The whole truth

I was arrested at 15 for wanting to achieve all my dreams

They called my parents, they told them I wasn't up to any good

Double pants to withstand the beltings

When I was kicked out I felt abandoned

These are the things one thinks about rolling a cigarette

Walking around Hollywood

These are the things one thinks about rolling a cigarette

Walking around Hollywood

I don't want to go to bed, I can't sleep

I don't want to finish, I can't give up

So many memories, achievements I've lived

I have plenty of reasons to survive

Compa Peso

I acquire what I admire

Few know what I'm talking about

I take it as I have it

Because I signed with the devil

Our generation thinks differently

Look at the president

Another one for the list of corrupt people

Absolute power, they live in pure luxury

While one here is struggling

But I will keep moving forward

But I will keep moving forward

These are the things one thinks about rolling a cigarette

Walking around Hollywood

These are the things one thinks about rolling a cigarette

Walking around Hollywood

I don't want to go to bed, I can't sleep

I can't finish, I can't give up

So many memories, achievements I've lived

I have plenty of reasons to survive

...

[Spanish]

No quiero acostarme, no puedo dormir

No puedo acabar, no me puedo rendir

Tantos recuerdos, logros que viví

Razones me sobran para sobrevivir

No quiero acostarme, no puedo dormir

No puedo acabar, no me puedo rendir

Tantos recuerdos, logros que viví

Razones me sobran para sobrevivir

No todo es como parece

Neta, yo soy prueba en vivo

¿No me creen?, yo se los digo

Hold up

Vivo muy a prisa, la vida de artista, drogas y mujeres

Otra más para la lista

En el ambiente, con figuras grandes, citas importantes

Caviar y otras comidas elegantes

Veinte mil como si nada

Mucha ropa que es de marca

Puras dieces son mis damas

Desde antes de la fama

Pero déjame empezar

Siéntense, les vo'a contar

Lo que no sabían de mí

Toa la verdad

Me arrestaron a los 15 años por querer lograr todos mis sueños

Le marcaron a mis jefes, les dijeron que no andaba en nada bueno

Doble pantalón para aguantar los cintarazos

Cuando me corrieron yo me sentí abandonado

Son las cosas que uno va pensando rolando un cigarro

Paseando por Hollywood

Son las cosas que uno va pensando rolando un cigarro

Paseando por Hollywood

No quiero acostarme, no puedo dormir

No quiero acabar, no me puedo rendir

Tantos recuerdos, logros que viví

Razones me sobran para sobrevivir

Compa Peso

Adquiero lo que yo admiro

Pocos saben de lo que hablo

Lo tomo como lo tengo

Porque firmé con el diablo

Nuestra generación piensa diferente

Mira al presidente

Otro más para la lista de corruptos

Poder absoluto, viven puro lujo

Mientras que uno aquí valiendo

Pero yo seguiré avanzando

Pero yo seguiré avanzando

Son las cosas que uno va pensando rolando un cigarro

Paseando por Hollywood

Son las cosas que uno va pensando rolando un cigarro

Paseando por Hollywood

No quiero acostarme, no puedo dormir

No puedo acabar, no me puedo rendir

Tantos recuerdos, logros que viví

Razones me sobran para sobrevivir
