[English]

My neck is ice like Lucifer - They want to be like me too

Sorry, but it's not gonna happen - The flow I have didn't happen overnight

I suffered a lot to deserve this - While I take a hit

of LA - To get to the top, I made connections

He who doesn't take risks never wins

And my neck is ice like Lucifer - Diamonds shine all over me

Sorry girl, it's not gonna happen - I'm going with my Lira to compose

The Grey Audi speeds by - Someone get me a dab, who's gonna do it?

Because this style isn't new - I'll say it to you one last time

I'll say it to you one last time - I'll say it to you one last time

Many memories from yesterday - I went all out with my brother

I bought the feathers too - I went big and I made it

And I shut all those mouths up - Swallow hard, and your teeth too

With a poison, I'm at one hundred - I cruise comfortably on the freeway

And my neck is ice like Lucifer - Diamonds shine all over me

Sorry girl, it's not gonna happen - I'm going with my Lira to compose

The Grey Audi speeds by - Someone get me a dab, who's gonna do it?

Because this style isn't new - I'll say it to you one last time

I'll say it to you one last time - I'll say it to you one last time

Yo yo yo yo - Yo yo yo yo

Yo yo yo yo - Yo yo yo yo

[Spanish]

El cuello ice como lucifer Quieren ser como yo tambíen 

Perdón más no se va a poder El flow que tengo no es de ayer

Mucho sufrir costo pa merecer Mientras yo me echo un  

pase por LA Para subir yo me asocié

El que no arriesga nunca le va bien

Y el cuello ice como lucifer Brillan diamantes en mi ser

Perdón niña no se va a poder Voy con mi Lira a componer 

Rápido pasa el Audi color Grey Me sirve un dab quien me lo va poner

Pues este estilo no es de ayer se lo repito por última vez 

se lo repito por última vez se lo repito por última vez

Varios recuerdos del ayer Con mi carnal me la rifé 

También las plumas las compré Tiré a lo grande y lo logré

Y esas bocas todas yo las cayé Traguen saliva y sus dientes también 

Con un veneno paso al 100 Que a gusto me paseo en el freeway

Y el cuello ice como lucifer Brillan diamantes en mi ser

Perdón niña no se va a poder Voy con mi Lira a componer 

Rápido pasa el Audi color Grey Me sirve un dab quien me lo va poner

Pues este estilo no es de ayer se lo repito por última vez 

se lo repito por última vez se lo repito por última vez

Yo yo yo yo Yo yo yo yo 

Yo yo yo yo Yo yo yo yo
