Esto se jodió

La vecina no sé qué bebió

El vecino no sé qué prendió

A la gente no sé qué le dio, pero

To' el mundo, to' el mundo está loco

To' el mundo rayao' del coco

Y yo solo sé que montaron

'Tá perfecto ese party

Mami, tú estás bien salvaje

Y yo que estoy de safari

DJ, no le baje', pongan la de Tego y de Daddy

Ese culo e' de quilate'

Se te notan los pilate'

Hoy tú gana' o yo gano, no lo dejamo' en empate

En mi casa es el remate

Nos fuimo' low-key

Callao', sin dar detalle'

La gente ya se dio cuenta que montamo'

La disco en la calle y esto es

Yo crecí en el ghetto y el mundo e' la casa mía
