Here we are

Who cares if I look like Lord Farquaad, dude

Where are my fabulous ones?

The ones that are truly adored

When they walk down the street

They attract all the looks

All weekend we throw a big party

With painted faces and fabulous glitter

Bring out the beers, at least a little mezcal

Maybe what you want is a nice fourloko

I need good selfies

Before all this drinking

I took two damn hours

On my damn makeup

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Whatever, say what you want, we really don't care

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Don't be afraid of the people, here everyone accepts you

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Whatever, say what you want, we really don't care

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Don't be afraid of the people, here everyone accepts you

Come on, let's hit the street

Come, plan a good look

Hopefully when we see each other

Everyone will be shook (Shook)

Big beers in hand, with our butts well turned

Those guys who use us are really weak

Bring out the shadow Bisú, bring out your Adara lipstick

It doesn't matter if you're older, here you're adored

I need good selfies

Before all this drinking

I took two damn hours

On my damn makeup

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Whatever, say what you want, we really don't care

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Don't be afraid of the people, here everyone accepts you

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Whatever, say what you want, we really don't care

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Don't be afraid of the people, here everyone accepts you

What's up with the crowd

That feels offended?

Dude, if it bothers you so much

The exit is over there

People get scared and see us as maniacs

Maybe they forget that we are all fabulous

Here we are living life to the fullest

I'm feeling overwhelmed for staying up all night

I need good selfies

Before all this drinking

I took two damn hours

On my damn makeup

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Whatever, say what you want, we really don't care

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Don't be afraid of the people, here everyone accepts you

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Whatever, say what you want, we really don't care

Fabulous and modern, fabulous and modern

Don't be afraid of the people, here everyone accepts you

Aquí andamos

Que te valga verga si parezco Lord Farquaad, wey

¿'Ónd' 'tán mis inventadas?

Las que son bien adoradas

Que cuando van por la calle

Atraen todas las miradas

Todo el fin de semana nos armamos un fiestón

La cara pintarrajeada y con glitter mamalón

Que saquen las cervezas, tan siquiera un mezcalito

Igual y lo que quieres es un rico fourlokito

Necesito buenas selfies

Antes de tanto brebaje

Que tardé dos pinches horas

En mi puto maquillaje

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

Equis, digan lo que quieran, pues nos vale mucha verga

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

No le temas a la gente que aquí todes te aceptan

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

Equis, digan lo que quieran, pues nos vale mucha verga

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

No le temas a la gente que aquí todes te aceptan

Vente, vamos pa' la calle

Ven, planéate un buen look

Ojalá que al mirarnos

Todo mundo quede shook (Shook)

Caguamas en las manos, con los culos bien volteados

Esos vatos que nos usan son machitos bien aguados

Saca la sombra Bisú, saca tu labial Adara

No importa si eres vieja, pues aquí eres adorada

Necesito buenas selfies

Antes de tanto brebaje

Que tardé dos pinches horas

En mi puto maquillaje

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

Equis, digan lo que quieran, pues nos valen mucha verga

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

No le temas a la gente que aquí todes te aceptan

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

Equis, digan lo que quieran, pues nos vale mucha verga

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

No le temas a la gente que aquí todes de aceptan

¿Qué pedo con la raza

Que se siente agredida?

Wey, si tanto te molesta

Por allá está la salida

La gente se asusta y nos ve como maníacos

Quizá se les olvida que todos somos bellacos

Aquí andamos al cien, disfrutando de la vida

Me está cargando la verga por andar amanecida

Necesito buenas selfies

Antes de tanto brebaje

Que tardé dos pinches horas

En mi puto maquillaje

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

Equis, digan lo que quieran, pues nos vale mucha verga

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

No le temas a la gente que aquí todes te aceptan

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

Equis, digan lo que quieran, pues nos vale mucha verga

Inventadas y modernas, inventadas y modernas

No le temas a la gente que aquí todes te aceptan
