[English]

Hit it

Shake that ass, make your baby daddy mad (hit it)

Shake that ass, make your baby daddy mad (hit it)

Shake that ass, make your baby daddy mad (hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it)

DJ, let's go

It takes two to make a tango, right?

But it takes three to meet outside

It takes two to make a tango, right?

But it takes three to meet outside

I wanna rock right now

It's Mr. Worldwide and I came to get down

Already internationally known

And your boy's known to rock the globe

'Cause I get loose, I mean, outrageous

Yeah, I get loose, nothin' rough, blue faces

Catch me in a suit at a NASCAR race

Trackhouse ride of war for a championship place

Girls love me, mamis adore me

No social media, but, baby, you can call me

Y esto es para todos latino' en el mundo

Siempre primero, nunca segundo, dale

It takes two to make a tango, right?

But it takes three to meet outside

It takes two to make a tango, right?

But it takes three to meet outside

Name's Armando, but the world calls me Pit

Cuban from Miami, love the state, I'm the mix

Here's an idea that I wanna share

You don't like me?

Fuck you, I don't care

Número uno and I cruise like a Top Gun

She's a hot one and blows like a shotgun

Hustle dream house in the keys, got one

Looking for a hit, my dawg, she don't got some

Not a follower, I'm a leader

Nah, I'm not a gangsta, but I drop you like Adidas

My name clean, so I don't need a bodyguard

Not a lawyer, but you can meet me at the bar

It takes two to make a tango, right?

But it takes three to meet outside

It takes two to make a tango, right?

But it takes three to meet outside
