Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Do you want it or not?

It brings it

Ah ah

Ah ah

Ah ah

Ah ah

Do you want it or not?

Ah ah

Ah ah

Ah ah

Do you want it or not?

Do you want it or not?

The world is yours, do you want it or not?

Oh

The stacks of cash, the dollars, and the flying cars, do you want them or not?

Oh

Yeah

Ending up in jail, do you want that or not?

Sleepless nights, do you want them or not?

So you want it, do you want it or not?

Oh

Do you want it or not?

The world is yours, do you want it or not?

Oh

The stacks of cash, the dollars, and the flying cars, do you want them or not?

Oh

Yeah

Ending up in jail, do you want that or not?

Sleepless nights, do you want them or not?

So you want it, do you want it or not?

Oh

Yeah

A mountain of cash

Everyone chases the same thing, but many run if it starts to rain

With my brain on autopilot,

in an automatic Mercedes

Thinking about how to free myself from all those demons in my attic

Yeah

You just watching me fall, and I don't need anyone else

I don't trust anyone anymore because I don't know

Yeah

And tomorrow I don't know what's going to happen

And I don't know if it's worth it for my mind to live in yesterday now

Do you want it or not?

Do you want it or not?

Do you want it or not?

The world is yours, do you want it or not?

Oh

The stacks of cash, the dollars, and the flying cars, do you want them or not?

Oh

Yeah

Ending up in jail, do you want that or not?

Sleepless nights, do you want them or not?

So you want it, do you want it or not?

Do you want it or not?

The world is yours, do you want it or not?

Oh

The stacks of cash, the dollars, and the flying cars, do you want them or not?

Oh

Yeah

Ending up in jail, do you want that or not?

Sleepless nights, do you want them or not?

Never, I've never been far, but at 14 they'd give me three and a half

It was for being in the middle, today I had no choice

I've heard my mom listening to my songs in the background on the radio in the yard

I'd look at the sky all serious, from the yard stepping off the stage

I was nobody, I saved bread for mom, my first gigs

I was a lone rider child, back to the neighborhood, greetings to Manolo

Wanting to fly, and I don't even know the sky

It's true I've taken thousands of flights

No work, nothing, just a passenger

I didn't dream of going on a cruise

Only of hitting a cop hard

Only of giving my mom my money, buying her a house, and having her see the whole world

To be a legend like Agüero

I represent abroad

I score, I don't hit the crossbar

For that, I'd rather wait

A soldier, I'd die for family

A friend through thick and thin

I never sell out, not even for a price

I already know what the streets and money are like

I have many friends, but when one eventually turns out to be a yes-man

I don't want them, I never want them, say it to my face, otherwise I don't want it

Taking one step, another step, I was in the scene

There was a lot of thirst, was it bad? I don't know

Taking one step, another step, I was in the scene

There was a lot of thirst, was it bad? I don't know

Do you want it or not?

Do you want it or not?

Do you want it or not?

The world is yours, do you want it or not?

The stacks of cash, the dollars, and the flying cars, do you want them or not?

Ending up in jail, do you want that or not?

Sleepless nights, do you want them or not?

So you want it, do you want it or not?

Do you want it or not? That your mother sees you through a prison glass

How bad, how bad, how bad, do you want it or not? How bad, how bad

Do you want it or not? But well, you have to face it

When you do wrong, when you do wrong

Lo tre la eh eh eh

Lo tre la eh eh eh

Liliveh baby

Una montaña de papel

To' el mundo persigue eso mismo, pero muchos corren si empieza a llover

Con el cerebro en automático,

en un Mercedes automático

Pensando en cómo liberarme de to's esos demonios que están en mi ático

Yeah

Tú solo viéndome caer, y no necesito a nadie más

Ya no confío en nadie porque ya no sé

Yeah

Y mañana no sé qué va a ser

Y no sé si merece la pena que ahora mi cabeza viva en el ayer

¿Lo quieres o no?

¿Lo quieres o no?

¿Lo quieres o no?

El mundo es tuyo, ¿lo quieres o no?

Entrar al talego, ¿lo quieres o no?

Noches sin sueño, ¿las quieres o no?

Nunca, yo nunca he estado lejos pero con 14 me daban 3 y medio

Fue por estar en el medio, hoy en día no tuve remedio

Esta mamá yo la he escuchando de fondo mis temas en el patio en la radio

Miraba el cielo todo serio, del patio saliendo del escenario

No era nadie, guardaba pan para mamá, los primeros bolos

Era un niño de a caballo solo, vuelta para el barrio, saludo al Manolo

Queriendo volar y no conozco ni el cielo

Es verdad que llevo miles de vuelos

Cero trabajo, nada, pasajero

No soñaba con ir de crucero

Solo con pegarle fuerte a un madero

Solo con mamá darle mi dinero, comprarle una casa y que vea el mundo entero

Ser leyenda como el Agüero

Represento en el extranjero

Yo la marco, no doy al larguero

Para eso mejor yo me espero

Un soldado, familia me muero

Un amigo en lo malo y lo bueno

No me vendo nunca ni un número

Ya sé lo que es la calle y el dinero

Tengo muchos amigos pero cuando alguno en el tiempo me sale un palmero

No lo quiero, nunca no lo quiero, a la cara si no no lo quiero

Dando un paso, otro paso, estaba en el caché

Había mucha sed, era malo no lo sé

Dando un paso, otro paso, estaba en el caché

Había mucha sed, era malo no lo sé

¿Lo quieres o no?

¿Lo quieres o no?

¿Lo quieres o no?

El mundo es tuyo, ¿lo quieres o no?

Las pacas, los cheles y los carros que vuelan, ¿los quieres o no?

Entrar al talego, ¿lo quieres o no?

Noches sin sueño, ¿las quieres o no?

Entonces lo quieres, ¿lo quieres o no?

¿Lo quieres o no?, que tu madre te vea en un cristal

Que mal, que mal, que mal, ¿lo quieres o no?, que mal, que mal

¿Lo quieres o no?, pero bueno tienes que afrontar

A la hora de tú hacer el mal, a la hora de tú hacer el mal

Lo tre la eh eh eh

341

Lo tre la eh eh eh

Liliveh bebé

Lo tre la, lo tre la, con el primo Muero

Lo tre la

Y se la, lo tre la, lo tre la, eh eh eh
