Mente positiva y aquí hay cosas de la vida

Positive mind and here are things of life

Si hablo de animales, me gusta más gorilita

If I talk about animals, I like little gorillas the most

Tengo quien me cuide, también quien quiere matarme

I have someone to take care of me, also someone who wants to kill me

Pero no me escondo, ya saben dónde encontrarme

But I don't hide, they already know where to find me

Las morras me gustan, son lo mejor de la vida

I like girls, they are the best thing in life

Me gustan las güeritas, también las morenitas

I like blondes, and also brunettes

Pero que estén locas pa tirar bien el desmadre

But that they're crazy to make a mess

Que si saco un cuerno ellas también quieran jalarle

That if I pull out a gun, they also want to pull it

Que si la muerte

About death

Que si el dinero, que hay que corretear billete

About money, that you have to chase bills

Ya no hay pendiente

No worries anymore

Que buenas noches

Good evening

Unas botellas y que tire humo en la trampa

Some bottles and let smoke go in the trap

Se me destrampa

It gets out of control

Aquí andamos bien a gusto, no voy a parar

We're doing well here, I'm not going to stop

Polvo, mujeres y amigos, me gusta rolar

Powder, women and friends, I like to hang out

Y ahí le va, compa Chuchito

Hasta Tijuana, viejo, puro Junior H

Quemando llantita, que me quema la sierrita

Burning tires, that the mountains burn me

Ya prendio las luces, atrás viene un policía

No soy hocicón y me gusta tirar charola

I'm not a big mouth and I like to show off my power

Mejor no me paro, y si me alcanza pago cuota

I better not stop, and if he catches me I pay the fee

El que es aventado y tiene huevos en la vida

The one who is adventurous and has balls in life

Siempre trae dinero y pide ayudar a su familia

Always brings money and asks to help his family

Siempre trae buen carro pa levantar buenas morras

Y al que se atravieza, le hacemos volar la gorra

And the one who gets in the way, we make his hat fly

Que si la muerte

About money, that you have to chase bills

Ya no hay pendiente

Unas botellas y que tire humo en la trampa

Se me destrampa
