[English]

Trakas, son of a bitch!

A squad was spotted around here with long rifles, firearms

To be doing what I'm doing, you need more than just having two balls

A lot of mentality, thank God, just like my dad

I've got a SCAR here and a potato launcher if you misbehave

The silver LVs in the armored truck, a lot of hides

I'm a real dog for work, and a true gentleman for the ladies

It moves in quantity, it's not Doritos, it's pure quality

The Dior bag is full of dollars, they come from LA

That's how Luis R sounds

And the Clave Especial

Trakas, son of a bitch!

...

Baby, come here, don't let my business scare you

I bought you these jewels, and this perfume is Baccarat

Don't let the rings on the back scare you, it's security

Shipments come and go, the work sells like In-N-Out

A squad was spotted around here with long rifles, firearms

Coming down from the mountains, and they saw us there in La Perla too

A lot of mentality, thank God, just like my dad

I've got a SCAR here and a potato launcher if you misbehave

...

[Spanish]

¡Trakas, hijue su puta madre!

Por ahí se vio un comando con rifles largos, armas de fuego

Pa andar en lo que yo ando, se ocupa más que tener dos huevos

Mucha mentalidad, gracias a Dios, igualito a mi apá

Aquí traigo una SCAR y un lanzapapas si se portan mal

Los LV plateados en la blindada, chingo de cueros

Pa'l jale soy bien perro, y pa las damas, bien caballero

Se me mueve en cantidad, no son Doritos, pura calidad

La Dior repleta está de dolaritos, llegan de LA

Así suena Luis R

Y la Clave Especial

¡Trakas, hijue su puta madre!

Mija, vente p'acá, quе no te espante a ti mi actividad

Tе compré estas joyas, y este perfume dice Baccarat

Los anillos de atrás que no te espanten, son seguridad

Fletes vienen y van, se vende el jale como el In-N-Out

Por ahí se vio un comando con rifles largos, armas de fuego

Bajando de la sierra, y allá en La Perla también nos vieron

Mucha mentalidad, gracias a Dios, igualito a mi apá

Aquí traigo una SCAR y un lanzapapas si se portan mal
