[English]

With some coke or washed stuff, a mini Draco strapped on

With my cap turned sideways, I haven't cut my long hair

Looking sharp in Balenciagas, when before I had nothing at all

His face just shines when he goes out to work the block

And a sip of Clase Azul, rolling up another Backwood

Cousin, go ahead and roll one, because this night is going to be long

And a pink pastel, the girls are smoking vapes

Cruising through the Tenth, buddy Bladi, I'm here doing great

And raise the flag high, buddy Nata, yeah

Sightseeing in Paris, the hash is from Morocco

Nose covered in powder, life is perfect

Big shoutouts to the Tenth, several brothers are with him

The parties get crazy, we've already seen it first-hand

With my cap turned sideways, I haven't cut my long hair

And in an armored car, when he goes out to work the block

A sip of Clase Azul, rolling up another Backwood

Cousin, pass it over, because this night is going to be long

And a pink pastel, the girls are smoking vapes

Cruising through the Tenth, buddy Bladi, I'm here doing great

[Spanish]

Con un perico o lavado, un mini Draco terciado

Con la gorrita de lado, la greña no me he cortado

Fino con las Balenciaga, si antes no cargaba nada

Nomás le brilla la cara cuando sale a chambear

Y un trago de clase azul, rolándose otro backwood

Primo, váyase forjando, que esta madre va pa' largo

Y una rosita pastel, las morritas fuman vape

Paseándose por el Diez, compa Bladi, aquí ando al cien

Y arriba la bandera compa Nata, eah

Turisteando por París, de Morocco es el hachís

Empolvada la nariz, la vida es perfecta

Saludazos para el Diez, varios compadres con él

Las fiestas se ponen bien, ya nos ha tocado ver

Con la gorrita de lado, la greña no me he cortado

Y en un carrito blindado, cuando sale a chambear

Un trago de clase azul, rolándose otro backwood

Primo, váyase rolando, que está madre va pa' largo

Y una rosita pastel, las morritas fuman vape

Paseándose por el Diez, compa Bladi, aquí ando al cien
