[English]

Devil mode, devil mode

I look good when they lie to me

I look good being the same as always

I look good with whatever they make up, yeah

I look good

I look good when they lie to me

I look good being the same as always

I look good with whatever they make up

I look good, yeah, yeah, yeah

Baby, come on, hold my hands

Feel the heat of how everyone looks at us

Because if at least you're by my side

It becomes easier for me to face that life

These white folks already want to kill us

Because they can't stand seeing us so high

I'm fronting, counting what I live

Without having to start lying

Hey, yeah, and now I live in the mansion

A few blocks away, my avenue

I can almost see it from the balcony

While I'm burning trash

Who do I think I am?

The best, at least these days

Every league has its Jordan, it's obvious I'm the one for mine

I don't have seriousness

Lombardo kid, charm

Italy league, Serie A

Icardi kid, good life

How are they going to bring me down?

If I was born on top

How are they going to bring me down?

If I'm the owner of the league

Forget your feelings, I'm a rockstar

I feel like a rockstar

I hook up with girls like a rockstar

I take pills like a rockstar

Forget your feelings, I'm a rockstar

I feel like a rockstar

I hook up with girls like a rockstar

I take pills like a rockstar

Rockstar

Baby, I'm a rockstar (yeah, yeah)

Baby, I'm a rockstar, yeah

I am a rockstar, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

...

[Spanish]

Modo diablo, modo diablo

Me queda bien cuando me mienten

Me queda bien ser el de siempre

Me queda bien to lo que inventen, yeah

Me queda bien

Me queda bien cuando me mienten

Me queda bien ser el de siempre

Me queda bien to lo que inventen

Me queda bien, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mami, dale, agarrame las manos

Sentir el calor de cómo to nos miran

Que si al menos vos estás a mi lado

Se me hace más fácil afrontar esa vida

Estos blancos ya quieren matarnos

Porque no toleran vernos tan arriba

Yo fronteando, contando lo que vivo

Sin tener que ponerme a hablar mentiras

Ey, yeah, y ahora vivo en la mansión

A pocas cuadras, mi avenida

Casi que la veo desde el balcón

Mientras estoy quemando porquería

¿Que quién me creo que soy?

El mejor, al menos en estos días

Cada liga tiene su Jordan, es obvio que yo soy el de la mía

Yo no tengo seriedad

Niño Lombardo, simpatía

Liga Italia, serie A

Niño Icardi, buena vida

¿Que cómo me van a bajar?

Si es que yo ya nací arriba

¿Que cómo me van a bajar?

Si soy dueño de la liga

Fuck your feelings, I'm a rockstar

Yo me siento como un rockstar

Cojo putas como un rockstar

Tomo pastillas como un rockstar

Fuck your feelings, I'm a rockstar

Yo me siento como un rockstar

Cojo putas como un rockstar

Tomo pastillas como un rockstar

Rockstar

Baby, I'm a rockstar (yeah, yeah)

Baby, I'm a rockstar, yeah

Yo soy un rockstar, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Key Grammar Structures

• Me queda bien cuando me mienten

  ➔ Reflexive verb "quedar" + adverb "bien" + "cuando" clause

  ➔ "Quedar bien" means "to suit me" or "to look good on me". "Cuando me mienten" means "when they lie to me." This is using the conditional to express a sense of something being okay or suitable in a certain circumstance. The implication is that even when lied to, the speaker is unfazed.

• Se me hace más fácil afrontar esa vida

  ➔ Impersonal construction "se me hace" + adjective "fácil" + infinitive "afrontar"

  ➔ "Se me hace más fácil" translates to "It becomes easier for me." This is an impersonal construction. "Afrontar esa vida" means "to face that life." This structure focuses on the feeling or the effect on the speaker rather than attributing the action to a specific subject.

• Porque no toleran vernos tan arriba

  ➔ "Porque" clause indicating reason, verb "tolerar" + infinitive "vernos" + adverb "tan" + adjective "arriba"

  ➔ "Porque" introduces the reason: "Because". "No toleran" means "they don't tolerate". "Vernos tan arriba" means "seeing us so high (up)". "Tan" is used to intensify the adjective "arriba."

• ¿Que quién me creo que soy?

  ➔ Indirect question using "que" + interrogative pronoun "quién" + reflexive verb "creerse"

  ➔ This is an indirect question. Literally, it translates to: "Who do I believe that I am?". "Creerse" (to believe oneself to be) is used reflexively here.

• Cada liga tiene su Jordan, es obvio que yo soy el de la mía

  ➔ Possessive adjective "su", impersonal "es obvio que" + subordinate clause with "que", use of "el de" + possessive pronoun "mía" to replace a noun

  ➔ "Cada liga tiene su Jordan" - "Each league has its Jordan." "Es obvio que yo soy el de la mía" - "It's obvious that I am the one of mine (league)". Here, "el de la mía" replaces "el Jordan de mi liga." This demonstrates a more advanced understanding of pronoun usage for brevity and stylistic effect.

• ¿Que cómo me van a bajar?

  ➔ Indirect question using "que" + adverb "cómo" + verb phrase "van a bajar" (future tense)

  ➔ Indirect question: "How are they going to bring me down?". The use of "ir a + infinitive" expresses future tense.
