[English]

I want to forget, honestly I can't

I'm tired, I already threw in the towel

I don't want to fall asleep because I dream of you

I'm already really drunk

I just snorted another line

Looking at the photos we took

And that little video in your bed

While a whore is dancing for me

I throw the stacks of cash, they never fail

And where are you?

I still have the tattoo

While you covered mine with a "Fuck you"

I don't let the damn neighbors sleep

I cry with the drinks

I laugh with a line of powder

I'll keep being a mess

You'll have your family, it will be too late for me

Asking for another ounce

Drinking more wine

You wanted your children, but not with me

(Oh Linda)

(Tito Doble P)

And where are you?

I still have the tattoo

While you covered mine with a "Fuck you"

I don't let the damn neighbors sleep

I cry with the drinks

I laugh with a line of powder

I'll keep being a mess

You'll have your family, it will be too late for me

Asking for another ounce

Drinking more wine

You wanted your children, but not with me

(Oh Mama)

(Belico, but not too much, girl)

(Tito Doble P)

[Spanish]

Quiero olvidare la neta no puedo

Estoy cansado ya tiré la toalla

No quiero dormirme porque te sueño

Ya ando bien pedo

Me meti otra raya

Viendo las fotos que nos tomamos

Y el videito aquel en tu cama

Mientras una puta me está bailando

Tiro las pacas ellas no fallan

Y donde estas tu

Aun tengo el tattoo

Mientras tu tapaste con un Fuck u el mio

No dejo dormir a los pinches vecinos

Con los tragos lloro

Con un polvo me río

Yo seguiré siendo un desmadre

Tú tendrás tu familia pa mi sera tarde

Pidiendo otra onza

Bebiendo mas vino

Tu querías tus hijos pero no conmigo

(Ay Linda)

(Tito Doble P)

Y donde estas tu

Aun tengo el tattoo

Mientras tu tapaste con un Fuck u el mio

No dejo dormir a los pinches vecinos

Con los tragos lloro

Con un polvo me río

Yo seguiré siendo un desmadre

Tú tendrás tu familia pa mi sera tarde

Pidiendo otra onza

Bebiendo mas vino

Tu querías tus hijos pero no conmigo

(Ay Mama)

(Belico, pero no tanto mija)

(Tito Doble P)
