[English]

I got used to the sour, it doesn't hit anymore (no)

They come to my house, no need to play it cool

Only models, like Barea (jah)

Multiplying hundreds is the task (cash, cash)

I'm the chief in your own village

I'm worth more than everything around you

Don't believe your own hype, remember Curry hits those (wuh)

Until LeBron blocks him

Come down the hill (Come down, bastard)

Because I'm with the orchestra, bastard, not the sixth

I'm never down on the bets, especially not in this one (yeh)

Tell Vico that, regarding the home stretch, we're at the end of the line

The devil injects me and I drop the hit that puts them to sleep

Trra, trra!

Another one falls due to the force of gravity

Trra, trra!

One more, just in case he survives by chance

Refute my thesis

Bastard, and we're going to give you some lessons

I haven't scored a goal (Scored a goal)

And I have Christians praying to Messi (Auh!)

You brag, bastard, but you don't live like this (you don't live like this)

Your girl spends all her time thinking about me (thinking about me)

She calls me to get some and I tell her yes

I've been a son of a bitch since I was born (wuh)

Yeh-yeh-yeh

You brag, bastard, but you don't live like this (you don't live like this)

Your girl calls me and I tell her yes (I tell her yes)

I'm not going to change, I've always been like this

I'm still here, still, still here

I've been a son of a bitch since I was born (Auh!)

I'm back on the beat again

But what do you mean "back"?

I don't understand, since I never left (wuh, wuh)

Harder than my dick

Mess with me and you'll end up split open

I have a bunch of kids, a bunch of nephews (ajá)

Whoever doesn't call me "papi" calls me "uncle" (wuh)

Respect the ranks, the position

I traded fame for admiration

I never run out of ammo

They want to show off, but they don't have the means (the means)

I live my life, living like a boss

Always active in my big ride

I made it out of the alley on my own

And I bought mami a million-dollar mansion (ah)

I've got the sauce (Sauce)

I've got the style that moves the masses (masses)

I'm loyal to my label (auh)

That's why everyone is asking what's going on

Arcángel is playing, ey-ey, no matter how much they block him

Arcángel fills every concert and we don't have him (wuh)

Yeh-yeh-yeh

You brag, bastard, but you don't live like this (you don't live like this)

Your girl calls me and I tell her yes (I tell her yes; yes)

I'm not going to change, I've always been like this (never)

I've been a son of a bitch since I was born (wou)

You brag, bastard, but you don't live like this (you don't live like this)

Your girl spends all her time thinking about me (thinking about me)

She calls me to get some and I tell her yes (I tell her yes)

I've been a son of a bitch since I was born (wuh)

Tonight we're going out

With all the boys ready for the "insecticides" (prr)

These bastards brag about their guns

And we own the hardware store (cash, cash)

We walk with all the rosaries without knowing the Hail Mary

They brag, they brag, they brag, they brag

And they're like Meek Mill, without battery

We don't miss a hook (yeh)

If I score today, I'll celebrate it (I'll celebrate it)

We'll break into your place

And we'll leave a wide hole in your face

Am I a thug? Bastard, I don't know, all I know

Is that nerves don't exist after two Percocets (no, no)

No excuses today, and if it's drawn, it's used (Draw it, use it)

If my .40 were Versace, we'd put a Medusa on your face (brrru)

The night is confusing and if you cross paths with me

Bastard, we'll leave you jumping like at Lollapalooza

Marijuana, the hookah and pills

The Cuban chain, shining from afar

Today we'll put you in a coffin

Even if you're with your family eating at Padilla's

Someone who does it like I do hasn't been born yet (no, no, no)

If I don't catch you in P.R., the Dominicans will catch you in New York

Ah-ahmm

Austin, baby

Oh, shit

And I am The Evil Goblin

Hear This Music, meaning, we killed it

Tell them, Luian

[Spanish]

Me acostumbré al sour, ya no patea (no)

Me llegan a casa, no se capea

Solo modelos, como Barea (jah)

Multiplicar cienes es la tarea (cash, cash)

Yo soy el cacique en tu propia aldea

Valgo más que todo lo que te rodea

No te la crea', recuerda que Curry las mete (wuh)

Hasta que LeBron lo gardea

Baja pa' la cuesta (Baja, cabrón)

Que ando con la orquesta, cabrón, no es la sexta

Yo nunca estoy abajo en las apuestas y menos en esta (yeh)

Dile a Vico que, de la recta final, estamos en el final de la recta

El diablo me inyecta y saco la que suena y los acuesta

¡Trra, trra!

Otro que se cae por la fuerza de gravedad

¡Trra, trra!

Otro más, por si sobrevive de casualidad

Refuta mi tesis

Cabrón, y te vamos a dar catequesis

No he metido un gol (Metido un gol)

Y tengo cristianos orándole' a Messi (¡Auh!)

Tú ronca', cabrón, y tú no vive' así (tú no vive' así)

Tu jeva se pasa pendiente de mí (pendiente de mí)

Me llama pa' darle y le digo que sí

Yo soy un hijo 'e put* desde que nací (wuh)

Yeh-yeh-yeh

Tú ronca', cabrón, y tú no vive' así (tú no vive' así)

Tu jeva me llama y le digo que sí (le digo que sí)

Yo no vo'a cambiar, yo siempre he sido así

Sigo aquí, sigo, sigo aquí

Soy un hijo 'e put* desde que nací (¡Auh!)

Volví de nuevo a meterle al beat

¿Pero cómo qué volví?

Yo no entiendo, si yo nunca me fui (wuh, wuh)

Más duro que el bicho mío

Jode' conmigo y sale' partí'o

Tengo un pa'l de hijo', pa'l de sobrino' (ajá)

El que no me dice "papi", me dice "tío" (wuh)

Respeten lo' rango', la posición

Cambié la fama por admiración

Nunca me quedo sin munición

Quieren frontear, pero no tienen condición (condición)

Sigo mi vida, vivo cabrón

Siempre activo en mi maquinón

Salí solito del callejón

Y le compré una mansión a mami de un millón (ah)

Tengo la grasa (Grasa)

Tengo el piquete que mueve la' masa' (masa')

Soy fiel a mi disquera (auh)

Por eso to' el mundo pregunta qué pasa

Arcángel suena, ey-ey, por más que lo bloqueemos

Arcángel llena todo' los concierto' y nosotro' no lo tenemo (wuh)

Yeh-yeh-yeh

Tú ronca', cabrón, y tú no vive' así (tú no vive' así)

Tu jeva me llama y le digo que sí (le digo que sí; yes)

Yo no vo'a cambiar, yo siempre he sido así (nunca)

Yo soy un hijo 'e put* desde que nací (wou)

Tú ronca', cabrón, y tú no vive' así (tú no vive' así)

Tu jeva se pasa pendiente de mí (pendiente de mí)

Me llama pa' darle y le digo que sí (le digo que sí)

Yo soy un hijo 'e put* desde que nací (wuh)

Hoy salimo' de noche

Con to' los muchacho' puesto' pa' la' insectería' (prr)

Estos cabrone' me roncan de palo'

Y nosotros dueño' de la ferretería (cash, cash)

Andamo' con to' los rosario' sin saber el avemaría

Me roncan, me roncan, me roncan, me roncan

Y están como Meek Mill, sin batería

No fallamo' un gancho (yeh)

Hoy si meto, me la engancho (me la engancho)

No' metemo' a tu rancho

Y en la cara te hacemos un hueco ancho

¿Que si soy maleante? Cabrón, yo no sé, lo que sé

Es que los nervio' no existen después de do' Percocet (no, no)

Hoy no hay excusa', y si se saca, se usa (Saca, se usa)

Si mi 40 fuera Vers*ce, en la cara te hacemos una medusa (brrru)

La noche es confusa y si conmigo te cruza'

Cabr*n, te vamo' a dejar brincando como en el Lollapal*oza

Marihuana, la hooka y pastilla'

La cubana, que de lejo' brilla

Hoy te ponemo' en capilla

Aunque ande' con la familia comiendo en Padilla

Todavía no ha nacido alguien que lo haga como yo (no, no, no)

Si no te pillo en P.R., te pillan los Domi' en New York

Ah-ahmm

Austin, baby

Oh, shit

Bad Bunny "El Conejo Malo"

Y yo soy El Duende Malvado

Hear This Music, o sea, que nos quedó cabrón

Díselo, Luian
