[English]

That I'm the problem

Your friends say I'm not worth it

Just so you can use me

She doesn't ask for Dom Pérignon, she wants a caguama

And before we fuck, we smoke marijuana

If they knew what happens with me in her bed

And if she tells them, they'll surely call me

And even if I'm not flashy

We can be happy

Silly girls, if they only knew

That these aren't just slip-ups

Pinocchio if you say we're just friends

So nice to bump into you, and I go (oh, oh!)

"Princess, you're beautiful and I'm a punishment

You feel the rush and I make love to you"

What a bad situation, preppy girls are my addiction

You're Barbie, I'm your action-figure Ken

And that's how I am, a bit of a rogue

Relax, I'll take care of you

Your hero for protection

And on the door handles, your name, my love

And here I am, you're my downfall

You in if you want, or out if you don't

Tito Double P

Oh, mama!

Aggressive, but not too much, baby

Ah

...

What a bad situation, preppy girls are my addiction

You're Barbie, I'm your action-figure Ken

And that's how I am, a bit of a rogue

Relax, I'll take care of you

Your hero for protection

And on the door handles, your name, my love

And here I am, you're my downfall

You in if you want, or out if you don't

...

[Spanish]

Que yo soy el problema

Tus amigas dicen que no valgo la pena

Pa que me utilices

No pide Dom Péri, ella pide caguama

Y antes de chingar quemamos marihuana

Supieran conmigo qué pasa en su cama

Y si ella les cuenta, seguro me llaman

Y aunque no soy de feria

Podemos ser felices

Tontitas, si supieran

Que no son deslices

Pinocho si dices que somos amigos

Qué rico toparme contigo y digo (¡ay, ay!)

"Princesa, eres bella y yo soy un castigo

Tú sientes el efecto y yo te hago el amor"

Qué mala situación, las fresas mi adicción

Tú eres Barbie, yo, tu Ken de acción

Y así soy, un poco malandrón

Tranqui, que te cuido yo

Superón para mi protección

Y en las cachas tu nombre, mi amor

Y aquí estoy, eres mi perdición

Tú sí, si no quieres, no

Tito Double P

¡Ay, mamá!

Bélico, pero no tanto, mija

Ah

Qué mala situación, las fresas mi adicción

Eres Barbie, yo, tu Ken de acción

Y así soy, un poco malandrón

Tranqui, que te cuido yo

Superón para mi protección

Y en las cachas tu nombre, mi amor

Y aquí estoy, eres mi perdición

Tú sí, si no quieres, no
