[English]

They humiliated me without knowing who I am

They judge people by the money I make

They don’t realize you have to be tougher to make it

And those they looked down on, the tables have turned on them

Diamonds on my neck, VVS

And sometimes I dress in Gucci from head to toe

Rolex and Cartier watches, today I have like ten

I bought the truck of my dreams

And if they call me arrogant for living the way I live

I just enjoy things because I work really hard

They focus on the money, not on what really matters

The loyalty of a good friend, I’m still the same as before

Interested people call me, obviously, I’m going to answer them

To tell them off, I’m not anyone’s fool

I stay solid with my people, those who knew how to help me

They have my respect and I’m always going to support them

And so they keep talking, old man

Pure Double P, right?

Bye-bye!

Pure 6-0-2, compa Edgardo

Compa Darey!

Strong red, compa Peso!

Come on in, compa Edgardo!

I am humble, even though now things are going well

I don’t disrespect anyone, they know I’m the law

I hate the jealous ones and I can see it clearly

They always talked about others, but not about themselves

With pure sacrifice I built a home

And I managed to make a lot of money, and helped the old man

They see me driving sports cars, all brand new

I don’t care what they say, I know very well who I am

And if they call me arrogant for living the way I live

I just enjoy things because I work really hard

They focus on the money, not on what really matters

The loyalty of a good friend, I’m still the same as before

Interested people call me, obviously, I’m going to answer them

To tell them off, I’m not anyone’s fool

I stay solid with my people, those who knew how to help me

They have my respect and I’m always going to support them

And here it’s getting late

[Spanish]

Me humillaron sin saber quién soy

Juzgan a la gente por el billete que gano

No se dan cuenta que pa hacerlo hay que ser más cabrón

Y al que miraban para abajo, la vuelta les dio

Diamantes en el cuello, VVS

Y a veces me visto de Gucci de frente a los pies

Relojes Rolex y Cartier, hoy tengo como diez

La camioneta de mis sueños ya me la compré

Y si me dicen presumido por vivir como yo vivo

Yo sólo disfruto de las cosas porque jalo un chingo

Se fijan en los billetes, no en lo que en realidad vale

La lealtad de un buen amigo, sigo siendo el mismo de antes

Me hablan los interesados, obvio voy a contestarles

Pa mandarlos a la verga, no soy pendejo de nadie

Sigo firme con los míos, aquel que supo ayudarme

Ellos tienen mi respeto y siempre voy a apoyarles

Y pa que sigan hablando, viejo

Pura Doble P, ¿qué no?

¡Cha-chau!

Puro 6-0-2, compa Edgardo

¡Compa Darey!

¡Fierro colorado, compa Peso!

¡Jálese, compa Edgardo!

Yo soy humilde, aunque ahora me va bien

No le falto el respeto a nadie, saben que soy ley

Aborrezco al envidioso y eso lo sé ver

Siempre hablaban de los otros, menos de lo de él

A puro desvelo armé un cantón

Y logré hacer mucho billete, y ayudé al viejón

Me miran que ando en deportivos, todos del año

No me importa lo que me digan, yo sé bien quién soy

Y si me dicen presumido por vivir como yo vivo

Yo sólo disfruto de las cosas porque jalo un chingo

Se fijan en los billetes, no en lo que en realidad vale

La lealtad de un buen amigo, sigo siendo el mismo de antes

Me hablan los interesados, obvio voy a contestarles

Pa mandarlos a la verga, no soy pendejo de nadie

Sigo firme con los míos, aquel que supo ayudarme

Ellos tienen mi respeto y siempre voy a apoyarles

Y aquí se está haciendo tarde
